Disturbances in emotional regulation following acquired brain injury have been found to be both prevalent and particularly disabling. Despite this, relatively little attention has been given to identifying characteristics of such deficits in a systematic way. We therefore describe the development of a new questionnaire measure of disturbances in emotional regulation that may occur following acquired brain injury. The measure demonstrates excellent psychometric properties, including high test…

Emotional Regulation Following Acquired Brain Injury: Associations With Executive Functioning in Daily Life and Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression
TLDR
The significant associations between the BREq and most of the other clinical measures indicate that, for patients with acquired brain injury, the BREQ does not add substantial information beyond what can be assessed with the BRIEF-A and the HSCL-25.
Emotion regulation after acquired brain injury
TLDR
Two articles offer important insight into how concreteness and executive impairment are associated to emotion dysregulation, and the mechanisms by which such dysregulation can be externally compensated.
Post-injury personality in the prediction of outcome following severe acquired brain injury
TLDR
These measures provide a method of quantifying the extent of NCNB changes following brain injury and may represent a useful tool which could aid clinicians in identifying early-on those whose symptoms are likely to persist and who may require ongoing intervention in the planning of rehabilitation programmes.
Validity and reliability of a questionnaire to assess social skills in traumatic brain injury: A preliminary study
TLDR
Preliminary findings of good internal consistency and convergent and predictive validity of a social skills questionnaire adapted to be appropriate for individuals with TBI are provided.
The efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions and cognitive rehabilitation on emotional and executive functioning problems after acquired brain injury
TLDR
Overall findings from the systematic review suggest that there is insufficient methodologically robust evidence from the reviewed studies to make confident conclusions about the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions reducing anxiety and/or depression symptoms after brain injury.
The Italian version of the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT) personality questionnaires: five new measures of personality change after acquired brain injury
TLDR
This study lays the foundations for using a new instrument to assess behavioral changes after acquired brain injury on the Italian population through the translation and adaptation of the BIRT personality questionnaires.
Definition of Impulsivity and Related Terms Following Traumatic Brain Injury: A Review of the Different Concepts and Measures Used to Assess Impulsivity, Disinhibition and other Related Concepts
TLDR
The following review aims to elucidate the differences and resemblances between impulsivity, disinhibition and other related terms following brain injury and the instruments that are commonly used to measure these constructs.
A transdiagnostic investigation of emotional distress after traumatic brain injury
TLDR
Findings indicate the need for interventions to target difficulties in identifying and regulating emotions after TBI to facilitate emotional adjustment.
Beyond anger: emotion regulation and social connectedness in veterans with traumatic brain injury
TLDR
Impairments in ER should be regarded as a risk factor for poor interpersonal outcomes, a target for mental health treatment and a focus for interventions aimed at improving psychological well-being in TBI.
Yoga after Traumatic Brain Injury: Changes in Emotional Regulation and Health-Related Quality of Life in a Case-Study
TLDR
Outcome measures included the Difficulty in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS) and Quality of Life after Brain Injury Scale (QOLIBRI, both are reliable and valid after TBI).
