dc.description.abstractThe aim of the study was to compare the problem of somatization in patients who had spinal cord injury (SCI) with normal healthy individuals matched for a number of variables. Method: 167 hospitalized patients with spinal cord injury in a rehabilitation clinic and 167 healthy subjects participated in this study. Psychopathological symptoms were measured with the SCL-90 Symptom Inventory. Results: Results of the study showed (1) SCI creates an important problem in patients with somatic expressions, (2) SCI patients who were matched in terms of age, sex, education level and income to normal subjects had higher scores in somatization, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety and psychoticism than normal individuals. Discussion and Conclusion: This study objectively showed that use of somatic expressions in SCI patients was not an appropriate approach to evaluate their psychological symptoms. In general, research findings indicated that after controlling for some confounding variables, observed symptom differences between patients and normal individuals provided a supporting evidence for the assumptions of stage theorists.en_US
