“…Recently, in northern of Brazil, QOL was evaluated six months after the TBI event, but the aim of this study was mainly descriptive 13 . Also, other studies assessed aspects of quality of care and QOL after discharge of overall patients with trauma 1,7 . A further relevance of the present study relies on the analysis of the predictor factors of QOL in this population and on the helpful discussion for designing future studies on QOL after TBI.…”

Objective To verify correlations between age, injury severity, length of stay (LOS), cognition, functional capacity and quality of life (QOL) six months after hospital discharge (HD) of victims of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Method 50 patients consecutively treated in a Brazilian emergency hospital were assessed at admission, HD and six months after HD. The assessment protocol consisted in Abbreviated Injury Scale, Injury Severity Score, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Revised Trauma Score (RTS), Mini Mental Test, Barthel Index and World Health Organization QOL - Brief. Results Strong negative correlation was observed between LOS and GCS and LOS and RTS. An almost maximal correlation was found between RTS and GCS and functional capacity and GCS at HD. Age and LOS were considered independent predictors of QOL. Conclusion Age and LOS are independent predictors of QOL after moderate to severe TBI.

“…This experimental study, in addition to proposing a reduction of the proportion of health problems resulting from trauma itself, crucial to the loss of functionality and independence, presents a set of other ideal characteristics that support the development and implementation of evaluation processes of the disabled patient's/family's needs, thereby allowing the early and timely planning of the most appropriate solutions, support and compensation interventions (Hoffman, et al, 2014;Siddiqui, Woanwui & Kwong Fah, 2014;Paiva, et al, 2012;Van Horn, 2009;Alves, et al, 2009;.

Trauma is now recognized internationally as a disease. According to the statistical analysis of the cases, the highest incidence is the result of traffic accidents. The World Health Organization (2004) estimates that between 20 and 50 million people are injured or disabled, each year, in traffic accidents, numbers that require an effort from the health services to provide the most appropriate response to the victims, covering all their needs, from the pre-hospital emergency phase, to physical and psychological rehabilitation, as well as social reintegration. In 2008, the Netherlands' Department of Health Organization and Trauma Centre Limburg presented a pioneering and experimental study on rehabilitation called «Supported Fast Track Multi-Trauma Rehabilitation Service», which, in addition to reducing the proportion of health problems resulting from the trauma itself, crucial in the loss of functionality and independence, presents a set of other ideal characteristics to support the development and implementation of evaluation processes of the patient's/family's needs. In this perspective, considering that nursing focuses on the promotion of the health projects that each person lives and pursues, trying to meet the basic human needs, the maximum independence and the functional adaptation to the deficits, this systematic review of the integrative literature aims to identify the nurse's position in the intermediation of complex therapeutic interventions (focused on the patient/family) and as a continuum in the coordination of the therapeutic rehabilitation process, between the patient/family and the multidisciplinary team.

“…Para maior padronização do grupo investigado, optou-se por duas restrições: sujeitos apenas do sexo masculino e maiores de 18 anos de idade, o que corresponde à grande maioria do universo dos traumatizados raquimedulares, como apontam estudos com essa população circunscrita a âmbitos menores, como um determinado hospital, uma determinada região ou mesmo uma cidade (Cf., a respeito: Siscão et al, 2007;Alves et al, 2009;Gonçalves et al, 2007;Campos, 2006;Gaspar et. al., 2003;Santos, 1989).…”
