All of the interviewees mentioned using the coping categories
‘emotional support’ and ‘instrumental support’.
Use of ‘emotional support’ (n¼24) was obvious in the interviews:
‘One important thing is to stay in touch with your friends. I managed
to get back to my friends and stay friends but many don’t manage that.
I was lucky’ (female, 14 years at the time of injury). Also, the family
was mentioned by most of the interviewees (n¼21) as important for
emotional support. There were also recollections of other persons
providing emotional support, including teachers, role models, romantic
partners and other important adults, as this example about a sports
coach: ‘He came nearly every day. He was totally amazing. Every day
he brought along some of my teammates. He was always positive.
// we’re still in touch’ (male, 14 years at the time of injury). Emotional
support could also be provided by the staff in some recollections.
Some interviewees had still close contact with persons of the staff. A
few regarded the night staff as the most important persons they met
during their hospitalization and with whom they could exchange
thoughts during the night.
