AB  - AIMS: This study aimed to elucidate the illness representations of patients with 
      traumatic injury and to examine what extent their illness representations change 
      over time. BACKGROUND: Traumatic injury has attracted global concern because it 
      is the major reason for death and disability in people under 45 years old. One 
      model, the Common Sense Model of Illness Representation (CSMIR), has the 
      potential to help individuals adjust to changes in health status such as 
      traumatic injury. DESIGN: Longitudinal study design. METHODS: This study was 
      conducted using a and collected data prior to hospital discharge and at three and 
      six months after hospital discharge. One individual question form and the Chinese 
      Illness Perception Questionnaire Revised (IPQ-R) (Trauma) were used to collect 
      demographic data, clinical data and illness representations. RESULTS: A total of 
      114 participants completed the survey three times. The overall response rate was 
      79.7%. Six subscales of the Chinese (Trauma): identity, emotional 
      representations, consequences, controllability, illness coherence and causes of 
      the Chinese IPQ-R (Trauma) changed significantly over time. Two subscales, 
      Timeline (acute/chronic) and Timeline Cyclical, did not change significantly. 
      CONCLUSIONS: Based on these findings, there may be a window of opportunity to 
      provide appropriate interventions to individuals with traumatic injury at each 
      time point. The results of this study have implications for nursing practice and 
      further nursing research. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Understanding illness 
      representation in patients with traumatic injury may help nurses to provide 
      anticipatory guidance and to design nursing interventions before and after 
      hospital discharge, ultimately to improve health outcomes of those patients.
