Malec JF. Brain Injury Coping Skills Group: a preventative
intervention for patients with brain injury and their caregivers.
Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2010;91:840-8.
Objective: To determine whether training in coping strategies
will improve psychologic functioning and self-efficacy in
survivors of brain injury (BI) and caregivers.
Design: Randomized controlled pilot study with measurements
at baseline, postintervention, and 3-month follow-up.
Setting: Postacute rehabilitation clinic.
Participants: Survivors of BI (n20) and caregivers
(n20).
Interventions: The Brain Injury Coping Skills Group is a
12-session, manualized, cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT)
group providing psychoeducation, support, and coping skills
training. Effects of this preventative intervention were examined
on emotional functioning and perceived self-efficacy
(PSE).
Main Outcome Measures: Brief Symptom Inventory-18
(BSI-18) and Brain Injury Coping Skills Questionnaire.
Results: Analyses revealed that the Brain Injury Coping
Skills group showed significantly improved PSE compared
with the control group immediately posttreatment (F14.16;
P.001) and maintained this over time. PSE assessed posttreatment
predicted global distress at 3-month follow-up across
groups (–.46). No differences between treatment and control
groups were apparent on the BSI-18 posttreatment. However,
the control group showed increased emotional distress at
3-month follow-up while the Brain Injury Coping Skills group
remained stable over time.
Conclusions: Few CBT studies have included survivors of
BI and caregivers together in group treatment or included a
control group. No prior studies have examined the role of PSE
specifically. Prior intervention studies show inconsistent effects
on emotional functioning, raising questions regarding the
role of intervening variables. This study offers a new conceptualization
that PSE may moderate longer-term emotional adjustment
after brain injury. Results indicate that PSE is an
important and modifiable factor in helping persons better adjust
to BI.
