“…It is particularly useful in the work context providing a general indicating of distress and/or potential problems (Lesage, Martens-Resende, Deschamps, & Berjot, 2011). Additionally, the GHQ-12 is frequently used in traumatic stress research (Joseph, Yule, & Williams, 1993), as well as large community surveys (Goldberg, 1972;McKenzie et al, 2004;Montazeri, Baradaran, Omidvari, Azin, et al, 2005). It is generally found to have good reliability although its factor structure remains under debate, with inconsistent findings partly due to differing statistical methods.…”

“…Trauma research has traditionally focused on the negative symptoms resulting from trauma with much of the literature detailing the severity and chronicity of symptoms and the development of psychological disorders (e.g., Joseph et al, 1993). Although this research has greatly increased our understanding of the negative impact of trauma, the hermeneutic dimensions of experience, and thus the impact on the individual's identity and sense of self, have been largely overlooked.…”

Research design:Longitudinal study. Method and Procedure:Long-term follow-up of a group of TBI survivors recruited between 1991-1995. In 2004, 240 of the 563 original participants were invited to take part in a follow-up study. At follow-up, survivors completed the Positive Changes in Outlook Questionnaire (CiOP) along with a structured interview/questionnaire which permitted a Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOSE) score to be assigned. Results:165 TBI survivors completed both questionnaire and CiOP.103(62%) participants had suffered severe TBI, 24(15%) moderate and 38(23%) mild. Mean length of follow-up was 11.5 years post-injury (range 9-25 years). On the GOSE at follow-up, 43(26%) had severe disability; 72(44%) moderate disability;and 50(30%) good recovery. Scores on the CiOP indicated positive psychological growth in over half of the sample, as evidenced by agreement with items such as "I don't take life for granted anymore" and "I value my relationships much more now".CiOP total scores did not correlate with any injury or early outcome variables.However, at long-term follow-up there was a negative correlation between positive growth and anxiety and depression.4 Conclusion:Survivors of mild, moderate and severe TBI showed evidence of long-term positive changes in outlook.
