Study of Two Web-Based Programs to Improve Well-being in Adults with Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate two intervention programs designed to improve well-being and other lasting outcomes in adults with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury TBI. It addresses the significant changes in personal identity and perceived loss of the pre-injury self that many individuals with TBI experience. The study focuses on how these interventions may help individuals cope better and improve their self-concept over time. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will complete six weekly web-based sessions of the Signature Strengths program, which teaches participants to recognize and apply their personal strengths in daily life to enhance well-being. The other group will complete six weekly web-based sessions of a TBI Education Course based on fact sheets from the TBI Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center. Each session lasts about 60 minutes. Throughout the study, participants will complete assessments at the start, 3 months, and 6 months after the interventions. These include self-esteem scales, knowledge and use of strengths scales, and measures of character, self-concept, flourishing, quality of life, life satisfaction, mood, stress, resilience, and self-efficacy. The study will monitor how these outcomes change over time to understand the impact of the interventions on well-being after TBI.
