TITLE:
“To analyze the implication of that arises through brain injuries and its impact upon
children and young people”
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview of the Research
Brain injuries are serious problems that a person may have in his/her life. brain injuries
can result in bruised brain tissue, bleeding inside the brain, large or small lacerations in the brain,
and nerve damage due to shearing forces. The brain can also experience a number of secondary
types of damage, like swelling, fever, seizures, or an imbalance of neurological chemicals. A
traumatic brain injury may either be a penetrating injury or a closed head injury. Penetrating
head injuries occur when an object, like shrapnel, enters the brain and causes damage in a
specific area. Closed head injuries occur when there's a blow to the head, which can happen
during a fall, car accident, sporting event, or any number of different ways. Brain injury
(TBI) occurs when external physical forces cause damage to the brain, whether from impact,
penetrating objects, blast waves or rapid movement of the brain within the skull. Currently, TBI
has three severity classifications (mild, moderate, severe) that are based primarily on the
Glasgow Coma Scale. The classification of mild TBI also includes concussion, commonly
defined as a transient alteration of brain function due to exposure to external physical forces.
While acute TBI can be life threatening, TBI also can have long-term sequelae
including cognitive and physical disability, post-concussion syndrome(PCS), and may contribute
to the development of chronic traumatic encephalitic (CTE). PCS results when various
symptoms of concussion last weeks, months or more than a year following concussion. CTE is a
delayed neuron generative disorder that results from repetitive mild injury to the brain and can
only be diagnosed postmortem. These injuries are very harmful and sometimes may cause to
death and main injury that leads to death of a person is brain hemorrhage. In this modern firm
people are working and due to conducting their work, individuals carries some stress that is to be
resultant into many injuries and diseases that are linked with brain. There are very useful and
prominent medicines are available in medical market in order to deal with this kind of heal issues
that human beings are facing in their busy life. Main purpose of conducting this kind of research
program is to carried out investigation upon impact of brain injuries on mostly children and
young people whom are more energetic and enthusiastic and real manpower of a country.
1

Growth and success of a country depends on total population of young people in nation because
these are persons whom are responsible for conducting business objectives in order to make
higher earnings. These types of health issues hamper daily life of a person. Whether medicines
are present in marketplace but on the other hand, dealing with these sorts of handling are very
difficult task. Aim of conducting this research program is to analyzing implication of that arises
through brain injuries and its impact upon children and young people.
1.2 Background of Research
Brain injuries are some type of health issue that is related with mind. There are several
method and by taking aid if this, HSC can main their composition and extensiveness. Main
objective behind selecting this topic is to identify what are the brain injuries that are harming
human life on wider level. HSC is focusing on solutions of this kind of health issues by
understanding level of impact of issues or personal as well as professional life of a person. HSC
was an industry that is present in market from very starting point of emergence of countries in
world because universe comprises people and population gets hampered due to this type of
diseases. In an organisation which is having sufficient number of employees and if any of the
staff member is having this kind of injury like memory loss then consequently will be converted
into negative aspect of life. Medicines that are available ion market are not useful but not
successful in curing these injuries in most effective manner.
1.3 Significance of Research
This research program is based upon impact of brain injuries on children and young
people from population. Main goal of conducting this type research is to make study upon
influences of brain injuries and how it will increases rate of diseases in human life of specially
children and young people whom are main numbers of working population those are counted in
conduction of business activities in most appropriate manner so that intelligent task
accomplishment could get done. Main result of these brain injuries are major health issues like
paralysis, hampers accomplishments of business operations in strongly negative manner also.
This research is effective in identifying present status of brain injuries that are affecting life of
human beings and HSC has to take strict actions and decisions upon it.
1.4 Research Aim
It is a most fundamental section of a research program because this section provides
adequate direction to research function and all investigating activities revolve around this. Main
2

