“…These approaches recognise the complex, multi-dimensional nature of brain injury and the need for custom-built solutions for successful community integration. Glenn et al (2005) in a telephone survey of 13 home-based programs for community integration, underlined the high degree of variability they encountered among both participant and program characteristics. Unfortunately, highly individualised program are considerably more expensive programs to plan and offer than larger programs that can realise some economies of scale.…”

“…According to Teasell, Bayona, Marshall, Cullen, Bayley et al (2007), only about 28% of the literature on rehabilitation for ABI consists of randomised trials. Because of the complexity of community-based research and the diverse nature of both programs and population in brain injury, these methodologies tend not to be terribly productive (Glenn, Selleck, Goldstein, & Rotman, 2005;Ragnarsson, 2006;Teasell et al, 2007).…”

There has been a dramatic increase in recent years in the literature available on community integration among people with acquired brain injuries. At the same time, however, clinicians are calling for information that has utility in the complex environment of community practice. The study was a scoping review to address the question:What is known from the existing literature regarding the best ways to promote community integration in the postacute phase of brain injury recovery?From a preliminary pool of 925 studies identified by electronic searching of 5 databases in a 15-year time window, a final set of 30 was selected for further review, referring to 25 distinct programs. This scoping review has shown that there are 5 types of programs typically offered to survivors of brain injuries to assist with community integration: supported employment, traditional rehabilitation, environmental adaptation, support development and transitional living. These 5 approaches were primarily used to address 2 aspects of community integration: traditional rehabilitation was most commonly used to promote independent living, and supported employment was the most common approach used to promote productive occupation. Themes that emerged from the review were the need for highly individualised programming, in vivo approaches, tailored supports, early intervention and a focus on participation. Methodologically, the study represents an important acknowledgment of the valuable information that is available in the literature in descriptive and small sample research.

“…Similarly, despite the documented benefits of community reintegration residential programming for persons with ABI (Willer et al, 1999), variability across these settings makes relative effectiveness difficult to quantify (Glenn, Rotman, et al, 2005; Glenn, Selleck, et al, 2005; Trudel et al, 2007). The characteristics of home-based programs also vary and thus are difficult to assess (Trudel et al, 2007).…”

The needs of individuals with moderate to severe acquired brain injury (ABI) are dynamic and long-term and require a multifaceted, comprehensive treatment approach that often includes multiple providers both within and outside of the rehabilitation setting. These authors highlight essential elements of comprehensive community reintegration programming from this multidisciplinary perspective. A narrative review of the literature from 1995 to 2020 was conducted to highlight the current underpinnings of this practice, which include uninterrupted interventional care with ongoing needs assessment of both individuals with ABI and their caregivers/families throughout the rehabilitation continuum. Although continued assessment of the efficacy of interventions is necessitated, the current literature reveals that comprehensive programs must be intensive with licensed and appropriately credentialed staff, individualized, and well co-ordinated; emphasize socialization with a community-based multidisciplinary approach to intervention; and include caregivers and families as a primary element of program intervention throughout the larger rehabilitation continuum. A program that

“…Brief education (i.e., isolated sessions) has not been particularly effective in addressing support needs of network members and survivors (Ylvisaker et al, 2005). In contrast, comprehensive programs addressing survivors and support networks have resulted in positive outcomes including increased independent living for survivors and decreased cost for caring for survivors during the first year of community integration (Feeney, Ylvisaker, Rosen, & Greene, 2001;Glenn, Selleck, Goldstein, & Rotman, 2005).…”

Acquired brain injury (ABI) affects social relationships; however, the ways social and support networks change and evolve as a result of brain injury is not well understood. This study explored ways in which survivors of ABI and members of their support networks perceive relationship changes as recovery extends into the long-term stage. Two survivors of ABI and members of their respective support networks participated in this case study integrating information from interviews, field notes, and artifacts. Inductive data analysis revealed themes of adjustment to impairments and compensations, connection changes with other people, feelings of protectiveness toward the survivor, emotional intensity, and the influence of personality traits on the recovery process. Application of these themes to intervention suggests health care professionals might benefit from shifting their focus from the survivor alone to the survivor functioning within a social support network.
