The relationship between post-traumatic growth and return to work following mild traumatic brain injury.

CONCLUSIONS: Results of this study suggest that there is evidence for the development of PTG among individuals with mTBI. These findings have important implications for rehabilitation planning, individual and family adjustment, and the prediction of long-term outcome as it pertains to return to work in particular. Implications for Rehabilitation Return to work is an integral component of rehabilitation following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and should not be overlooked. Results of this study indicate that post-traumatic growth (PTG) can be used to inform intervention approaches that seek to promote growth and resiliency post-injury. Informing patients about the prospects of a positive post-injury recovery trajectory could help manage the individual's expectations of recovery. PMID: 29852778 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
