Detailed description

This is a prospective observational pilot study designed to evaluate feasibility and acceptability as well as preliminary efficacy of a behavioral activation intervention among orthopaedic trauma patients after discharge home following their injury. Behavioral activation is a behavioral treatment that focuses on helping participants engage in more rewarding and enjoyable activities. In the first session, participants will begin to identify domains of their life which are important to them. In the second session, participants will be assisted in creating an action plan to engage in more activities in one or more domains of importance. In session 3-8, participants will be assisted in problem solving any challenges they encountered in implementing their previous action plan and will develop a new action plan. The intervention will continue until participants achieved three action plans or reach the eight-session limit, whichever comes first.
