Table 1_Interdisciplinary collaboration in traumatic brain injury rehabilitation: a cross-sectional survey of rehabilitation services.docx

The combined agreement figure was 63.4% (199/314). Perceived importance differed significantly by profession, F(2, 311) = 10.10, p < 0.001, with OTs reporting higher ratings than PTs and SLPs. Collaboration frequency also differed significantly by profession, χ²(8, N = 314) = 25.15, p = 0.0015.

Training status was not significantly associated with collaboration frequency, χ²(4, N = 314) = 8.28, p = 0.0819, but was significantly associated with perceived importance, with respondents without prior training reporting higher perceived importance scores, t(312) = −2.68, p = 0.0077. Age was negatively associated with perceived importance, ρ = −0.3885, p < 0.001.</p>Conclusion<p>Healthcare professionals demonstrated generally positive attitudes toward interdisciplinary TBI rehabilitation; however, profession-specific differences were observed in both perceived importance and reported collaboration frequency.

Training status was not associated with more frequent collaboration, suggesting that education alone may be insufficient without workplace systems that support interdisciplinary practice. These findings highlight the need for structured referral pathways, clearer professional roles, and targeted professional-development initiatives to strengthen interdisciplinary rehabilitation for individuals with TBI.</p>
