Psychological well-being in individuals living in the community with traumatic brain injury

This study explores the psychological well-being of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) who are living in the community but are unemployed and have low life satisfaction. The research examines how different measures of well-being relate to each other in this specific group of people. The findings highlight the need for interventions that can improve productivity and bring more meaning into the lives of people with TBI.
