超連結系統理論在脊髓損傷復健期之臨床應用

本文主要目的是介紹「超連結系統理論」，此理論是使用紮根理論研究方式建立的脊髓損傷復健護理理論，以「建立超連結的過程」表達和解釋此理論，強調脊髓損傷復健護理是復健護士不斷建立「人際關係」與不停的建立「連結」的過程，「時機」是很重要的因素，超連結系統包含四個連結：連結脊髓損傷患者、連結家屬、連結跨專業復健小組人員及連結社區，此理論能增進復健護士提供以患者及家屬為中心的脊髓損傷復健護理，藉由以理論為依據，提昇復健護理之品質，並能增進復健護士在復健醫療小組中的地位。

The purpose of this paper is to introduce Super-Link System Theory, which is a theory of spinal cord injury rehabilitation. This theory has been developed using the grounded theory research method. By explaining the procedure for establishing a super-link system the paper explains the complex structure of this theory. Super-Link System Theory emphasizes that rehabilitation nurses ‘build up their interpersonal relationships’ with clients, family caregivers, the interdisciplinary team, and the community, and attempt to ‘establish links’ among them. They know these links have to be made with appropriate ‘timing’, and must be able to access the appropriate people when necessary. Super-link systems include the following four links: link to client with spinal cord injury, link to family caregiver, link to interdisciplinary rehabilitation team, and link to community. It can enable rehabilitation nurses to provide a better quality of nursing care to clients and their family caregivers, as well as promote their professional position in the interdisciplinary rehabilitation team.
