Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between psychological resilience and psychogeny after traumatic brain injury.
MethodsTwenty-three patients with traumatic brain injury(TBI group) were selected, and compared with healthy volunteers with similar education, religion and ethnicity(control group).The differences of the scores of Connor-Davidson mental resilience scale(CD-RISC) and Hamilton depression rating scale(HAMD) between two groups were comapred.The correlation of psychological resilience with GCS score and total score of HAMD-24 scale in TBI group were analyzed using Pearson linear correlation analysis.
ResultsThe scores of self-improvement and optimism dimensions and total score of CD-RISC in TBI group were significantly lower than those in control group(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01), and the HAMD-24 score in TBI group was significantly higher than that in control group(P < 0.01).The total score of CD-RISC, tenacity dimension score, self-improvement dimension score and optimism dimension score were significnatly correlated with the GCS score and total score of HAMD-24 scale(P < 0.01).
ConclusionsPsychological resilience can be used as evidence-based nursing proof for patients with TBI, and provide some theoretical support for the clinical care of such patients.
