Abstract	Objective—To determine relationships between chronic stress, fatigue-related quality of life (QOL-F) and related covariates after mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). Design—Observational and cross-sectional Participants—A total of 84 community-dwelling individuals with mild-to-moderate TBI recruited from multiple out-patient rehabilitation clinics assessed on average 15 months after injury. Method—Data were collected with self-report surveys and chart abstraction. Measures—Neurofunctional Behavioral Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale-14, Impact of Events Scale, McGill Pain Short-form Scale, and modified version of the Fatigue Impact Scale. Results—Fatigue-related quality of life was associated with somatic symptoms, perceived situational stress, but not with event-related stress (PTSD symptoms) related to index TBI, preinjury demographic, or post-injury characteristics. Somatic symptoms and chronic situational stress accounted for 42% of the variance in QOL (F). Conclusions—QOL (F) in community-dwelling individuals with mild-tomoderate TBI is associated with chronic situational stress and somatic symptoms. Symptom management strategies may need to include general stress management to reduce fatigue burden and improve quality of life.
