Background: Mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) is a stressful life event. Most patients recover, but a subset of patients experience somatic, cognitive and behavioural symptoms that affect health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Aims: To identify the level impact on HRQOL and to examine the associated factors of HRQOL among patients with MTBI. Methods: This was a correlational predictive study. Findings: The mean age of the participants was 33.89 years, with a range from 18 to 62 years. HRQOL was at amoderate level. In multiple regression analysis, social support (β = .419, p = .000), PCS severity (β = -.245, p = .003) and economic status (β = .167, p = .035) accounted for 36.3% of explained variance on HRQOL. Conclusions: Post-concussion symptoms after discharge should be evaluated, and patients' need for support must be thoroughly assessed.
