This study explores how well a new program called ReWork-SCI works for people with spinal cord injuries who want to return to their jobs. The program focuses on the individual needs of each person. The study looks at whether people are willing to participate in the program, if the program is acceptable to them, and whether the study design itself is good for measuring the program's success. The program involves a coordinator who helps people with spinal cord injuries create a plan to return to work, considering their personal circumstances and working with their employer.
The intervention can contribute to a systematic design of an individualized plan for RTW after SCI.
ReWork-SCI can facilitate decision-making in the RTW process.
The intervention can build trust in the RTW process for individuals with SCI.
