Hypothesis
The review aimed to identify self-report resiliency outcome measures for use with people after acquired brain injury.
Conclusion
There are established measures of resiliency in brain injury rehabilitation.
Supporting Evidence
- Thirty-two articles were retrieved, including nine measures of resiliency.
- All measures have acceptable to excellent psychometric properties in accordance with the COSMIN guidelines.
- Future work may explore the use of these measures in a clinical context.
Takeaway
This study looked at how people recover from brain injuries and found ways to measure their ability to bounce back.
Methodology
The COSMIN guidelines for systematic reviews were followed, and databases were searched for articles on psychometric properties of resiliency measures.
Limitations
The review could not divide measures by type of injury or time of use post-injury due to the small number of measures identified.
Participant Demographics
The review included studies on adults with acquired brain injuries, including stroke and traumatic brain injury.
