The Aus-InSCI Translation Project is working to translate findings from the Australian Spinal Cord Injury Community Survey (Aus-InSCI) into meaningful improvements for people living with spinal cord injury (SCI). The project brings together people with lived experience, researchers,   clinicians and other stakeholders to identify priorities, build evidence and co-design practical actions that can improve health, wellbeing, participation and quality of life for people with SCI.  

A range of resources has been developed through the project to share Aus-InSCI findings, communicate key priorities and support the translation of research into action.

 

Project Resources

 

Aus-InSCI Community Survey Data Summaries
The Aus-InSCI Community Survey Data Summaries provide accessible summaries of findings from the Australian InSCI Community Survey across key areas of life and health for people with SCI. These resources help translate survey data into clear and accessible information for people with SCI, families, clinicians, researchers and other stakeholders. Current resources include bowel data summaries, including a plain-language summary and detailed data summary.

Aus-InSCI Translation Project – Delphi Study
The Delphi Study used a structured process to gather and build consensus around priorities for improving outcomes for people living with SCI. The project resources include an e-Delphi plain-language summary and e-Delphi summary report, providing an accessible overview of the study and its findings alongside more detailed information.

Aus-InSCI Translation Project – Ideas to Action
Ideas to Action focuses on translating Aus-InSCI evidence and priorities into practical areas for change. The resources showcase work exploring issues including employment and pain, with an employment two-page resource, employment summary brief and pain results brief providing accessible information about key findings and opportunities for action.

Translating Research into Action

 

Together, these resources demonstrate the Aus-InSCI Translation Project's commitment to making research accessible, meaningful and useful for the SCI community. From sharing community survey findings and building consensus around priorities to developing practical briefs and communicating progress through presentations, the resources support the project's goal of turning evidence and lived experience into action and positive change.
