Communication is integral to interpersonal skills, but workplace communication demands are inadequately described in the rehabilitation literature. OBJECTIVE: This study describes inter-stakeholder examples ofworkplace communication behaviors for a level of employment to which people with TBI commonly attempt to return. METHODS: Setting: Mid-level workplaces. Design: Semi-structured interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, then analyzed using thematic content analysis. Findings were linked to common communication deficits in persons with TBI. Participants: A volunteer sample of twenty healthy individuals employed in the mid-level workplaces, ten employees and ten supervisors. Main Outcome Measure(s): Taxonomy of communication skill deficits common in persons with TBI and associated with mid-level workplaces. RESULTS: Interviews revealed seven communication-related skills associated with mid-level employment: 1) spoken language processing; 2) verbal memory; 3) reading and writing; 4) verbal reasoning; 5) expressive pragmatics; 6) multi-tasking; and 7) social cognition. CONCLUSION:Workers and supervisors from an assortment of mid-level jobs with differing job contents all identified similarly common and important cross-occupational communication-related skills. Findings provide a preliminary guide to assess and treat communication skills for patients who have work re-entry as a goal. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
