Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Psychosocial Health

Background:

  • Cranioplasty reconstructs skull defects after traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke.
  • The impact of cranioplasty on patient rehabilitation, cosmesis, and social reintegration is not well understood.
  • Patients and families face significant adaptation challenges post-cranioplasty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate patient and relative perceptions of cranioplasty.
  • To understand the impact of cranioplasty on rehabilitation and social reintegration.
  • To identify potential social barriers and cosmetic considerations for TBI and stroke patients undergoing cranioplasty.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative data.
  • Focus groups with healthcare professionals (HCPs).
  • Semi-structured interviews with patients and relatives, field notes, researcher diary, and patient questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • Data analysis includes interpretive phenomenological analysis for patient/relative data and thematic analysis for HCP data.
  • Method triangulation will integrate diverse perspectives.
  • Study results will be disseminated through conferences and peer-reviewed publications.

Conclusions:

  • Limited literature exists on patient perspectives of cranioplasty and its impact on community reintegration.
  • Findings will inform clinicians about patient and family difficulties and perceptions.
  • This research aims to improve support for individuals undergoing cranioplasty.
