I am using the integrated model of psychological response. The model says that there is a correlation between the cognitive appraisal of an injury, emotional response to injury and behavioral response that injury influences. The integrated model takes into account both pre-injury and post injury factors. I like that the model does not believe that the cognitive appraisal model and grief-response models are mutually exclusive. I chose this model because I like that it takes into account many factors such as pre injury and post injury.

Dan Torf was a proclaimed “baseball geek” with a dream of becoming the GM of the New York Yankees ever since he was in high school. He knew the most random facts and statistics of the MLB that not many people would even think of. Because of this passion for baseball and the fact that he knew he wanted to work in sports, he applied locally to schools with Sport Management programs and was grateful to get into UConn. During his time in college, he had many internships, including one that I also had the pleasure of committing my time to, the Connecticut Sun game day internship.
When Joe Johnson left the October 30 game against the Dallas Mavericks, trainers originally assumed he had a wrist sprain. Unfortunately, the Utah Jazz player 's injury is more serious than a sprain.

Luke Kuechly, a first round draft pick in 2012, is a 25 year old linebacker for the Carolina Panthers. Kuechly is obviously one of the best inside linebackers to play the game as he has already made three trips to the Pro Bowl, was awarded First-Team All-Pro selection three times, and was named Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2012. He has a clear passionate for the game, yet the star may be closer to retirement than he and his fans hope. Kuechly has already received two threatening concussions in his past two seasons that would likely negatively impact his future health and well-being. Fans wait in fear to see if their star defender will ever return to the game.
The first step in achieving recovery through WRAP is to develop a wellness toolbox, which is a list of skills and tools to help the patient cope. The nurse will have a big role in helping the patient identify their strength or weaknesses, as well as helping them identify their support system. Some patient respond better to alone time, so the nurse might suggest journaling, listening to music, exercising, others need social interaction, so suggesting their join a peer group, team sport, or talking to a support person might be better for them. In order to help keep the patient’s autonomy during times of crises, the WRAP has 5 other steps on the road to recovery, including a daily maintenance list, which is a three-part list describing the patient’s feelings, listing a set of tools from the wellness toolbox they are going to utilize that day to maintain their wellness, and then a simple to do list. This type of strategy helps to keep the patient accountable, and as nurses, it is our responsibility to encourage the patients to follow and maintain certain standard to ensure they are compliant to their recovery model.

Concussions can cause serious harm to your brain and affect it long term if you don 't allow your brain time to heal properly. Student athletes are more prone to concussions than older people and take longer for their brains to heal. Athletes recovering from a concussion should be required by law to sit out for extended periods of time to recover fully. Athletes in high school could suffer from severe consequences from a brain injury if returned to play early and they could suffer long term effects if they don 't allow their brain to thoroughly heal. Other people might think that students should be able to decide when they feel healed enough to return to activities, or that students can wear protective gear when they play to keep their head safe and minimize any injury chances.

Post-concussion syndrome can include headaches, dizziness, irritability, difficulty focusing or completing tasks, etc. (Long).Because of safety precautions sports leagues are unwilling to take, people will suffer from serious physical, cognitive, and emotional problems.
