The aim of this dissertation was to investigate severe pediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) in South Africa. To that end, I conducted three studies, each examining a different aspect of severe pTBI. Study 1 presents a demographic profile of trends in severe pTBI admissions to the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital (RXH) from June 2006 to April 2011. Study 2 examines the associations between secondary injury, as manifest by low brain oxygenation (PbtO2), and neuropsychological outcomes in severe pTBI. Study 3 evaluates the efficacy of an attention-training intervention for severe pTBI, and discusses the implementation of that intervention in the context of a low- and middle-income country. All three studies were cross-sectional and quantitative. 2014-12-30T19:52:58Z 2014-12-30T19:52:58Z 2013 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10647 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
