The contribution of psychological factors to recovery after mild traumatic brain injury: Is cluster analysis a useful approach?

Abstract: Cluster analysis supported the notion that groups could be identified early post-injury based on psychological factors, with group membership associated with differing outcomes over time. Implications for clinical care providers regarding therapy targets and cases that may benefit from different intensities of intervention are discussed.

“…Illness belief schema are a key premise of the CSM; they are stored in peoples' memory and help them to understand and respond to situations (Leventhal et al, 1980). There are now several studies utilising cluster analysis to group individuals with physical illnesses according to their illness belief schema (e.g., Medley et al (2010); Lin and Heidrich (2012); and Snell et al (2014)). While these studies have not involved stroke survivors, illness belief schema have consistently been shown to predict physical and psychological outcomes, and coping/treatment adherence.…”