purpose of conducting this research event is to recognise implications of brain injuries and its
effect upon life and health of children and young people. This section is also fruitful in serving
more relevant and accurate outcomes so that HSC could make efficient decisions in order to
remove brain injuries specifically, from society. The essential aim of this research report is “To
analyze the implication of that arises through brain injuries and its impact upon children and
young people”. A case study on HSC.
1.5 Research Objective
This is elaborated as results which are sought by investigator at last of research
procedure. This section comprises, what the researcher will be able in achieving at the end of
research program. Research objectives are small statements which are prepared in order to find
why investigation is being conducted. Some research objectives are stated as beneath:
 To identify different type of illness related to brain injury which has a huge impact on
children and Young people.
 To analyse the causes that create brain injury among young people and children.
 To determine the drawbacks of brain problems on individual health.
 To measure the impact on brain injury on individual's health, family and society.
 To recommend various ways through which the cause of brain injuries are reduced.
1.6 Research Questions
This segment is divided into a significant query section that must be asked to a set of
sample size in order to collect data or this is defined as portion of questions that researcher wants
to address while running research program in marketplace. This segment is interconnected with
research objectives part and also depends upon it. There are some set of questions that are
described as further:
1. How to identify different type of illness related to brain injury which has a huge
impact on children and Young people?
2. How to analyse the causes that create brain injury among young people and
children?
3. How to determine the drawbacks of brain problems on individual health?
3

4. How measurement of impact on brain injury on individual's health, family and
society could get done?
5. Present the recommendations on various ways through which the cause of brain
injuries are reduced?
CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW
Identify various types of illness relates to brain injury which impact on child and young
people. There are various types of brain injury which directly or indirectly impact on young
people and children. It is broad class of brain injuries which are genetic nor acquired during birth
and it is typically identified as traumatic and non traumatic. This injury produce various variety
of symptoms that range from moderate to severe. There are two types of brain injuries which are
described as follows:
Traumatic brain injury – It is one of the leading brain injury with least 1.7 million
people sustaining such injuries in each year. There are around 52000 people who died in their
injuries which are mainly caused by car accidents, falls, blunt force trauma and sporting injuries
(Rutter, 2013).
Non Traumatic brain injuries – TBI refers to physical trauma, not psychological trauma.
So non traumatic brain injury can be bit as emotion challenging as traumatic one. They are
mainly demand for proper treatment to the young people. There are various other injury which
can caused by such factors that are as follows:
Infection – It can occurs with the help of some process. Infection such as spreads through blood
to the brain, damaging brain tissue. The brain injury make it easier for bacteria forgetting into the
brain and this will create major disease among people.
Tumours – All the brain Tumours are cancerous, but even Tumours can cause due to brain
damages. For removing the Tumours it can face issues, but brain surgery is risky which
undertaken in better manner.
These types of brain injuries are directly or indirectly affect on young people and children
at outside places. This will create bad impact on child such as disrupt normal development in
term of languages and speech, reduces learning memory, behaviour, balance and coordination.
On young people, this brain injury are effect on long time period and sometime they are disabled
in some cases.
4

Analyse causes which create brain injury among young people and children. There are
various cause which create brain injury among youngsters and children. The one of the most
common cause is accident, fall, etc. as this result they are suffer from harm or damage. The risk
of brain injury is higher among young people and twice as frequent in males rather than female
members. It can analysed that brain injury are more general in the spring and summer month
time period when children are mainly active in outdoor activities and they are play at outside
with their friends or family members. It includes ridding bicycle, inline skating, skateboarding.
The one of the most common time which are associated with brain injury that is late in the
afternoon to early evening hours and some weekends. When there are direct blow in the head,
shaking of child, the bruising the brain and damage to the internal tissue and blood vessels due to
this mechanism. Brain injury have wide ranging physical and psychological effects (Watson,
2012). There are certain signs and symptoms which may appear immediately after traumatic
events while others may appear in days or weeks. Young people and children have brain injury
which directly impact on their life and family members. There are some cause which affect by
brain injury such as headaches, sensory problems, confusion and similar symptoms. Among
child with traumatic brain injury are as change in eating habits, easily irritate, persistent crying
and inability to consoled, change in ability to pay attention and change in sleep habits. The brain
injury is generally caused by blow or other traumatic injury to the head or body. The level of
harm or damage can depend on various factors that includes the nature of injury and factors of
major impacts. It will generally impact on person human nature, behaviour, attitude and
headache. This can create and make disease which does not impact on other person who are live
with them.
Determine drawbacks of brain issues on individual health
There are various drawbacks which directly affect on person health that are described as
follows:
Physical issues – Most of the people with TBI are able to walk and use the hands of children
who are around 6 years old after injury. In some cases, the physical difficulties does not protect
from independent living such as work and driving. It will impact for long time period, it may
reduces the coordination or producing weakness and create some issues with balance (Haider and
et. al., 2012). For example, an individual who have TBI that may create complexities for playing
sports and they did before the injury but after injury he can not proper stand.
5

