Examining the construct validity of posttraumatic growth following moderate-severe traumatic brain injury: A mixed-methods analysis - PubMed This study provides evidence of the existence of PTG and posttraumatic depreciation in a sample of individuals with moderate-severe TBI, supporting its construct validity using mixed-methods data.

Excited to see this work finally out! My lab listened to life stories of 40 individuals to validate posttraumatic growth following moderate-severe traumatic brain injury. An amazing foundation for continued research into thriving after #TBI

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Audience members sit in a hotel conference room facing Dr. Agtarap, who stands at a podium at the front. Next to her is a presentation screen presenting the title of her talk: "Associations between posttraumatic growth and depreciation, environmental limitations, and psychosocial outcomes following moderate-severe TBI: Findings from a mixed-methods pilot study".

The implications slide from Dr. Agtarap's talk ,A close-up of Dr. Agtarap, presenting findings from her talk, "Associations between posttraumatic growth and depreciation, environmental limitations, and psychosocial outcomes following moderate-severe TBI: Findings from a mixed-methods pilot study". In it, Dr. Agtarap discusses the relationship between environmental barriers, at what systems-level they occur (based on Brofenbrenner's Ecological Systems model), and the associated psychosocial outcomes, including posttraumatic growth.

Got to finally share mixed-methods findings of a favorite study of mine: exploring environmental barriers to posttraumatic growth (i.e. positive change after traumatic events) following traumatic brain injury. So excited to continue this work with DoD TBI PHRP funding later this year.

This was a fascinating read!

Working on this month’s Psychology Today post. I’m excerpting #BRAININJURY, TRAUMA, AND GRIEF because I’ll be attending a writer’s conference next week and am so damn tired already. Excerpts take less energy than writing completely new material. Plus I can get it done in 1 day.🤞🙂 #WritingCommunity
