Abstract: Purpose: Understanding the lived experience of major trauma survivors who have engaged with recovery and rehabilitation services is a vital component of trauma system quality improvement. The purpose of this study was to explore the first 12 months of major trauma recovery from the perspectives of those with lived experience across different geographical locations (regional, rural and remote). Method: Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were conducted with nineteen major traumatic injury survivors (aged 28 to 74 years; 78.9% male; 73.7% living in a regional area) who were on average 1.9 years post injury. Results: Interviews were thematically analysed, and four superordinate themes were generated: (1) communication in acute recovery, (2) transition from hospital to home, (3) service quality and accessibility, and (4) recovery beyond physical rehabilitation. Conclusion: Overall, the findings illustrate potential avenues to better support major traumatic injury survivors with their recovery, across a range of geographical areas. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION: The perspectives of those who have sustained a major trauma injury provides unique insight into the first 12 months of recovery. Major trauma patients expressed preferences for how health professionals and systems communicate in acute recovery and a need for consistent follow-up care after discharge. Regional, rural, and remote major traumatic injury survivors need support to navigate numerous barriers to accessing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation plans would benefit from developing options that allows for access to psychological services at various points throughout recovery and which considers individual approaches to coping.