Cognitive problems – It will create issue by reduce the memory, concentration, remembering
power and events. They are also unable to switch to different task or work while having certain
difficulties. They may have some speech and language problems, such as trouble identifying the
right word and understanding with others. After brain injury, an individual many have difficulty
or trouble along with complex cognitive activities and functions which is required to be
independent and competent in all over the world. The activity is known as functions which help
in executing for being change in their life.
Emotional or Behaviour problems – Firstly, the change can come directly from harm or damages
to brain issues or some problems. It is totally clearly state that injuries which control and manage
the emotion and behaviour. Cognitive issue may lead towards emotional changes and make them
worse. It will help in understanding that most of the people along with TBI have creating strong
emotional reactions to the main life changing that can cause by the injury. The brain injury is
generally caused by blow or other traumatic injury to the head or body. The level of harm or
damage can depend on various factors that includes the nature of injury and factors of major
impacts.
Measure the impact on brain injury on person's health, family and society. There
are various types of brain injuries such as brain Tumours, meningitis, encephalitis traumatic
brain injury and epilepsy to name but the difficulty which are faced by society and family
members.
On Person's health – This is negatively impact on human mind which damage the whole
brain functions and activities that are create very difficulties or problems for them. It will directly
impact on head of human body where they think and make new ideas after brain injury they are
not able to think more and make long term discussion with their friends and family members. It
will create bad impact on health of human body which can reduces the memory and brain power.
On family members – There are some family members which acquired brain injury would
disagree. This will effect on each person who feel this pain of brain injury. Family members
change their behaviour towards patient who suffer from this disease. Brain injury is different for
some other situations which directly affect can sudden (Corrigan and et. al., 2012). Family may
have adjust to enormous changes or alterations in every circumstances at very short time period.
Some family members are try to recover them to this incident and help that person who are
impact by this, so they are make him feel happy or stress which reduces the pain of an individual
6

head. Parents may face tough time which trying to get the best services or facilities for their
children which comes with their personal share of stress and tension.
On society – This type of brain injury create bad impact on persons society and community
where they are live before this specific incidents. It will create difficult impact on society person
behaviour, attitude, nature are change with suffering person who affected with this problem.
Various ways by which cause of brain injuries are reduced
There are various ways by which brain injuries are reduced in proper manner that are
described as under:
 Better training and coaching of various games which help an individual for freely
stressful and tension. After that they required to feel free with any type of issue during
playing some game or sports.
 The injured person should taken proper treatment regarding their health and make
possible solution for eliminating their disease among them. So it is another method and
way by which they are reducing the brain injury (Viner and et. al., 2012).
 They need to take care of himself with dangerous things or equipments which may cause
brain injuries such as stone, accidents, etc.
 This brain injury impact on head so they can protect their head from safety and security
things which can directly affect on human mind and headaches. It will help in preventing
an individual from dangerous and harmful material in proper manner.
 They do not shake with child, install window guards for keeping children from falling out
to open windows. They need to wear helmet during play games and sports.
 Avoid falls by using step-stool when reaching for high items and products in the home.

