OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of self-awareness interventions that
involve a component of feedback for adults with brain injury. Systematic review. DATA SOURCES: Randomized and non-randomized studies identified by searching CINAHL, Cochrane Systematic Review Database, Embase, Medline, OTSeeker,
PsycBITE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, clinical trial registries, and reference
lists of eligible articles. RESULTS: Twelve studies of varied methodological
quality met the inclusion criteria, of which 3 were randomized controlled trials
involving a total of 62 people with brain injury of mixed aetiology. The type of
feedback intervention and outcomes assessed were heterogeneous. The pooled
estimate of improvement in self-awareness after completing a feedback
intervention was of moderate effect size (Hedges' adjusted g = 0.64; 95%
confidence interval: 0.11-1.16). CONCLUSION: Feedback interventions produced
modest improvements in self-awareness. Further research is required to determine
the effects of integrating feedback interventions into rehabilitation programmes
and the impact of this on functional outcome.
