Abstract
This review aimed to identify and synthesize empowering support for the family members of patients in the acute phase of traumatic brain injury hospital treatment. CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, and Medic databases were searched from 2010 to 2021. Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria. Each article was critically appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisals Tools. Following a thematic analysis, four main themes were identified about the process of empowering traumatic brain injury patients’ family members in the acute phases of hospital care: (a) needs-based informational, (b) participatory, (c) competent and interprofessional, and (d) community support. This review of findings may be utilized in future studies focusing on designing, implementing, and evaluating an empowerment support model for the traumatic brain injury patient’s family members in the acute care hospitalization to strengthen the current knowledge and develop nursing practices.
