Description

TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) results from head injuries in 1.4 million cases each year. There are three categories of TBI: mild, moderate, and severe. There are many ways to sustain a TBI. Some of the most common ways to acquire a TBI are falls, motor vehicle accidents, or bicycle accidents. The purpose of this research was to understand a family's experience with having a child with TBI. One mother of a child with TBI was interviewed and the interview was transcribed verbatim. Some question that were asked were; how has your family dealt with the disorder, what changes have you seen your son go through since his diagnosis, and do you think that having a TBI will affect his future lifestyle? Using qualitative inquiry, the transcript was coded, categories were formed, patterns emerged, and an assertion was made.
