Glasgow Coma Scale, a Predictor Factor toward Return to Work among Patients with Mild and Moderate Head Injury

Abstract
Most patients with mild or moderate head injury have been experiencing symptoms of disability for several weeks to months, which can interfere with the ability of return to work or perform social activities. Mild and moderate head injury causes reversible lesions with complaints, and the complaint should be used as preliminary data from the physical signs of the basis for subsequent action. This study aims to determine the prognostic value of acute injury characteristics based on GCS score on admission toward the ability return to work among patients with mild and moderate head injury. This research is non-experimental, with a cohort prospective research design, involving 60 patients with mild and moderate head injury who admitted in the emergency department Tugurejo Semarang General Hospital from July 2012 - February 2013. The results of this study showed there was a significant correlation between GCS score with the ability return to work at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post-treatment in a hospital (p=0,000), with positive correlation direction. For nurses are expected to use the GCS score which is a predictor for mild and moderate TBI patient outcome, and obtain priority treatment at the hospital with appropriate procedure immediately. With proper handling the GCS score is expected to provide economic value to patients by shortening the length of stay.
