Toward an Explanatory Model of Social Participation for Adults With Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract

Resiliency factors constitute a target for research and intervention for this population.

Influence of Self-Efficacy and Coping on Quality of Life and Social Participation After Acquired Brain Injury: A 1-Year Follow-Up Study

“…In the chronic stage after brain injury, this positive association was already known. 6,7,9 Furthermore, increasing self-efficacy seemed to mitigate the negative influence of emotion-oriented coping on health-related QOL, suggesting that high self-efficacy has a protective effect. This stress-buffering effect of high self-efficacy is well documented in healthy people 33 and patients with cancer.…”

“…6 As a general concept, higher general self-efficacy has been related to better QOL and social participation in TBI. [7][8][9] However, because all studies were conducted cross-sectionally in the chronic stage after TBI, one cannot determine whether self-efficacy in the early stage after brain injury is predictive for better long-term QOL and social participation.…”

Masculine role adherence and outcomes among men with traumatic brain injury

“…Previous studies have shown that personal factors such as perceived self-efficacy, determination, will, motivation and 'dynamism' are related to positive outcomes following TBI [38,39]. These factors are specifically related to increased social participation (including recreation, inter-personal involvement and community engagement) [38] and higher employment rates [39]. The results of the current study were consistent with previous findings, in that men who conformed to the masculine role of winning and pursuit of status also demonstrated better functional outcomes, as measured by the FIM.…”

The Handbook of Salutogenesis

“…Salutogenesis calls also for a focus on resources, skills, capabilities, strengths, and assets at different levels (e.g., people, community, and society; Dumont, Gervais, Fougeyrollas, & Bertrand, 2004;Roy & O'Neill, 2012). Following this thought, Lindström and Eriksson (2008) introduced a salutogenic perspective under a salutogenic umbrella where all theories and/or concepts in relation with positive health were gathered.…”
