Invitation to influence and shape rehabilitation support for young adults following a brain injury

Are you a nurse involved in or supporting the rehabilitation of young adults following a brain injury?

The RCN Foundation, an independent charity dedicated to supporting nurses and midwives across the nursing and midwifery professions has funded a study exploring the neurological rehabilitation support for young adults following a brain injury in the UK. The study aims to develop a nurse-led intervention that can help the psychosocial support of young individuals. They are particularly interested in speaking to nurses in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This work builds on the findings of the YARNS study from 2021.

The team is looking for nurses to participate in focus groups and interviews to explore their roles, their work, and how they support the rehabilitation and care of young people they are looking for individuals who:

  • Are nurses in the UK involved in or supporting the rehabilitation process of young adults (aged 18-45) following an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
  • Are willing to consent to participate in an online interview

If you are interested in participating, please contact yarnspro@ed.ac.uk or ocleary@ed.ac.uk
