Feasibility of a cognitive rehabilitation program for individuals with mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury: Participants’ engagement and satisfaction
Purpose: To assess the feasibility of recruitment procedures and delivery of a Norwegian adaptation of a manualized cognitive intervention to a civilian sample with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Materials and methods: Six individuals received a 10-week group-based intervention (Compensatory Cognitiv...

| description | Purpose: To assess the feasibility of recruitment procedures and delivery of a Norwegian adaptation of a manualized cognitive intervention to a civilian sample with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Materials and methods: Six individuals received a 10-week group-based intervention (Compensatory Cognitive Training, CCT) targeting post-concussive symptom management and cognitive symptoms. Participant engagement (i.e. attendance, level of participation, ability to learn and apply strategies, and homework completion) and satisfaction were assessed by the Therapist Checklist and CCT Feedback Form. Results: All participants had a diagnosis of concussion, were enrolled on average 4 months post-injury, and were sick-listed at a range of 70–100% at the time of inclusion. Attendance across CCT sessions was 97%. Eight out of nine topics in the CCT-intervention received a rating above 3.5 on a 5-point scale (i.e. towards very helpful). The items that received the highest mean ratings were information about TBI and post-concussive symptoms, and strategies targeting fatigue, prospective memory, and memory and learning. All participants were rated as participating fully (3/6) or moderately (3/6), and most participants (5/6) attempted to apply the trained skills to real-life situations. Conclusions: The results support the feasibility of a Norwegian adaptation of the intervention for a civilian sample with TBI. |
