Introduction: People who sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) may have to live with permanent sequelae such as mental health problems, cognitive impairments, and poor social participation. The strengths-based approach (SBA) of case management has a number of positive impacts such as greater community integration but it has never been implemented for persons with TBI. To support its successful implementation with this population, it is essential to gain understanding of how the key components of the intervention are perceived within the organization applying the approach.

A community-based organisation working with people living with TBI is in the process of adapting this approach to implement it in their organisation. No studies explored an SBA implementation with this population.

Methods: Relevant articles were searched using keywords in Embase and MEDLINE. Study characteristics, type of telehealth interventions and technology involved, as well as facilitators and barriers to their use, were extracted from selected articles.
Article Synopsis
- * It will include primary studies that focus on various qualitative methodologies and will consider studies published in English or French without date restrictions.
- * A comprehensive keyword search will be conducted across multiple databases, with rigorous methods for study selection, quality assessment, and data synthesis to ensure reliable findings.
Objectives: 1) To get an insight into the experience of aging with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and 2) explore intervention avenues perceived as promising for the social participation of this population.
Method: Through an exploratory descriptive study, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with aging TBI survivors recruited in a nonprofit community organization whose mission is to support the social participation of people living with TBI. Thematic analysis was done on qualitative data, using a hybrid approach of deductive and inductive analysis.
Objectives: This systematic review documents the content and the quality of the psychometric evidence concerning the utilization of the Community Integration Questionnaire for individuals living with a disability other than a traumatic brain injury.
Data Sources: Medline, Embase, CINAHL, OTseeker and PsycINFO (searched from inception to June 2019).
Review Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were used for conducting and reporting this review.
Background.: Although community integration (CI) is the ultimate goal of rehabilitation, it is rarely achieved in clinical settings.
