Cognitive and personality disturbances following severe closed head injury in young adults are associated with poor rehabilitation outcome. Yet systematic programmes for dealing these have generally not appeared. The present report briefly describes the Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Program (NRP) at Presbyterian Hospital Oklahoma City initial outcome data on eighteen patients seventeen untreated controls. Greater improvement neuropsychological functioning occurred NRP patient group...
• Measures of quality life were obtained on 985 patients with mild hypoxemia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A subsample 100 also given extensive neuropsychological personality tests. Mildly hypoxemic COPD showed impairment in quality-of-life activities. They less physical function, compared previous studies hypoxemia, but about equal psychosocial function dysphoric mood. Nonrelated health changes do not seem to account for these findings. Degree self-reported...
Abstract Sixty-four traumatic-brain-injury (TBI) patients and their relatives completed the Patient Competency Rating Scale (PCRS). As predicted, TBI consistently underestimated behavioral limitations on 10 out of 30 items used in this scale while showing no such underestimation (compared to relatives' reports) eight additional items. typically underestimate problems emotional control social interaction. Multiple regression equations were calculated for predicting patient relative ratings...
Thirty-eight traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients who underwent a neuropsychologically oriented milieu rehabilitation program were compared with an historical control group of 38 TBI did not receive this form rehabilitation. Patients matched according to admitting Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, age at injury, and gender. Educational level chronicity completely but controlled for in statistical analyses. A greater number received productive (ie, student, worker, or both) the untreated...
The emotional characteristics of head injury patients referred for neuropsychological testing were examined as a function the time since injury. Patients more than 6 months from emotionally distressed on MMPI and Katz Adjustment Scale (relatives form) compared to those tested or earlier. chronic trauma anxious depressed, confused in their thinking, socially withdrawn acute patient group. These differences functioning appeared be independent level impairment initial length coma. Premorbid...
This study examined cognitive and affective disturbances in patients with complicated (presence of space occupying lesion) vs uncomplicated (absence mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). It was predicted that the group would perform worse both domains compared to group. Participants were 28 admitted an inpatient neurorehabilitation unit TBI assessed within 40 days their injury. The (n = 14) matched on Glasgow Coma Scale score 14 normal controls BNI Screen for Higher Cerebral Functions (BNIS)....
Abstract Disturbances of self-awareness after various brain injuries are difficult to measure. A distinction between impaired versus denial disability following injury seems clinically warranted. An experimental rating scale help clinicians evaluate these two interacting disturbances is presented with interrater reliability data and an initial test construct validation.
Abstract Patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), as well patients lateralized cerebral dysfunction, completed the Patient Competency Rating Scale (PCRS) along a neuropsychological control group. Relatives or significant others for each patient also rated patient's abilities on PCRS. A previous finding that TBI overestimate social interaction and emotional skills was replicated. right versus left hemisphere lesions tended show this same pattern, while group did not....
The traditional pessimism over attempting psychotherapy with brain dysfunctional individuals is being challenged. Symbols that can guide the psychotherapeutic process these are discussed and presented. role of various art forms to enhance a better understanding patient's phenomenologic experiences also considered. Establishing sense meaning after injury becomes center point around which efforts developed.
Single night sleep recordings in closed head injury patients 6 to 59 months after revealed less stage 1 and a greater number of awakenings compared age matched controls. Neither the time spent REM nor Wechsler Memory Quotient were related complaints decreased or absent dreaming following injury. The proportion awakenings, however, showed moderate relationship certain behavioural problems.
