Abstract

Objective: To identify and summarize published literature that examined the effectiveness of social and community integration interventions for children and adolescents with ABI in order to provide recommendations regarding future research on this topic.

Methods: A literature review was conducted to identify studies that focused on social and community integration interventions for youth with ABI. Further manual searching of relevant journals with a paediatric rehabilitation focus was also carried out.

Results: Currently, limited research has been published evaluating such interventions. The lack of research may stem largely from issues relating to how to measure community integration. Recommendations regarding intervention settings and structure are discussed.

Conclusion: Additional studies investigating social and community integration interventions are necessary, including those with measures tailored specifically to community integration, larger samples, as are better controls and recruitment of youth with varying severities of brain injuries.

Community integration interventions for youth with acquired brain injuries: A review

Objetivo: Identificar y resumir la literatura publicada que revisa la efectividad de las intervenciones de integración social y a la comunidad para niños y adolescente con lesión cerebral adquirida (ABI) a fin de proporcionar recomendaciones que orienten futuras investigaciones.

Métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica para identificar estudios enfocados en intervenciones de integración social y a la comunidad para jóvenes con ABI. Así mismo se realizó una búsqueda manual en revistas relevantes a la rehabilitación pediátrica.

Resultados: Actualmente, se han publicado pocas investigaciones que evalúen dichas intervenciones. Esta falta de investigación puede ser el resultado de cómo es que se determina la reintegración social. Se discuten recomendaciones respecto a la estructura y entornos de intervención.

Conclusión: Son necesarios estudios adicionales que investiguen las intervenciones de reintegración social y a la comunidad, incluyendo aquellos que determinen la reintegración social, con muestras de mayor tamaño, así como con mejores controles y reclutamiento de jóvenes con lesión cerebral de diferentes niveles de gravedad.

Palabras clave: lesión cerebral adquirida, pediátrico, integración a la comunidad, rehabilitación
