INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVE: To describe level of awareness, as assessed by the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory-4 (MPAI-4), across physical, cognitive, functional, and emotional domains in individuals with mild, moderate, and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) participating in a residential rehabilitation program. In addition, this study aimed to examine the relationship between time since injury and awareness. A novel way the MPAI-4 can be used to measure self-awareness is also presented.

METHOD: Retrospective analysis of existing data. The MPAI-4 was completed by the patient on admission, as well as by provider consensus within 2 weeks of admission. Level of awareness was determined by discrepancy scores, computed as MPAI-4 provider consensus score minus self-report MPAI-4 score, for the total score and for each index score: Ability, Adjustment, and Participation.

PARTICIPANTS: A total of 101 military veterans and active duty service members admitted to a Veterans Affairs community reintegration rehabilitation program.

RESULTS: Discrepancies between patient and provider reports of functioning were found among all severities of TBI across the MPAI-4 total score and index domains measuring Ability, Adjustment, and Participation. Interestingly, those with mild TBI endorsed greater impairments than their providers, while those with moderate and severe TBI reported less impairment on the MPAI-4 than providers. The effect of time varied across domains, and those who were more than 1 year postinjury displayed greater self-awareness.

CONCLUSION: This study highlights the importance of measuring awareness of functional ability over time and across TBI severity and introduces a novel method for doing so, using the MPAI-4 for comparison between staff and patient reports.
