abstract="OBJETIVO: Analizar la capacidad de empoderamiento de un grupo de personas con lesión medular en función de la edad, el sexo, la condición funcional y la edaden la cual adquirieron la lesión. <br><br>METHODS: Ninety-four participants with a spinal cord injury (42 tetraplegics and 52 paraplegics) completed the Spanish version of the Rogers, Chamberlin, Ellison and Crean Scale (1997), designed to measure empowerment. <br><br>RESULTS: The analyses indicated higher levels of empowerment among women. Persons with tetraplegia whose injury was more longstanding also showed greater empowerment. <br><br>CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the capacity to become empowered can vary and evolve and should therefore be promoted in intervention programs.<p /> <p>Language: es</p>",
