What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a self-management support program designed for individuals recovering from moderate to severe traumatic injuries. Conducted at Oslo University Hospital, the program aims to enhance patients' self-efficacy through a series of eight group-based sessions that include psychoeducation and skill mastery. Participants will be recruited 3-4 months post-injury and followed for 12 months to assess improvements in daily functioning and quality of life. The study employs a pragmatic randomized controlled trial design with a mixed-methods approach.
