Abstract
Scoping Review: The Assessment of Communicative and Pragmatic Abilities and Quality of Life after Traumatic Brain Injury Abstract. Background: Communication disorders following traumatic brain injury (TBI) play a crucial role in successful participation and are therefore closely associated with quality of life (QoL). To this day, however, these disorders have hardly been taken into account in diagnostic procedures. Aims: This scoping review serves to identify diagnostic tools that assess the communicative and pragmatic skills of people with TBI and take into account the impact of communicative-pragmatic competence on social participation and QoL. Results: After a systematic research of databases for the publication period 2010-2020, we included 14 diagnostic tools (6 of which are available in German). An analysis of both content and method yielded tools for assessing communication skills (e. g., LCQ) and evaluating social participation and QoL (e. g., QOLIBRI). Conclusion: Although communicative disorders are frequent and persistent in TBI patients, there is presently a lack of diagnostic tools in the German-speaking countries. Further development seems crucial.
