Abstract(s)
Os traumatismos crânio -encefálicos (TCE) constituem um dos grandes problemas de saúde pública na nossa sociedade, em especial na população adulta jovem. Muitos dos sobreviventes irão ficar com sequelas, mais ou menos graves, que vão interferir na sua vida pessoal, social e profissional. Estas sequelas podem ser de vários tipos: défices motores e sensoriais, défices cognitivos (e.g. memória, funções executivas, atenção/concentração, comunicação) e perturbações no comportamento que levam a incapacidades prolongadas ou permanentes. Uma das principais consequências após a lesão é a dificuldade em ingressar/reingressar no mercado de trabalho, devido especialmente a perturbações cognitivas e comportamentais. O objetivo do presente trabalho é realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre as consequências dos TCE e a problemática relacionada com o regresso ao trabalho, incluindo a necessidade de apoios nesse sentido.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the major public health problems in our society, especially in the young adult population. Those who survive will have more or less serious sequels, which can interfere with their personal, social and professional life. They can suffer several types of sequels, like sensorial, motor, cognitive (e.g., memory, executive functions, attention, communication), and behavioral impairments that lead to prolonged or permanent disabilities. One of the main consequences after the injury is difficult to join/rejoin the labour market, due especially to cognitive and behavioral disabilities. The purpose of the present study is to conduct a review of the literature on the effects of TBI, the problems related to the return to work, and the needs of support in order to achieve this goal.
