Objective: To synthesise the qualitative research related to the processes of loss and grief experienced by adults who have sustained a moderate to severe ABI.
Method: We conducted a systematic review and thematic synthesis of the experiences of loss and grief in adults with moderate to severe ABI. Five electronic database searches (PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO and Scopus) were conducted, identifying 2434 studies, of which 25 met inclusion criteria.
Article Synopsis
- The purpose of the study was to understand how couples deal with the challenges that come when one partner has Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
- Researchers examined many articles and eventually focused on 11 studies that explored couples' experiences.
- They found that good communication, working together, and having shared stories helped couples cope better with MS as a team.
The primary aim of this study was to examine predictors of Return to Productive Roles (RTPR) in individuals with ABI following participation in a community-based RTPR intervention. One hundred and thirty participants were inducted to an ABI-specific RTPR programme. At induction, information on clinical and social demographics, previous education and employment roles were collected.
