%X Objective. To describe the meaning given by
adolescents and young adults to the changes in their
bodies and corporality after a spinal cord injury.
Methods. Qualitative study based on symbolic
interactionism in which 12 adolescents and young
adults, who had suffered spinal cord injury 6 months
or more before, participated. The information was
recollected through a series of in-depth interviews and
field journals. The guidelines proposed by Corbin and
Strauss were followed for the process of codification
and categorization of the data. Results. Four
categories were identified that describe the meanings
given by participants to the changes in their bodies
and corporality: Transformation of self-image, living
with contradictions in the relationships with others,
withstanding the burden of a disability and adapting
to the new conditions.
