Translated Title

生態化執行功能訓練對腦傷病人之治療：病例報告

Abstract

It has been reported that inappropriate behavior and cognitive/social dysfunction might be the result of poor impulse control after brain injury. A disorganized condition can be attributed to a failure to use a goal list. Goal management training (GMT), a neuropsychological rehabilitation program, was therefore designed for patients with poor inhibition, impaired goal- management and disorganized daily behavior. In this report, Ecological Executive Function Training (EEFT), based on the GMT model, was applied to a 55 year-old male patient with poor impulse control that was secondary to brain injury. The treatment lasted for two weeks and aimed to improve his psychosocial adaptation. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery-Screening Test (LNNB-S) and Neurobehavioral Rating Scale (NRS) were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. The outcome was improved inhibition and better impulse control, which were manifested in the dimensions of better motivation cooperation in terms of the rehabilitation process, better cognitive ability and improved social functioning. It is concluded that EEFT can be helpful to a patient even when the treatment time is as short as two weeks.
