Summary

Brain Injury can be devastating for both patients and family members and can result in chronic difficulties in vocational, social, financial, as well as physical functioning. The occurrence of emotional and neurobehavioral challenges in individuals with brain injury is also common with research consistently showing links between these challenges and a person's overall rehabilitation outcome. In order to provide patients and caregivers greater support and teach adaptive coping strategies, the authors of this grant designed and studied a coping skills group specifically for brain injury survivors and their caregivers at the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI) called the Brain Injury Coping Skills group (BICS). BICS is a 12 session (one session per week), manualized, cognitive-behavioral treatment group designed to provide support, coping skills, and psychoeducation aimed to improve perceived self-efficacy (PSE) and emotional functioning.

Telemedicine Brain Injury Coping Skills

BICS is a 12 session (one session per week), manualized, cognitive-behavioral treatment group designed to provide support, coping skills, and psychoeducation aimed to improve perceived self-efficacy (PSE) and emotional functioning. PSE has been found to be strongly linked to social participation, increased positive regard toward the caregiving role, and was found to be the greatest contributing factor to predicting life satisfaction. For this study, the Brain Injury Coping Skills (BICS) group intervention will be administered electronically in a web-based group telemedicine platform, BICS-T. The purpose of this phase is to test the feasibility, participant training protocol, and ease of use of equipment and technology.
