SUMMARY

The goal of this quasi-experimental study is to examine the effects of a venous thromboembolism prevention program, or 5E program, on the rates of venous thromboembolism in patients with spinal cord disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will participants receiving the 5E program have lower rates of venous thromboembolism compared to those receiving the usual care? * Will participants receiving the 5E program have lower scores of venous thromboembolism signs and symptoms compared to those receiving the usual care? * Will the average thigh and calf circumferences of participants before and after receiving the 5E program be different? Participants in the intervention group will receive the 5E program, including * Education: health education regarding venous thromboembolism prevention * Elevation: leg elevation of 10-20 degrees * Exercise: ankle exercises * Enough fluid: adequate fluid uptake * Early application of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC): IPC use within 48 hours after admission
