Resilience and Symptom Reporting Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Military Service Members

Type
Summary

Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) often leads to post-concussional disorders and posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) among military Service members. The study examined whether resilience may serve as a protective factor. Results indicated that participants who had higher levels of resilience were less likely to self-report postconcussional disorders and PTSD symptoms following mild TBI.
