OBJECTIVE: To examine resilience at 3 months after traumatic brain injury (TBI).
DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis of an ongoing observational cohort. SETTING:
Five inpatient rehabilitation centers, with 3-month follow-up conducted primarily
by telephone. PARTICIPANTS: Persons with TBI (N=160) enrolled in the resilience
module of the TBI Model System study with 3-month follow-up completed.
INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Connor-Davidson Resilience
Scale. RESULTS: Resilience scores were lower than those of the general
population. A multivariable regression model, adjusting for other predictors,
showed that higher education, absence of preinjury substance abuse, and less
anxiety at follow-up were significantly related to greater resilience.
CONCLUSIONS: Analysis suggests that lack of resilience may be an issue for some
individuals after moderate to severe TBI. Identifying persons most likely at risk
for low resilience may be useful in planning clinical interventions.
