Identifying the principal determinants of life satisfaction following mild TBI (mTBI) may inform efforts to improve subjective well-being in this population. We examined among participants Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge Traumatic Brain Injury (TRACK-TBI) study who presented with mTBI (Glasgow Coma Scale [GCS] score = 13–15; n 1152). An L1-regularization path algorithm was used select optimal sets baseline concurrent symptom measures for prediction scores on Satisfaction Life (SWLS) at 2 weeks 3, 6, 12 months post-injury. Multi-variable linear regression models (all 744–894) were then fit evaluate associations between empirically selected predictors SWLS each follow-up visit. Results indicated that emotional post-TBI symptoms b −1.27 −0.77, all p < 0.05), anhedonia −1.59 −1.08, 0.01), pain interference −1.38 −0.89, 0.001) contributed lower follow-ups. Insomnia predicted weeks, 3 months, 6 −1.11 −0.83, ps 0.01); negative affect −0.80, 0.005).

Healthy Aging Project-Brain (HAP-B) is a novel clinical psychoeducation offering developed to encourage engagement in activities associated with successful aging. HAP-B targets sleep, socialization, physical, and cognitive activity through myth-busting, developing SMART goals, tracking behavioral change. Study aims: (1) assess feasibility/acceptability Veteran population; (2) analyze pre- post-intervention ratings examine health well-being; (3) explore associations between factors life satisfaction. The 50 participants (mean age = 70.6 years) were predominantly male-identity (88%) White (76%). Findings, based on independent t tests, revealed improvements satisfaction, emotional well-being, energy levels post-intervention. Linear regression results found higher satisfaction was lower depressive symptoms, self-efficacy. This easily implementable education intervention can result more positive self-appraisal encouraging downstream effects. Healthcare providers are well-positioned utilize classes such as promote patient-centric approaches brain health.

Military service members experience higher levels of cumulative trauma than the general population, increasing their risk mental health problems. This scoping review synthesizes evidence on protective factors that contribute to posttraumatic wellbeing among military and veterans. PubMed PsycINFO databases were searched using keywords for military/veterans, traumatic event exposure, stress, outcomes (e.g., quality life [QoL]). Article abstracts full texts screened by two reviewers, with a third reviewer resolving conflicts. Inclusion criteria consisted following: (a) empirical study, (b) military/veteran sample, (c) exposed stress disorder (PTSD) criterion A event, (d) ≥1 factor examined, (e) outcome examined. After data extraction, Bibliometric Network Analysis was used visualize topics covered. Literature searches yielded 1,341 articles. Of these, 104 articles retained after screening. studied, QoL, functioning, growth well-researched. Across intervention types (CBT-based, wave, complementary), some interventions efficacious (mainly QoL), but many had negligible or nonsignificant effects. Other social support, external resources, systemic supports understudied. Intensive those involving daily practice most effectively promoted wellbeing. Protective such as executive optimism, system-level resources should be better incorporated into PTSD care members/veterans.

Abstract Purpose Combat deployment increases exposure to potentially traumatic events. Perceived social support (PSS) may promote health and recovery from combat trauma. This systematic review meta-analysis aimed synthesize studies investigating the level of PSS associated factors among (ex-)military personnel who served in Iraq/Afghanistan conflicts. Methods Five electronic databases were searched August 2023 searches restricted beginning conflicts 2001. The search was conducted according Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A quality assessment carried out, a narrative synthesis performed. Results In total, 35 papers consisting 19,073 participants included. Of these, 31 United States (US) 23 cross-sectional. pooled mean score 54.40 (95% CI: 51.78 57.01). Samples with probable post-traumatic stress disorder had lower (44.40, 95% 39.10 49.70). Approximately half included (n = 19) investigated mental relation PSS, whilst only four explored physical health. most frequently reported risk low disorder, depression anxiety, growth unit protective factors. Conclusion Higher levels generally more positive psychosocial health-related outcomes following deployment. should be targeted interventions education programmes. Future research investigate across other countries cultures, based on lack that focused outside US.

Introduction Assault is the third most common cause of traumatic brain injury (TBI), after falls and road traffic collisions. TBI can lead to multiple long-term physical, cognitive emotional sequelae, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Intentional violence may further compound psychological trauma event, in a way that conventional outcome measures, like Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), fail capture. This study aims examine influence assault on self-reported outcomes, quality life symptoms PTSD. Methods Questionnaire were completed by 256 patients attending clinic, Quality Life Brain Injury (QOLIBRI) PTSD checklist (PCL-C). Medical records provided demographics, clinical data aetiology injury. Subjective outcomes compared between other causes. Results Of 202 analysed, 21% sustained from assault. There was no difference severity injuries non-assault groups. No relationship found or GOS. The group scored worse all questionnaires, with statistically significant differences for measures post-concussion symptoms. However, using threshold scores, prevalence assaulted not higher than non-assault. After adjusting age, ethnicity presence extra-cranial trauma, did have effect questionnaire scores. Exploratory analysis showed accidents associated significantly falls. Conclusion related functional TBI. Assaulted suffer patients, but these insignificant when adjusted demographic factors. Intentionality behind event likely more important alone. Differences are reflected Scale. information useful arranging earlier targeted review support.
