The aims of this study were to: (a) determine how Twitter is used by people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and TBI organisations, (b) analyse the Twitter networks and content of tweets tagged with TBI-related hashtags, and (c) identify any challenges people with TBI encounter in using Twitter.
Mixed methods in a Twitter hashtag study.
Mixed methods in a Twitter hashtag study. Tweets tagged with TBI-related hashtags were harvested from the Twitter website over a one-month period in 2016 and analysed qualitatively and quantitatively.
The sample of 29,199 tweets included tweets sent by 893 @users, 219 of whom had a brain injury. Twitter was used to: (a) discuss health issues, (b) raise awareness of TBI, (c) talk about life after TBI, (d) talk about sport and concussion, and (e) communicate inspirational messages.
Twitter is an important platform for research and knowledge translation on TBI, and for hearing the voices of people with TBI as they express their personal views and stories of living with TBI and become more visible and influential in Twitter communities. TBI clinicians could use these narratives of people with TBI in Twitter to develop more effective and personally meaningful rehabilitation goals.

推特主题标签研究中的混合方法。
推特主题标签研究中的混合方法。2016年在一个月的时间里从推特网站收集带有TBI相关主题标签的推文，并进行定性和定量分析。
29199条推文样本包括893个用户发送的推文，其中219人患有脑损伤。推特被用于：（a）讨论健康问题，（b）提高对TBI的认识，（c）谈论TBI后的生活，（d）谈论运动和脑震荡，以及（e）传达鼓舞人心的信息。
推特是TBI研究和知识转化的重要平台，也是倾听TBI患者声音的重要平台，他们在推特上表达自己的个人观点和TBI生活故事，并在推特社区中变得更加引人注目和有影响力。TBI临床医生可以利用推特上TBI患者的这些叙述来制定更有效且对个人有意义的康复目标。
