abstract = {Introduction One of the main limitations that can be
observed after acquired brain injury (ABI) is the alteration
of the awareness of the deficits that can occur in the
cognitive skills necessary for performing activities of daily
living (ADL). According to the Dynamic Comprehensive
Model of Awareness (DCMA), consciousness is composed
of offline component, which contains the information
stored about characteristics of the tasks and stable beliefs
about one’s own capabilities and online awareness, which
is activated in the context of the performance of a specific
task. The main objective of this project was to generate
and validate a detailed cognitive assessment protocol
within the context of ADL to evaluate the components of
DCMA.
Methods and analysis The proposed protocol consists
of two ecological tools: The Cog-Awareness ADL Scale to
measure offline component and the Awareness ADL-task:
Basic and Instrumental ADL performance-based test to
measure online awareness. The aim is to identify the
presence of cognitive deficits and anosognosia in patients
with ABI within the context of everyday life activities.
These two measures will be administered to a group
of patients with ABI. In addition, these participants will
complete another series of classic tests on anosognosia
and cognitive functions in order to find the convergent
validity of the two tests proposed in this protocol. The
external validity of the Cog-Awareness ADL Scale and the
relationships between awareness components within the
same ADL domain will be also analysed.
Ethics and dissemination This study was approved by
the Ethics Committee of Biomedical Research of Andalusia,
on 13 January /2017 (Proceeding 1/2017). All participants
are required to provide written informed consent. The
findings from this will be disseminated via scientific
publication.},
