Abstract
Abstract: Numerous outcome studies have indicated that fatigue is one of the most universal and persistent problems reported following traumatic brain injury (TBI). The present study will examine fatigue following TBI, as reported subjectively, its relationship with demographic and injury-related factors, depression and anxiety, as well as its relationship with measures of attention and mental speed. In a group of 28 TBI participants and 28 controls, TBI participants reported significantly greater fatigue on the Fatigue Severity Scale. Fatigue was greater in those who were older, more educated and a longer time post-injury. Depression was also associated with high fatigue, but not in all cases. The relationship of subjective fatigue with mental speed and attention will be the next focus of this study.
