<p>Study inclusion and exclusion criteria.</p>

17 family members of traumatic brain injury patients participated in a qualitative pre-feasibility study exploring the 'Life Threads' storytelling approach. The dataset, authored by Charlotte Jane Whiffin and last updated in May 2026, likely contains qualitative analysis results from focus groups and interviews. Findings suggest the approach helped participants tell their stories and make sense of their experiences in ways traditional methods did not.

Use Cases

• Analyze thematic patterns in family experiences post-TBI based on the four main themes identified in the study
• Evaluate the perceived benefits of narrative reconstruction methods based on participant reports of tangible benefits
• Study the requirements for trauma-informed implementation based on the described need for paced, skilled facilitation

Strengths

• Dataset is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and initial inspection.
• The study design involved multiple qualitative data collection points (focus groups, interviews over four weeks).
• Analysis followed a recognized reflexive thematic analysis approach by Braun and Clarke.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The sample size of 17 family members is small, limiting generalizability.
