Hope After TBI Begins with Rehabilitation

Tiffany Armstrong et al. J Christ Nurs. 2020 Jul/Sep.

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of long-term disability in the United States. Persons with TBI can experience numerous alterations in functional status, self-care ability, and cognitive, emotional, and social functioning. Understanding TBI features, treatment, and rehabilitation is imperative for nurses in every setting. Trauma, intensive and acute care, and rehabilitation nurses are an essential part of the interprofessional team that promotes optimum outcomes through specific interventions to foster hope for TBI patients and families.
