“…Only persons with GOAT scores of at least 80 or above were included in the study. Priddy, Mattes, and Lam (1988) found that nonoriented persons with TBI (those with scores of less than 80 on the GOAT) were less able to accurately self-report than oriented persons with TBI (those with GOAT scores of 80 or higher).…”

Sixteen adults with traumatic brain injuries participated in an eight-week goal setting training program designed to assess the effects of direct involvement in goal-setting on treatment outcome. Participants were randomly assigned to either a condition designed to facilitate high involvement (HI) in goal setting or to a low involvement (LI) condition. From pretesting to posttesting, both HI and LI participants significantly improved in attaining their goals. However, at the two-month follow-up, HI participants maintained gains from pretesting, whereas LI participants regressed to their pretesting level.Goal setting and goal attainment have been of considerable interest to professionals working within the field of rehabilitation. A goal can be described as the end result of a course of action. Goal setting typically includes three major components: (a) a precise description of the desired performance, (b) the conditions under which the behavior will occur, and (c) the time frame for assessing the target behavior (Zahara & Cuvo, 1984).Psychologists and allied health professionals working with persons with chronic disabilities have emphasized the importance for the client to be directly involved in goal setting. According to Trieschmann (1974), if persons with disabilities do not set goals for themselves, goals may be set for them, resulting in less effective overall rehabilitation. Lloyd (1986) suggested that directly involving a client in the goal setting process is self-reinforcing. LaFerriere and Calsyn (1978) have asserted that adults with disabilities who are directly involved in goal setting are more likely to report greater motivation for change. Furthermore, active involvement of clients may facilitate greater levels of goal attainment as a result of a mutual refining of treatment goals (France, 1985;Wilier & Miller, 1976).

“…All methods of measuring awareness that use patient selfratings depend on patients having some capacity to reliably rate their abilities even though such ratings are likely to be overestimates. Clearly, such an assumption is not warranted for nonresponsive or acutely confused patients (Priddy et al, 1988). However, there is evidence that some oriented patients may be too cognitively impaired to produce meaningful self-ratings (Boake et al, 1995).…”

Impaired awareness of the effects of brain injury is a commonly observed and poorly understood finding in traumatic brain injury survivors. Nonetheless, impaired awareness has been identified as a major factor in determining outcome for traumatic brain injury survivors. Review of previous studies of impaired awareness in this patient population revealed a number of preliminary findings regarding the nature of this phenomenon. The present paper presents the results of 2 new studies with a total of 111 traumatic brain injury patients conducted to bring further clarity to this area. Findings confirmed and extended many results of previous investigations. Specific findings included patient overestimation of functioning as compared to family member ratings, patient report of greater physical than nonphysical impairment, greater patient–family agreement on specific ratings of patient functioning than on general ratings, greater agreement of family and clinician ratings of patient functioning with each other than with patient self-ratings, and partial disagreement of different methods of measuring impaired awareness.

Towards patient collaboration in cognitive assessment: Specificity, sensitivity, and incremental validity of self-report

1996

The present work addressed the specificity and sensitivity of patient-reported cognitive ability using both cross-sectional and longitudinal data, and the incremental validity of patient self-report in addition to knowledge gained through neuropsychological tests. We examined a sample of individuals with multiple sclerosis (N=130) as a model of chronic illness where neuropsychological deficits are relatively common. Results revealed that 64% of the sample reported noticing some problems with memory or confusion. Very high levels of reported problems were not consistent with objective testing, whereas moderate levels of noticing problems were congruent with test results. This pattern suggests a curvilinear relationship between self-reported and objective assessment. The moderate reporters seem to be attending to subtle increases in deficits over time. Results also supported the incremental validity of combining subjective and objective indices, but only when the high reporters were excluded. We conclude that patients can provide important complementary data which may promote preventive care.
