“…Caregivers may find the situation emotionally demanding. Therefore, people with TBI and their significant others should receive support in order to maintain a positive relationship with one another and offset the negative consequences of TBI (Foster et al 2012;Rietdijk, Togher, and Power 2012).…”

The neurological consequences following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) greatly affect the person's daily life as well as that of the supporting relatives who often feel powerless. The social integration of people suffering from TBI is a long-term situation. TBI often involves communication and behavioural disorders that become limitations to social participation. In general, interventions focus on reducing the individual's difficulties and do not consider strengthening their potential. Leisure, notably arts, has been found to assist in adapting to the loss of autonomy and enhancing social reintegration. This paper proposes a new approach focused on strengthening potential through artistic recreational activities as a medium for improving communication between a person with a TBI and his/her relative. A pre-experimental study was conducted with a group of dyads of persons with TBI and their significant other (n 05 dyads). Unexpected quantitative changes were found on the Perception of Relationship and Activities Scale, more specifically on the sharing pleasant events sub-scale which decreased for the significant other group, as well as decreases on the feelings, values and feasibility of this sub-scale. However, the qualitative results revealed interesting impacts of the programme on self-realization and relationships. These data will allow us to further test the programme in an experimental study.

“…However, a major focus of clinical practice and research relating to rehabilitation has been the active involvement of the patient and their family within the rehabilitation team [6][7][8][9][10]. Person-centred care that fosters strengths-based, trustful and positive partnerships between the older person, their family/ support network and health professionals has been shown to be crucial to patients reaching the optimal outcomes from rehabilitation [11][12][13].…”

Nurses' engagement with older adults in rehabilitation settings is likely to be substantial, placing them as key members of the rehabilitation team. Nurses make a pivotal contribution to inpatient rehabilitation based on specialised knowledge and skills but this contribution is not well understood. Opportunities are likely, at times when allied health professionals are less often present, e.g. evenings and weekends, for registered nurses to more intentionally overlap rehabilitation activities with other care requirements.

“…Despite the consensus that families should be involved in the rehabilitation process to optimize outcomes and that key strategies to facilitate this involvement should be put in place (Foster et al, 2012;Shaw, Chan, & Lam, 1997), few studies have examined the families' experiences of involvement. Keenan and Joseph (2010) examined family involvement in critical and acute care and aimed to identify the changing needs of family members over time.…”

“…For the purpose of this study, we have combined Foster et al (2012) and Eggenberger and Nelms' (2007) definitions of "family". More specifically, the definition of family we use honors the premise that the family social system may extend beyond the traditional view and will broadly include all those who influence recovery, including family members, friends, and significant others who may take on a care giving role.…”
