<p>Study objectives.</p>

17 family members of traumatic brain injury patients participated in a pre-feasibility study exploring a storytelling intervention. The dataset likely contains qualitative data from focus groups and interviews, analyzing themes like 'Scaling Cliffs with Broken Wings' and 'An Entanglement of Wellbeing'. Charlotte Jane Whiffin published the study on figshare in May 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing themes of grief and adaptation in family caregivers based on the identified themes 'Scaling Cliffs with Broken Wings' and 'An Entanglement of Wellbeing'.
• Evaluating the perceived benefits of narrative reconstruction based on reports from 11 participants who reported tangible benefits.
• Studying the conditions for effective therapeutic storytelling based on the theme 'Creating the Conditions for Stories to Be Told'.
• Assessing the role of agency and sense-making in caregiver support based on the theme 'Hear Me, See Me: The Power of Story'.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a purposive sample of 20 family members, with 17 completing the full study.
• Analysis identified four main themes from participant narratives, providing structured qualitative insights.
• The study design included multiple data collection points: online focus groups, a four-week intervention, and in-person interviews.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 5.5 KB file size suggests a very limited scope, likely containing summary or coded data rather than raw transcripts.
