“…41,42 Although social support has been found to be associated with satisfaction with life, our results indicate it does not mediate the relationship between social support and PTSD. 43,44 Kong et al 42 also found that gratitude led to social support. In this case, social support mediated the association between gratitude and satisfaction with life, thru high self-esteem.…”

“…1,8 Symptoms can include headaches, mood changes, fatigue, and memory issues, as well as problems with attention and concentration, and have been shown to affect satisfaction with life; this also occurs in veteran populations. 5 Although a percentage of survivors of TBIs become disabled as a result, Davis, et al 9 cites a 2009 review by McCrea, et al, 10 which stated that-at least in the case of a single mild TBI (mTBI) without complicationsthe large majority of cases have complete recovery within days to weeks.…”

“…4 In both civilian and military populations, these estimates are often thought to be low, as TBI can be underreported and/or misdiagnosed, given some symptoms can also mimic or overlap with symptoms of other diagnoses such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). [5][6][7] TBI symptoms, presentation, and recovery can vary greatly, depending on the severity of the injury, part(s) of the brain that are injured, and type of injury sustained, among other factors. 1,8 Symptoms can include headaches, mood changes, fatigue, and memory issues, as well as problems with attention and concentration, and have been shown to affect satisfaction with life; this also occurs in veteran populations.…”

Background: Neurofeedback, a type of biofeedback, is an operant conditioning treatment that has been studied for use in the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in both civilian and military populations. In this approach, users are able to see or hear representations of data related to their own physiologic responses to triggers, such as stress or distraction, in real time and, with practice, learn to alter these responses in order to reduce symptoms and/or improve performance. Objective: This article provides a brief overview of the use of biofeedback, focusing on neurofeedback, for symptoms related to TBI, with applications for both civilian and military populations, and describes a pilot study that is currently underway looking at the effects of a commercial neurofeedback device on patients with mild-to-moderate TBIs. Conclusions: Although more research, including blinded randomized controlled studies, is needed on the use of neurofeedback for TBI, the literature suggests that this approach shows promise for treating some symptoms of TBI with this modality. With further advances in technology, including at-home use of neurofeedback devices, preliminary data suggests that TBI survivors may benefit from improved motivation for treatment and some reduction of symptoms related to attention, mood, and mindfulness, with the addition of neurofeedback to treatment.

“…In general, several variables that disabled veterans have, played an important role in disabled veterans' current satisfaction with life and hopelessness. Several studies show that there is a significant relationship between socio-demographic, occupational traits and satisfaction with life and hopelessness (Tuncay & Musabak, 2015;London, Heflin, & Wilmoth, 2011;Matarazzo et al, 2014;Mroczek & Spiro III, 2005;Seidl et al, 2015;Seligowski et al, 2012;Violanti et al, 2016).…”

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between life satisfaction and hopelessness of disabled veterans and to determine whether the dimensions of hopelessness in explaining their life satisfaction in terms of socio-demographic and professional variables of disabled veterans have a meaningful effect. Satisfaction with Life (5 items) and Beck Hopelessness (20 items) were used as scales in this study. The sample of this study is 159 disabled veterans among the disabled veterans living in Turkey. All of the disabled veterans in this study are male and their mean age is 40. 79 ± 6.84 (mean ± standard deviation). Considering correlation between all sub-scales of Beck Hopelessness, there was a significant correlation between feelings and expectations about the future domain and loss of motivation domain and also there was strong correlation with hope domain. The findings illustrate that there is a significant relationship between life satisfaction and hopelessness in disabled veterans.
