Objectives: The objective of this scoping review is to examine the extent, range, and nature literature targeting health-care professionals on prevalence outcome intimate partner violence (IPV)-related traumatic brain injury (TBI). purpose gain an understanding prevalence, investigate screening tool use, generate IPV/TBI-specific support recommendations, identify suggestions for future research. Method: was guided by Arksey O’Malley’s five stages conducting a review. A comprehensive search...
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a result of intimate partner violence (IPV) is significant health concern; yet, little known about the intersection between two. Existing research scarce, limiting ability care providers to develop effective supports. This pilot project surveyed IPV support community in Toronto, Canada understand degree existing TBI-specific knowledge and relevant services available among these service seek bridge divide practice by developing national...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurring during intimate partner violence (IPV) is a largely unrecognized but significant public health crisis. One in 3 women will experience IPV their lifetime, up to 75% of whom sustain TBI as result. This article reports on the systems-level findings from national summit address barriers, needs, and priorities related healthcare support services for survivors IPV-TBI.(1) To identify key facilitators, barriers care presenting with TBI; (2) cocreate ideas...
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with risk for multi-etiology brain injury (BI), including repetitive head impacts, isolated traumatic injuries (TBI), and anoxic/hypoxic secondary to nonfatal strangulation (NFS). IPV-related are often unreported, but evidence suggests that survivors more likely report when asked directly. There currently no validated tools screening of related IPV meet World Health Organization guidelines this population. Here, we describe measure development...
Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects up to 1 in 3 women over their lifetime and has intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although most injuries are head, face, neck, intersection of IPV brain injury (BI) remains largely unrecognized. This article reports on unexplored COVID-19–related impacts service providers survivors IPV/BI. Objectives: To explore impact pandemic providers. Participants: Purposeful sampling through team's national Knowledge-to-Practice (K2P) network...
Research shows that gender influences men's health-related beliefs and behaviours - including those within the context of traumatic brain injury (TBI) making it a factor should be considered when designing implementing interventions for this population. To incorporate an understanding such gendered in future educational materials men with TBI, as well their caregivers clinicians, qualitative study was informed by social constructionism, aimed to explore how is related post-TBI perceptions...
Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore rehabilitation clinicians' understanding how sex and gender facilitate or hinder care provided patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Introduction The initiation and translation of sex-sensitive gender-sensitive research programmes into clinically useful considerations for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been difficult. Clinical frameworks are currently not specific according to sex gender, despite evidence that these constructs influence the incidence, course outcome TBI. present protocol outlines a strategy programme, supported by Canadian Institutes Health Research (CIHR) Institute Gender Health, which...
Abstract Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious consequence of intimate partner violence (IPV) that often overlooked. In the case Indigenous women in Canada challenges are broad, multidimensional, and left almost entirely unexplored. Given elevated rates experienced by exposed to IPV increased levels physical assault among Canada, it important understand unique experiences service needs these women. This study sought identify barriers facilitating factors for TBI-sensitive...
Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global public health crisis, with physical leaving IPV survivors at high risk of brain injury (BI). Both BI and have significant physical, psychological, cognitive, social impacts, including mental concerns, yet there limited exploration survivors’ experiences health. This study aimed to explore the BI- health-related needs from perspectives service providers objective developing knowledge translation materials raise awareness support in...
Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global public health crisis. Often repetitive and occurring over prolonged periods of time, IPV puts survivors at high risk brain injury (BI). Mental concerns are highly prevalent both among individuals who have experienced those BI, yet the interrelatedness complexity these three challenges when together poorly understood. This qualitative study explored care provision for with BI (IPV-BI) mental from perspectives providers. Methods...
Purpose Research shows that patients’ perceptions of themselves and others, in addition to their understanding the concept gender, changes after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Little is known about gendered experiences TBI care delivery. This study aims explore gender through life interactions between adult patients with informal caregivers.Materials Methods Seven mild moderate-severe eight caregivers were interviewed. Transcripts coded analysed according Braun Clarke’s thematic analysis. The...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcomes are dependent on patients' biological sex (e.g., hormone levels) and sociocultural gender norms, responsibilities). Informal caregivers additionally experience disruptions to identity roles post-TBI. However, information this topic remains largely unavailable patients caregivers.This study aimed determine the effectiveness of a one-time educational intervention influences in TBI for informal caregivers.We conducted pilot pre-test/post-test randomized...
We present the findings from a one-day, multidisciplinary meeting to gather feedback for an integrated knowledge translation research project addressing integration of health services and supports individuals with traumatic brain injury, mental health, and/or addictions; especially those who experience homelessness/vulnerably housed, intersect criminal justice system, are survivors intimate partner violence. This brought together persons lived experience, service providers, decision makers,...
