Sample Demographics: Family Members of Traumatic Brain Injury Patients

17 family members of traumatic brain injury patients participated in a qualitative pre-feasibility study exploring a storytelling intervention. The dataset, authored by Charlotte Jane Whiffin and last updated in May 2026, likely contains demographic information about these participants. The study used focus groups and unstructured interviews to understand the clinical potential of the 'Life Threads' approach for narrative reconstruction post-TBI.

Use Cases

• Analyze demographic characteristics of family caregivers in traumatic brain injury contexts based on the study's participant sample.
• Study the application of reflexive thematic analysis in health research based on the described analytical approach.
• Investigate the feasibility and design of trauma-informed, facilitator-supported interventions based on the study's methodology and findings.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for broad reuse.
• Study involved 17 participants who completed the full protocol, providing a defined final sample size.
• The research design is clearly described, including purposive sampling and a multi-method qualitative approach.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope and scale.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
