| Abstract: | Objective: To develop a model of the problems of persons with traumatic brain injury that includes multiple perspectives as well as the multi-dimensional nature of the phenomena. Design: Concept mapping, a multi-variate modelling strategy, was employed to produce an exhaustive inventory and concept map of TBI-related problems based on input from patients, family caregivers and professional providers. Results: The eight-cluster concept map included the following dimensions: social competence, intimacy, behavioural, maturity/independence, neurophysiological, mood, executive functions and non-executive functions. Conclusions: An underlying two-dimensional conceptual model of TBI problems is proposed with relevance for theory, practice and further research. |
