According to statistics of Ministry of Health and Welfare, accidents were the sixth common causes of death in Taiwan in 2016. A total of 1200 new cases of spinal cord injury each year are caused by accidents and adverse effects. This study explored nurses’ experience of caring for patients with spinal cord injury. Hermeneutic phenomenology was used in the data analysis. The five themes emerged: dramatic changes in life, life lost control, life after catastrophic injury, life takes turns for the worse for family, and the power of rebirth. This study revealed that accidents were the primary cause of spinal cord injury, and that nurses may neglect patients’ mental and social care. Career guidance should be offered to spinal cord injury patients to ensure that they retain sociality. This study provides recommendations regarding a patient’s and their family’s post-injury adaption process. The sexual desire of patients should be further explored in future research.
