Persons after spinal cord lesion who are not independent need informal or formal assistance. Informal assistance is usually provided by family members, who become (or are already) physically and psychologically (over)burdened. An educational program for relatives that is implemented before a patient is discharged home from rehabilitation can reduce the burden and lower the incidence of secondary complications, and thus reduce healthcare costs, in the long-term. We started an educational program for relatives at our Department for rehabilitation of persons with spinal cord lesion three years ago. Like in other countries, we have been observing many advantages of such a program, which we are still improvingZaradi okvare hrbtenjače narastejo stroški zdravstvene obravnave posameznika, hkrati pa tudi družbenoekonomski stroški. Osebe z okvaro hrbtenjače, ki niso povsem samostojne, potrebujejo neformalno ali formalno pomoč. Neformalno pomoč najpogosteje nudijo svojci, ki postanejo ali pa so že telesno in duševno (pre)obremenjeni. Program izobraževanja svojcev, ki se izvede pred zaključkom rehabilitacije in pred vrnitvijo bolnika v domače okolje, lahko zmanjša obremenjenost svojcev, dolgoročno pa zniža pojavnost sekundarnih zapletov pri osebah z okvaro hrbtenjače in zato stroškov zdravstvene obravnave. Na Oddelku za rehabilitacijo oseb z okvaro hrbtenjače smo z izvajanjem programa izobraževanja svojcev pričeli pred tremi leti. Tako kot v tujini, tudi mi ugotavljamo mnoge prednosti takega programa, ki ga še izpopolnjujemoTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverzitetni rehabilitacijski inštitut RS – Soča
