“…[10,11] Young people are at particular risk of injury, with a peak in occurrence among those aged 15 to 24-years old. [12][13][14] TBI is, therefore, often a source of lifelong disability, [15] with resulting economic and social costs to the individual, family, and community. Individuals who have sustained TBI frequently experience changes in their physical, cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and/or psychosocial functioning, leading to longer-term disability.…”

Purpose: Although adults who sustain a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) require support to make decisions in their lives, little is known about their experience of this process. The aim of this study was to explore how participation in decision making contributes to self-conceptualization in adults with severe TBI. Method: We used constructivist grounded theory methods. Data included 20 in-depth interviews with adults with severe TBI. Through a process of constant comparison, analysis involved open and focused coding until clear categories emerged and data saturation was achieved. Results: Self-conceptualization emerged as a complex and multifaceted process, as individuals with TBI aimed to reestablish a sense of autonomy. We describe a recursive relationship in which decision-making participation assists the dynamic construction of self, and self-concept contributes to the experience of making decisions. The role of an individual's social support network in acting as a bridge between participation and self-conceptualization is presented. Conclusions: Findings emphasize that contributing to decisions about one's own goals across a range of life areas can reinforce a positive self-concept. It is vital that supporters understand that participation in decision making provides a pathway to conceptualizing self and aim to maximize the person's participation in the decision-making process. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPrevious research has identified that the experience of sustaining TBI has a significant impact on a person's conceptualization of self. This study identified that decision-making experiences play an important role in the ongoing process of self-conceptualization after injury. Decision-making experiences can reinforce a person's self-concept or lead them to revise (positively or negatively) their sense of self. By maximizing the person's decision-making participation, those around them can support them to develop positive self-attributes and contribute to shaping their future goals. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…In India every year there is an increase in number of patients with Traumatic Brain Injury both in urban and rural areas. [1][2][3][4][5] A study from tertiary care institute has reported that the occurrence of TBI is approximately 42.5% in rural and 57.5% in urban area. 6 Traumatic Brain Injury is the major cause of onethird to one-half of all deaths due to trauma and the leading cause of disability in people below age of 40, severely disabling 15-20 per lakh populations every year.…”

“…1 In the UK, falls and road traffic accidents are the most common causes of injury 2 and GPs are often required to provide psychological support, manage, and coordinate follow up care. Patients with mild head trauma may only present to primary care 3 expecting to receive appropriate management and reassurance that their condition is self-limiting. This edition of the BJGP includes two papers highlighting the needs of patients and the challenges facing primary care physicians in following up injuries with both physical and psychological impacts.…”

“…4 With regards to brain injury, the term 'mild' described patients post head injury who had a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 13-15 or post traumatic amnesia within 24 hours of injury, 3 however there is growing evidence that despite being labelled 'mild' the immediate effects of mTBI may have longer term consequences. In this study, 341 patients who had sustained an mTBI participated in comprehensive follow up assessments at regular intervals throughout the first year following injury.…”
