To examine the nature, degree and time course of positive psychological change in people with severe acquired brain injury.
This preliminary exploratory study employed a cross-sectional design, comparing two matched samples, one early post-brain injury (M = 7 months) and one late post-brain injury (M = 10 years).
The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Sense of Coherence Scale-13 (SOC-13) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were administered.
The samples differed significantly with respect to reported post-traumatic growth, with the late sample reporting higher levels. HADS anxiety was significantly associated with post-traumatic growth. Both samples achieved high scores on the SOC-13.
The participants showed evidence of substantial positive psychological change, demonstrating that it is not precluded by severe brain injury. The results suggest that this develops slowly over time and requires a degree of emotional engagement.
研究重度后天性脑损伤患者积极心理变化的性质、程度和时间进程。
这项初步探索性研究采用横断面设计，比较两个匹配样本，一个是脑损伤后早期（M = 7个月），另一个是脑损伤后晚期（M = 10年）。
使用创伤后成长问卷（PTGI）、连贯感量表 - 13（SOC - 13）和医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS）进行评估。
在报告的创伤后成长方面，两个样本存在显著差异，晚期样本报告的水平更高。HADS焦虑与创伤后成长显著相关。两个样本在SOC - 13上都获得了高分。
参与者表现出显著积极心理变化的证据，表明重度脑损伤并不排除这种变化。结果表明，这种变化会随着时间缓慢发展，并且需要一定程度的情感投入。
