Activity Engagement

Background/Aims Depression, the most common psychiatric sequela of traumatic brain injury in both civilians and veterans, produces serious and wide-ranging problems. Although medication and cognitive behavioural therapy are the most common treatments, some rehabilitation approaches designed to enhance functioning and/or community reintegration may decrease depression by facilitating active engagement in life – the key component of some depression therapies. The present secondary analysis of a community reintegration-focused rehabilitation programme for veterans with traumatic brain injury posed two questions: Did the programme affect depressive symptoms? If so, was this effect mediated by engagement in activities? Methods A secondary analysis was undertaken of an intervention study of 83 former members of the United States Armed Forces (veterans) with traumatic brain injury, who were interviewed in their homes. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the short-form Centre for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale, activity engagement using an 8-item subscale derived from the Community Reintegration of Injured Service Members Scale, and physical and emotional functioning using the SF-36V. Sociodemographic, medical and military characteristics were elicited during the first interview, and medical and military characteristics were identified through a medical chart review. Results Depressive symptoms significantly decreased among the veterans in the treatment group. That effect was mediated by activity engagement. Thus, the intervention's impact on depressive symptoms was attributable to the increased activity that it produced. Conclusions Research on rehabilitation that enhances engagement in activities should examine its possible benefits for improving mood.

Cognitive Control

Abstract Cognitive control constrains retrieval processing and so restricts what comes to mind as input to the attribution system. We review evidence that older adults, patients with Alzheimer's disease, and people with traumatic brain injury exert less cognitive control during retrieval, and so are susceptible to memory misattributions in the form of dramatic levels of false remembering.
