Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. Generic quality of life: 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)<br> 2. Functional health status: Functional Independence Measure (FIM)<br><br> Outcome measures are collected at baseline (i.e. as soon as possible after trauma), 3, 6, 9 and 12 months post-trauma, i.e. T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4.<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. Extent to which individual ADL treatment goals are met: Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)<br> 2. Anxiety and depression: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)<br> 3. Cognitive functioning: Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)<br><br> Next to that costs will be assessed using the PRODISQ, a cost questionnaire and data from the hospital databases. Outcome measures are collected at baseline (i.e. as soon as possible after trauma), 3, 6, 9 and 12 months post-trauma, i.e. T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4.<br><br> In studies comparing the effectiveness of different treatment regimes, differences in treatment credibility and expectancy may influence the outcome. In the proposed study the credibility/expectancy questionnaire (CEQ) will be administered directly following the explanation of the study?s rationale to patients, i.e. after informed consent has been obtained.<br>
