The causal attributions of nursing students toward adolescent survivors of brain injury.

Abstract

Attributions of brain injury were influenced by the presence of a visible but potentially specious indicator of injury.

This suggests that survivors of brain injury who do not display any outward indicator may receive less care and face expectations to behave in a manner consistent with the norms of society.

If their injury does not allow them to meet with these expectations, they may face public censure and discrimination.
