The lived experience of engaging in the occupation of study by university students with an ABI

This study will explore the experiences and perspectives of students studying at university following an acquired brain injury.

This research project will involve participants to firstly fill out a demographics sheet with their personal information. Secondly, being a participant will involve engaging in a one-off, semi-structured interview between the participant and a member of the research team. The interviews will be approximately one hour in duration and conducted in a private, comfortable space at a mutually convenient time. The location may be on university campus grounds, such as in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences building, or via an online platform, such as Zoom. The interviews will explore the experience of the student studying at university following an acquired brain injury. Through analysis of the interview content, the research team aims to achieve an understanding of the experiences and perspectives of university students studying post acquired brain injury.
