The Experience of Return to Work Among People with Persistent Symptoms Following a Concussion: An Interview Study
Recognition in daily life seem to play a key role in the RTW process for individuals with persistent symptoms following a concussion. They struggle to balance their limitations to match their desire to both work and family life. The support they received was often random and they felt lonely. The findings reflect the participant's desire for structured and recognition-based rehabilitation and support to enhance their daily lives and facilitate the RTW process.
