“…The results showed that there were 65.1%, 37.1%, 34.8% and 32.5% of MTBI patients complaining of fatigue respectively at 1 week, 3, 6 and 12 months after injury. These percentages were within the range reported by previous studies and seemed to indicate a higher proportion of occurrence of fatigue among MTBI patients, compared to prior observations (25). Although it seemed not reasonable to compare findings directly between studies, due to the differences in the study objectives and the methodological heterogeneity across studies, these findings consistently indicated that mental fatigue was one of the most important symptoms following MTBI.…”

Background: Although mental fatigue was well-recognized as one of the long-term consequences following mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) that required ongoing support, evidences for the optimal management remained inadequate. Aims: To investigate the temporal profile of mental fatigue during the first year after MTBI and examine the impact of perceived social support on the recovery from post-MTBI fatigue. Study Design: Observational case-control study. Methods: This study was conducted among post-MTBI patients admitted to the emergency department in a tertiary-care hospital in Sichuan, China. During four waves of assessments at 1 week, 3, 6 and 12 months, mental fatigue was assessed through Mental Fatigue Scale (MFS) whereas social support was assessed by the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS).Results: There were 65.1%, 37.1%, 34.8% and 32.5% individuals being identified as those with mental fatigue at 1 week, 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively. The scores of MFS didn't change substantially since 3 months post-injury. Compared to non-fatigued MTBI patients, those with long-lasting post-MTBI fatigue reported extremely lower level of perceived social support. Moreover, improved social support at 1 week was negatively associated with the occurrence of long-lasting fatigue. Conclusion: Sufficient social support could significantly decrease the occurrence of long-lasting mental fatigue among MTBI cases. It seemed of great importance to modify the emphasis of rehabilitation to include assessment and improvement of perceived social support at earlier stages after injury.

“…On each domain study quality was categorised as either: (i) 'criteria fulfilled'; (ii) 'criteria partly fulfilled'; (iii) 'criteria not fulfilled'; (iv) 'unclear whether criteria fulfilled'; or (v) 'criteria not applicable'. The quality of evidence for each of these key areas was summarized according to a template that was consistent with that of the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) methodology (Mollayeva et al, 2014). For each of the 6 key areas, studies are categorized into a methodological quality hierarchy of: 'high quality' (+++) when all or most of the quality criteria in an area are fulfilled; 'good quality' (++) when the majority of criteria are fulfilled;…”

Background: Chronic impairment following childhood traumatic brain injury has the potential to increase risk of negative outcomes. This highlights potential value of communitybased rehabilitation programs. Objectives: To identify research studies examining existing intervention programmes available in community-based rehabilitation to adolescents following TBI to assist with the transition back into the community. Methods: A systematic review of community-based interventions was conducted across different national contexts.All included studies involved a clinical population with TBI, aged 11 to 25 years inclusive.Risk of bias was rated for each included study. Results: Seventeen studies were identified for inclusion in the review, of these eleven distinct interventions were found. The quality of Running head: Community-based interventions for adolescents following TBI evidence was largely weak and highly variable. Conclusion: The results suggest some improvement in adolescent outcomes following community-based interventions, however higher quality evidence is needed to support specific interventions.

“…These problems may persist many years after sustaining brain injury (Milders, Fuchs, & Crawford, 2003). Further, ABI has been associated with higher reported levels of fatigue and irritability, as well as a higher risk to develop depressive symptoms (Cumming, Packer, Kramer, & English, 2016;Fann, Hart, & Schomer, 2009;Mollayeva et al, 2014;Robinson & Jorge, 2016). ).…”

“…As illustration, we will analyze data on the relationship between physical activity, fatigue, and negative affect (NA). Fatigue is a very common complaint after ABI (Cumming et al, 2016;Mollayeva et al, 2014), and has been shown to be a (prospective) risk factor for increases in negative mood (e.g., Ponsford, Schönberger, & Rajaratnam, 2015;Schönber-ger, Herrberg, & Ponsford, 2014). With respect to physical activity, a recent review of ESM studies in clinical and non-clinical populations revealed that exercise may represent a protective factor against negative mood (Pemberton & Fuller Tyszkiewicz, 2016).…”

The experience sampling method (ESM) is a structured diary method with high ecological validity, in that it accurately captures the everyday context of individuals through repeated measurements in naturalistic environments. Our main objective was to investigate the feasibility of using ESM in individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI). A second goal was to explore the usability of ESM data on a clinical level, by illustrating the interactions between person, environment, and affect. The PsyMate device provided ABI patients (N = 17) with ten signals (beeps) per day during six consecutive days. Each beep was followed by a digital questionnaire assessing mood, location, activities, social context, and physical well-being. Results demonstrated high feasibility with a 71% response rate and a 99% completion rate of the questionnaires. There were no dropouts and the method was experienced as user-friendly. Time-lagged multilevel analysis showed that higher levels of physical activity and fatigue predicted higher levels of negative affect at the same point in time, but not at later time points. This study illustrates the potential of ESM to identify complex person-environment dynamics after ABI, while generating understandable and easy to use graphical feedback.