CHAPTER 3: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This is considered as one of the most essential part of the research process as here only
the investigator prepares various types of plans which will be implemented at the time of
conducting research (de KIEVIET and et. al., 2012). This will be very effective for the
investigator as through this they will be able to conduct the research process in a proper manner.
In this, the researcher also introduces various types of tools and techniques which will be
effectively used in the process. In this part, various factors are required to be determined and all
these factors forms a very important part of the research process.
3.1Type of Investigation
While conducting the research process, the researcher is having various options to choose
the type of research they want to apply in this research. The investigator is required to analyse
various types of research and the one which is most appropriate will be chosen by them.
Basically there are two types of research namely Quantitative research and Qualitative research.
In Qualitative research, the information is being collected as well as depicted in theoretical
manner and focus was given on quality whereas in case of qualitative research, the data is being
collected by the researcher in numeric manner. It is dependent on investigator that which method
is being considered as more favourable for them.
3.2Research Design
There are various types of research designs which can be applied in the research process.
Through this, the investigator will be able to understand the research process in a effective
manner. The investigator is required to choose the research design they want to apply in their
research process and their decision will be final one (Eikenes and et. al., 2011). Normally, there
are three types of research designs which can be implemented in a research and these are like
exploratory research design and Casual or experimental research design. In the current research
process, exploratory research design will be chosen by the researcher as here qualitative research
will be conducted.
The other research designs are also effective as in descriptive designs, an issue is
explained and then its solutions are also given in a proper. This is also considered as purposive
study. Various types of researchers are making use of this type of research as it helps in
analysing data in a proper manner.
8

3.3 Research Philosophy
This is also considered as an important part of research process as here various ways are
being described through which the data can be collected, analysed and used in an effective
manner (Jonson-Reid, Kohl and Drake, 2012). Therefore, in this part of research process; the
main communication is about gathering information through various sources which includes
writers, experts, guides etc. Basically there are two types of research philosophies which are
normally being implemented in a research process which are like Interpretivism and positivism.
As per the current research, the investigator is implementing Interpretivism research philosophy.
Through this, the researcher will be able to implement the research process in a corrective
manner and in appropriate direction as well. It has been chosen by the researcher since they are
implementing qualitative research in their research. Also, the investigator is required to analyse
the nature and its role on humans then only it will be selected. Therefore, the investigator will
have to use all of its knowledge in knowing the feeling of human being and their role in societal
environment.
3.4 Research approach
It is also an essential part of research process as by implementing this; the investigator
will be able to conduct all the activities in an effective manner and will be able to derive
effective results as well. The various types of research approaches that can be implemented y the
investigator in their research process are inductive and deductive research approach. So, in the
current research project, the researcher will be implementing inductive research approach
because the investigator thinks that it will be more appropriate for their project. In this, the resher
will be allowed to implement the research process by collecting corrective information and it
will also be used by them further in their project.
3.5 Data sampling
In this part, the researcher has finally been collected from the sample respondents. The
investigator has been using random sampling method for selecting the sample respondents
(Maugans and et. al, 2012). Normally, a large population is being taken on by the investigator for
selecting the sample respondents and these are the people who will be acting as a representative
for the large population. Therefore the sample size selected here is of 30 respondents and these
people will be asked few questions about the aim of the research through a questionnaire. There
are two types of sampling technique which can be implemented in this research and they are
9

probabilistic and non-probabilistic approach. Here, Non-probabilistic (goal-directed) method has
been taken.
3.6 Data Analysis
This is regarded as one of the most crucial process which is implemented in a research process as
here the data collected has been analysed and interpreted so as to know the results of the research
process (McCauley and et. al., 2012). It is considered as significant because the data which has
been collected should be analysed as well then only it will be useful otherwise it will not be
considered of any use. Data Analysis can be done in two forms which is Primary and Secondary
source. In this research, primary source is being used to do quantitative analysis and secondary
will be used for exploratory.
3.7 Ethical Consideration
It is very necessary for the researcher to execute the whole process ff research in an effective and
efficient manner as then only they will be able to derive good results from it and complete the
aim and objectives. By following all the rules decided for them will lead to implementing all the
activities in an appropriate manner and gaining the desired results as well (Rosenfeld and et. al.,
2012). While conducting the research process, there are various kinds of issues which are being
faced by the researcher. Therefore, it is the utmost responsibility of researcher to make sure that
all these issues are being resolved and the research is being conducted in an effective manner.
Also, the investigator is required to keep all the information related to the project confidential.
Therefore, they are required to follow their ethics.

and everyone faces this for one or more than one time. When researcher conducted his/her
12
36
4
Yes
No

research then he/she asked about this from selected sample size then ninety percent people said
not brain injury but they faced various kind of injuries in their entire life. But rest of the
respondents said that not any big injury they faced some small and little sized injuries that is not
remarkable. According to this analysis, it is clear that injuries are part of life and when
discussion is on brain injuries then most of are cause to death of a person. Due to stress, traffic,
hard working life etc. are causes behind brain injuries.

