Brief Summary
The goal of this pilot study is to design and feasibility test a mobile phone text messaging (SMS) self-management intervention for persons with spinal cord injury (PwSCI). The project will focus on providing a 16-week text messaging intervention on the secondary health conditions of bowel/bladder management, pain, pressure injury, and psychosocial health. Our hopes are to reduce the impact of secondary health conditions (SHC) for PwSCI. The project hopes to test whether the developed self-management program will be feasible and superior to a control group. determine the feasibility and efficacy of the SMS intervention main questions the study aims to answer are: Participants will: Complete an initial assessment Participate in a 16-week text messaging program using their mobile phones Complete 4-week check-ins Complete a post assessment The main question\[s\] it aims to answer \[is/are\]: \[primary hypothesis or outcome measure 1\]? \[primary hypothesis or outcome measure 2\]? If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare \[arm information\] to see if \[insert effects\]. Participants will \[describe the main tasks participants will be asked to do, interventions they'll be given and use bullets if it is more than 2 items\].
