Participation following traumatic brain injury in rural, regional and remote areas

该项目的成果将通过更直接地瞄准最终目标：参与——让人们重返家庭、工作和社区角色，从而改善脑损伤患者的康复方案和更好的治疗效果，特别是在区域、农村和偏远地区。参与与改善社会网络、福祉、独立性和生活质量有关，因此减少了卫生保健负担和成本，人们可以过上更有成效的生活。该项目将重点放在农村地区，这将有利于农村卫生保健，也有助于大都市脑损伤专科服务机构了解来自丛林地区的人所面临的具体康复问题。

The results of this project will lead to improved rehabilitation programs and better outcomes for people with brain injury, especially in regional, rural and remote areas, by targeting the ultimate goal more directly: participation - getting people back into their home, work and community roles. Participation is associated with improved social networks, wellbeing, independence and quality of life, so health care burdens and costs are reduced, and people can lead more productive lives. The project's emphasis on country areas will benefit rural health care, and also help specialist metropolitan brain injury services to understand the specific rehabilitation issues facing people from the bush.
