“…As it known, TBI is a common yet devastating disease that affects people of all ages, predominantly the young and the elderly. 16 TBI is a major public health problem, then both genders are affected, but knowledge about female TBI is little. Females had higher incidence of TBI and death than males in elderly age group.…”

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the main causes of death and disability in both sex, young and old age group population in different countries. This study aimed to estimate effects of sex, age group and intensity level of TBI in neurocognitive dysfunction. Methods: The study was done using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) to estimate cognitive dysfunction that directed presence to the emergency department center with medical cares in the Zahedan city. Individuals were deliberated eligible if they were 18 years of age or older. This investigation covered 6-months. Results: The sample study estimated 85 patients, 73% males with 27% females. The mean age patients reported 32.5 years (range 18-66 year) and SD (12.924) with 95% CI. Two-way between groups analysis of variance test was used to assess the impacts of sex, age and level of TBI as measured by neurocognitive dysfunction. The interaction effect between sex, age group and level of TBI was statistically significant F (0, 85) = 3.96, P = 0.01 however, the effect size was medium (partial eta squared = 0.54). Conclusion: This study supported research hypothesis that sex, age group and severity level of TBI show greater effect in neurocognitive dysfunction. In addition, the greatest amount of improvement in disability was observed among the male youngest group of survivors. These results advocate TBI survivors, especially older patients, may be candidates for neuroprotective therapies after TBI.

This study investigated the vocational rehabilitation experiences of 29 clients, up to 14 years post brain injury. Data obtained from participant interviews were thematically analysed by employment pathway (‘return to pre-injury employment’, ‘job seeking’ and ‘not worked since injury’). A total of nine themes were identified. Across all pathways, participants identified the importance of working, impact of injury and their own determination. The content for the remaining themes (understanding, adjustment, access, support, disclosure of injury, intervention) varied by pathway, reflecting the differing perspectives arising from integrating back into a familiar workplace versus seeking new employment. In conclusion, programme approaches to vocational rehabilitation need to be tailored to the individual circumstances, opportunities and support needs of people with brain injury pursuing these different pathways.

Purpose: Return to work (RTW) is a major life participation metric used for persons with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have clinical expertise in the cognitive-communication aspects of TBI. This clinical focus article aims to support the clinical practice of SLPs by summarizing key interprofessional vocational rehabilitation (VR) models and illustrating the role of the SLP throughout the RTW process with a case study. Method: This clinical focus article was written by the Academy of Neurologic Communication Disorders and Sciences TBI Research Group along with a VR expert. Authors engaged in deliberative, agenda-based discussions beginning with a literature review based on previous systematic studies. Discussions explored relevant VR and SLP practices. Results: This clinical focus article presents key VR models in parallel with SLP assessment and treatment to illustrate best practice patterns in an RTW field with a dearth of SLP-specific literature. We summarize general VR approaches and four evidence-supported VR models for adults with TBI. We highlight how a model of interprofessional assessment can assist with planning and communication of important work-related concerns. We illustrate how the chronological model of work return can assist with developing goals and planning treatment. Conclusions: SLPs play an important role in identifying, managing, and collaborating with an RTW team following TBI. A working knowledge of VR models can assist with improving the dialogue between SLPs and VR professionals and can inform practice when working with persons with TBI who have work return as a goal.
