I ntroduction : While individuals with mild and moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) manage to achieve some degree of successful return-to-work, individuals with severe TBI have a reduced chance of returning to work. This study aimed at investigating how personal factors, workplace environment and vocational rehabilitation influenced the return-to-work and assumption of the worker role of individuals with severe TBI. Method : A phenomenographic study design with purposive sampling was used to select 11 participants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews using the Worker Role Interview as a guide. Data were thematically analysed using Clarke and Braun’s six phases of thematic analysis. Results : Two themes emerged: It’s all about me, which addressed the internal aspects of the role of a worker and The support for me which focused the external factors of personal, work and rehabilitative support. Conclusion : Results showed that rehabilitation, personal factors and work support were critical for successful return-to-work for survivors of severe TBI. Results indicated that participation in work was as important in developing self-worth as participation in any other area of daily living. With regard to personal factors, rehabilitation and support were vital in maintaining self-worth after an injury. This could be enhanced through vocational rehabilitation
