Tiivistelmä
Purpose: To systematically identify, evaluate, and synthesise the qualitative literature on the self-care behaviours, skills, and strategies performed by individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). 
Review methods: The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) meta-aggregation method was followed. The search was conducted on five databases and limited to papers published from January 2000 to March 2020. Two independent reviewers screened, extracted the data from, and assessed the methodological quality of selected papers using the JBI qualitative assessment and critical appraisal instrument. 
Results: Eleven qualitative papers were included. Three synthesised findings with a moderate level of confidence emerged from 90 findings: people with SCI perform self-directed or directed-by-other behaviours focused on their physical condition (i); and on their social life (ii); people with SCI perform self-directed behaviours focused on their emotional well-being (iii). Individuals with SCI are aware of their condition and incorporate self-care behaviours into their routine to maintain health and prevent complications. 
Conclusion: This meta-synthesis provides evidence on the self-care behaviours performed by people with SCI to prevent, control, and manage the physical, emotional, and social effects of their condition. These findings may help healthcare providers to understand the self-care process in SCI survivors and tailor educational programmes to their experiences.
