Experience of Occupational Participation Among Persons With Spinal Cord Injury: Life Story Analysis With Trajectory Equifinality Model (TEM)Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) in Bangladesh demonstrated inadequate skills in community integration because of limited access to health care follow-ups and unfavorable sociocultural conditions. This research focuses on occupational participation experiences among seven persons with SCI living in the community. We used trajectory equifinality model (TEM) to analyze semi-structured interview and observation data to understand human experiences in an irreversible timeline from a starting point to an endpoint. Data analysis revealed a conceptualization of four periods of occupational participation and four common types of non-linear pathways. Participants optimized shared occupational participation and used mastery over occupations to minimize the experience of occupational deprivation. These findings could assist in developing independent peer-led occupation-based health care programs with few skilled occupational therapists and limited financial resources. These 3 years of interviews and follow-up reports with participants who were selected purposively do not necessarily reflect how actual participation unfolded over time.
