Masculine role adherence and outcomes among men with traumatic brain injury

Abstract

In the current study, particular masculine role variables corresponded to different functional and psychological outcomes. Understanding these differences provides new directions for treatment and offers important information about aspects of traditional masculine roles that may enhance or hinder adjustment to injury.

Neuropsychiatric diagnosis and management of chronic sequelae of war-related mild to moderate traumatic brain injury

“…Cloute et al discuss the importance of the reconstruction of identity following injury [282]. Schopp et al described the masculine role functioning in life domains such as vocational functioning, sexual and interpersonal functioning, and personal independence [283]. Particular masculine role variables corresponded to different functional and psychological outcomes.…”

Brain Injury as the Result of Violence: A Systematic Scoping Review

“…This concern is reflected in a minority of studies which did exclude self-inflicted injuries (e.g. Esselman et al, 2004;Kim et al, 2011;Schopp et al, 2006). All gunshot-related injuries were assumed to be violencerelated (other inflicted and self-inflicted) with the exception of one study which distinguished between intentional and accidental gunshot (Schopp et al, 2006).…”

“…Esselman et al, 2004;Kim et al, 2011;Schopp et al, 2006). All gunshot-related injuries were assumed to be violencerelated (other inflicted and self-inflicted) with the exception of one study which distinguished between intentional and accidental gunshot (Schopp et al, 2006). Similarly, falls were generally treated as a discrete non-violent injury etiology with the exception of one study that recognized that some violence-related TBIs arise from pushing someone over (Bushnik, Hanks, Kreutzer, & Rosenthal, 2003).…”

“…In the most recent research regarding violence-related TBI, investigators have broadly characterized violence as arising from physical assault or gunshot (Gerhart, Mellick, & Weintraub, 2003;Hanlon, Demery, Martinovich, & Kelly, 1999;Harrison-Felix et al, 1998;Kim, Colantonio, Bayley, & Dawson, 2011;Machamer, Temkin, & Dikmen, 2003;Schopp, Good, Barker, Mazurek, & Hathaway, 2006;Wenden, Crawford, Wade, King, & Moss, 1998). Although intentionality can be difficult to determine because it infers a state of mind, the construct of other-inflicted (harm caused by others) versus self-inflicted (harm caused by oneself) is also incorporated into definitions (Gerhart et al, 2003;Harrison-Felix et al, 1998;Kim & Colantonio, 2008;Kim et al, 2011;Schopp et al, 2006;Wagner, Sasser, Hammond, same experience has been documented in families supporting relatives with violence-related TBI.…”

The Effects of Age, Ethnicity, Sexual Dysfunction, Urinary Incontinence, Masculinity, and Relationship with the Partner on the Quality of Life of Men with Prostate Cancer

“…This author also has a short version of the CMNI that includes 22 items which was used in this study. The CMNI was used to examine the conformity of masculine norms and health related behaviors with men with spinal cord injury (Schopp, Good, Mazurek, Barker, & Stucky, 2007), traumatic brain injury (Schopp, Good, Barker, Mazurek, & Hathaway, 2006) and perceived normative health behaviors (Mahalik, Burns, & Syzdek, 2007). This tool was used to measure masculinity in adult men with prostate cancer.…”
