| Abstract: | Enhancing self‐efficacy, self‐perception, and social support can be an effective way for people with spinal cord injury (SCI) to move forward. The purpose of this study was to explore relationships between “moving‐forward behavior” and demographic and disease characteristics, self‐efficacy, self‐perception, and social support among people with SCI. The study was designed as a descriptive‐correlation, cross‐sectional study. The participants were selected using cluster random sampling (n = 210) through the Spinal Injury Association in Taiwan. A statistically significant relationship was found between moving‐forward behavior and age (t = ?2.30, p < .05), self‐efficacy (γ = ?0.25, p < .01), and self‐perception (γ = ?0.39, p < .01). Age (odds ratio [OR] = 0.964, p < .05) and self‐perception (OR = 0.824, p < .05) were both significant predictors of moving‐forward behavior |
