Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can negatively affect quality of life and social functioning. This study examined the relationship between PTSD and social participation in a cohort of veterans and service members (V/SM). Participants included 242 adults enrolled in the Veterans Affairs Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (VA TBIMS) multicenter study. Social participation was measured with the Participation Assessment with Recombined Tools-Objective. PTSD symptoms were assessed with the PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version at admission, and TBI severity was determined with the Glasgow Coma Scale. Neither TBI severity nor PTSD were associated with lower social participation at 1-year post-TBI. Marital status was the only significant predictor of social participation within this sample of V/SM with primarily moderate to severe TBI. Married V/SM with TBI reported more social participation which could lead to better rehabilitation outcomes. Unmarried V/SM may need more assistance with engagement in social activities, which can be a rehabilitation treatment target.