Q2) What is frequency of occurring brain injuries? Frequency
a) High 11
b) LOW 15
C) Moderate 9
d) Zero 5
Interpretation:
It is clear that rate of happening injuries are very high but this was not clear that what is
the frequency of occurring brain injury in human life period. When researcher conducted
research and asked questions to respondents regarding this context then he/she received many
different opinions like out of total sample, around 12 people said that brain injuries occur on low
rate basis unless and until major situation has happened with human beings. About 11 people
viewed that chances of happening brain injuries are high due to stressful and hard working life of
individuals. Other than these respondents, 9 person said that rate of happening brain injuries in
anyone's life is moderate if people use precautions for this. Now, rest of respondents had their
viewpoints in context of zero occurrence of this type of injuries because people knows how to
cure this and how they can prevent themselves about this technique.

c) 400000 to 600000 10
d) 600000 to 800000 5
Interpretation:
Brain injuries are very harmful problems that could lead situation to human death. To
analyse impact of these problems on human behaviour , learner conducted an efficient research
program of taking sample size 40. when researcher asked from respondents that what are number
of people whom are affecting by brain injuries then as per knowledge of respondents, 20 people
said that on an average around 160000 to 350000 people are affecting per year for by brain
injuries and on the other hand 10 respondents that have information that around 4 Lacks to 6
Lacks people are having brain injuries per year basis.

Brain injuries occurs due to some critical situations like accidents. When questions were asked to
respondents regarding occurrence of brain injuries then ten people said that they are not sure
about how frequently brain injuries occur in situation. Other twenty person said that occurrence
of brain injuries are normal and their frequency is moderate and 10 respondents said that they are
not sure and also not aware about these type of traumatology. Hence it is quiet evident from
above data that brain injuries are happened not very frequent and respondents are not sure about
chances of occurrence.
Theme 5: Time duration for treatment for brain injuries.

Interpretation:
When a brain injury occurs it takes a prominent time to get treated proper because it has
vast impact on human life. On general lever people are aware about what brain injuries are but
not much know how they get treatment for this. When researcher asked questions in this context
then about 25 people were there who said that it takes more than six months and other
respondents told that they are sure about time frame but they know it takes around three to six
months for get treated. There are some persons who said that brain injuries are not serious
problem and can be treated in one and more than one week for treatment of brain injuries.

CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 Conclusion
From the above conducted research, it can be concluded that brain injuries are a very
severe type of injury which is caused to a person in various cases like fall down from height,
accidents etc. There are so many kinds of brain injuries which can be caused to a human being
and they are like Hematoma, Hemorrhage, concussion, Edema etc. It has been found out that
brain injury is often termed as invisible disability and there are no signs and physical symptoms
of this disease. So,, the various kinds of changes that are being seen in an individual who is
suffering from a brain injury are like:
SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS- This is a very common factor which appears after a
brain injury. In this, various tactics are being implemented so as to make the person remember
their name and important things as well.
POOR CONCENTRATION AND ATTENTION- In this, the person is not fixed on one
task and keeps on changing. They become rude and lazy as well.
SLOWED RESPONSES- Here, the person is not able to give quick responses to the
questions that are being asked to them. They are not able to intake too much information at one
time as well.
So, these can be considered as few implications that are being caused to a person who is
suffering from a brain disease. Therefore, these kinds of patients are required to be kept under
extra care so that they can recover soon and also they should be recommended to brain
specialist’s doctors as well so that they can treat them appropriately.
5.2 Recommendations
According to the research report, it can be recommended that if any individual is suffering
from any kind of brain injury then they should go and see a doctor as fast as they can so that that
their injury can be cured on time otherwise the patient may lose their life as well. There are
various types of treatments that are available for treating the patients of brain injury. The ways
are like medications, surgeries, therapies, specialists etc. It is recommended that the patient
should adopt that treatment which is best for them so that they can get cured as soon as possible.
The patients should be given the environment in which they feel comfortable so that they behave
in a proper manner and doesn’t get irritated. Their food and other habits will also need to be
20

changed and proper care is required to be taken so that appropriate results can be seen in a
person.
