“…Moreover, Corrigan, Bogner, Mysiw, Clinchot and Fugate (2001) reported that depressed mood, current social integration, employment, and prior history of substance abuse had a greater association with poor life satisfaction two years after a traumatic brain injury than did the cause of injury or functional measures at the time of discharge from rehabilitation.…”

Abstract:Objective: A longitudinal study examined the relationships of injury severity, whether the injury was accidental or was caused by an assault, and self-reported EQ-5D soon after injury, with long-term personal wellbeing among participants with a range of injury types and severity.Methods: Interviews with participants recruited in the Prospective Outcomes of Injury Study (POIS) were conducted up to four time points in the 24 months after injury. Key explanatory variables were New Injury Severity Score (NISS), whether the injury was accidental or resulted from assault, and self-reported health status (five EQ-5D questions and a similar question about cognition) reported at three months. The main outcome measure at 24 months was the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI) (PWI <70='low' wellbeing). Univariate and multivariable analyses examined relationships between explanatory variables and low PWI.Results: Even in a group of people with injuries traditionally regarded as being of mild or moderate anatomical severity, wellbeing continues to be affected for an appreciable time post-injury, with a quarter (27%) of study participants having a low level of personal wellbeing 24 months after their injury. Neither anatomical injury severity nor hospitalisation were predictive of low personal wellbeing. An increased risk of low personal wellbeing was observed in participants whose injury was caused by an intentional assault (rather than accident), and in those who reported problems three months post-injury with EQ-5D self-care, anxiety/depression or cognitive functioning. Conclusions:Identification of such individuals early after an injury is of particular importance and ensuring adequate support services are put in place that encourage re-integration back into work and social networks could help prevent on-going poor wellbeing.

“…Research suggests that following a brain injury, quality of life is more strongly related to healthy psychological functioning than is the degree of physical impairment (Corrigan et al, 2001), and therefore "successful" rehabilitation needs to work on restoring both physical and psychological functioning. A comprehensive rehabilitation program must assist clients to manage their discretionary time in order to enhance their expression, self-concept, social interaction skills and community involvement (Paulsen, 1984).…”

“…Other studies, however, have found life satisfaction to be fairly stable over time for individuals sustaining a TBI. For example, Corrigan, Bogner, Mysiw, Clinchot, and Fugate (2001) found life satisfaction was relatively stable in a 2-year longitudinal study of over 200 individuals with TBI. Other cross-sectional research has indicated that TBI, life satisfaction, and disability are not linearly related (Mailhan et al, 2005).…”

Objectives:The trajectories of life satisfaction for 609 individuals who sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) were studied. Hierarchical linear modeling analysis examined individual level growth trends over the first 5 years following TBI using gender, functional independence, age, and time to estimate life satisfaction trajectories. Measures: Participants completed the Functional Independence Measure and the Life Satisfaction Inventory at years 1, 2, 4, and 5 after sustaining TBI. Results: Participants who reported higher functional independence at year 1 also had higher life satisfaction at year 1. Participants with lower functional independence across the 5-year period had life satisfaction trajectories that decreased at significantly greater rates than the individuals with more functional independence. The life satisfaction trajectory declined for the sample, but participants reporting lower cognitive and motor functional independence had significantly greater declines in life satisfaction trajectories. Age and gender were not significant factors in predicting life satisfaction trajectories following TBI. Implications: Individuals with greater cognitive and motor impairments following TBI are likely to experience significant declines in life satisfaction within 5 years of living with TBI.

Life Satisfaction After Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract: Life satisfaction after TBI seems to be related to attaining healthy and productive lifestyles. Future research should investigate other factors that affect life satisfaction to increase prediction and appreciate all influences on subjective well being after TBI.
