Depression as a predictor of long-term employment outcomes among individuals with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Jul 26, 2019
Klyce DW, et al. - Researchers conducted this secondary data analysis to investigate the predictive ability of depression when considering long-term employment outcomes for people with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury, after controlling for key pre-injury and injury-related variables. At 2 and 5 years post-injury, the prevalence of employment was 40.3% and 44.5%, respectively. The experience of post-injury depression—a modifiable condition—contributed to the predictive ability of future employment results after controlling for baseline predictors variables, according to findings. Incorporating depression assessments/interventions into post-acute rehabilitation programs could encourage positive employment outcomes after traumatic brain injury.
