This result seems in contrast with a previous TBI study by Rasmussen and Berntsen (2014) reporting a decline in episodic details, but not in semantic details for past and future events, thus, suggesting that the semantic component of SMS was spared in TBI.…”

“…The cerebral injuries are multiple and not homogeneous in TBI (Bigler, 2001) but they frequently concern frontal regions (Eierud et al, 2014) and may also concern hippocampal dysfunction ( Ariza et al, 2006). Several studies have demonstrated AM dysfunction after TBI (Carlesimo et al, 1998;Knight and O'Hagan, 2009) characterized by an overgeneralization of recent and remote AMs and associated with personality changes (Bach and David, 2006;Nochi, 1998;Tyerman and Humphrey, 1984). The deficit of episodic AM in TBI has been linked to the disruption of search and construction processes mediated by executive functions .…”

“…[7,49,50] This experience may be directly related to injury-related impairments, including experience of "loss of connection between one's mind and body", [51] which negatively impact on an individual's sense of agency. [8,39,42,46] These findings point to the potential role of decision-making participation in providing a means to overcome the loss of autonomy described by adults with TBI.…”

Purpose: Although adults who sustain a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) require support to make decisions in their lives, little is known about their experience of this process. The aim of this study was to explore how participation in decision making contributes to self-conceptualization in adults with severe TBI. Method: We used constructivist grounded theory methods. Data included 20 in-depth interviews with adults with severe TBI. Through a process of constant comparison, analysis involved open and focused coding until clear categories emerged and data saturation was achieved. Results: Self-conceptualization emerged as a complex and multifaceted process, as individuals with TBI aimed to reestablish a sense of autonomy. We describe a recursive relationship in which decision-making participation assists the dynamic construction of self, and self-concept contributes to the experience of making decisions. The role of an individual's social support network in acting as a bridge between participation and self-conceptualization is presented. Conclusions: Findings emphasize that contributing to decisions about one's own goals across a range of life areas can reinforce a positive self-concept. It is vital that supporters understand that participation in decision making provides a pathway to conceptualizing self and aim to maximize the person's participation in the decision-making process. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPrevious research has identified that the experience of sustaining TBI has a significant impact on a person's conceptualization of self. This study identified that decision-making experiences play an important role in the ongoing process of self-conceptualization after injury. Decision-making experiences can reinforce a person's self-concept or lead them to revise (positively or negatively) their sense of self. By maximizing the person's decision-making participation, those around them can support them to develop positive self-attributes and contribute to shaping their future goals. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Ten volunteer groups were included in the study and 88 volunteers. The volunteers were interviewed while carrying out their practical activities; in addition the researchers asked volunteers to complete an Emotional State Scale (ESS) questionnaire adapted from the Osgood Semantic Differential Scale (Tyerman andHumphrey 1984 andused by Townsend andEbden 2006) before and after their volunteering activities. The scale indicates changes in emotional state across twelve parameters: happy/unhappy, bored/interested, worthy/worthless, helpless/in control, satisfied/dissatisfied, irritated/calm, incapable/skilful, withdrawn/talkative, in pain/ pain free, worried/relaxed, healthy/unhealthy and trusting/cautious.…”

‘Doing Something Positive’: Volunteers’ Experiences of the Well-Being Benefits Derived from Practical Conservation Activities in Nature

2010

There is a strong tradition in Britain of volunteering involving a wide range of activities and organisations. Increasingly volunteering is seen as a way of benefiting health and building sustainable communities. In a study in 2007 we aimed to address the research questions: what are the motivations for, barriers to, and benefits of formal practical environmental volunteering for those individuals involved? Qualitative and quantitative data collection was undertaken while spending a day each with ten volunteer groups as they undertook their practical conservation activities. In this paper we focus primarily on the physical, mental and social well-being benefits that volunteers derived from their activities. Our research involved 88 people volunteering regularly in a range of places from scenic natural landscapes to urban green spaces in northern England and southern Scotland. Respondents described a range of benefits they gained from their involvement including improved fitness, keeping alert, meeting others and reducing stress levels. We suggest that practical environmental volunteering has flexibility in the types of activity available and the time scale in which activities are undertaken and therefore can provide a range of physical, social and mental well-being benefits to people with very differing abilities and from different socio-economic backgrounds.Résumé la Grande-Bretagne bénéficie d'une forte tradition du bénévolat impliquant un large éventail d'activités et d'organisations. Le bénévolat est de plus en plus considéré comme un moyen de profiter à la santé et de créer des communautés durables. Dans une étude de 2007, nous avons cherché à répondre aux questions de recherche: quelles sont les motivations, les obstacles et les bénéfices de la pratique formelle du bénévolat environnemental pour les personnes concernées? Une collecte de données qualitatives et quantitatives a été effectuée au cours d'une journée passée avec dix groupes de bénévoles tandis qu'ils menaient leurs activités concrètes de conservation. Dans cette étude, nous mettons principalement en évidence les bienfaits du bien-être sur le plan physique, mental et social que les bénévoles retirent de leurs activités. Notre recherche a concerné 88 bénévoles réguliers dans différents lieux, allant des paysages naturels pittoresques aux espaces verts urbains, situés dans le nord de l'Angleterre et le sud de l'É cosse. Les personnes interrogées ont décrit divers bienfaits qu'elles retiraient de leur participation, notamment une meilleure condition physique, le maintien de la vigilance, les rencontres avec les autres personnes et la réduction des niveaux de stress. Nous avançons que la pratique du bénévolat environnemental permet une certaine flexibilité dans les types d'activités proposées et dans les délais pour réaliser les activités, et qu'elle peut donc apporter divers bienfaits en termes de bien-être sur le plan physique, mental et social pour des personnes aux compétences très différentes, issues de milieux socioéconomiques variées.Zusammenf...
