To describe and compare caregivers' and patients' helpfulness and goal attainment ratings of the Brain Injury Family Intervention (BIFI), and qualitatively evaluate their perceptions of most important things learned.
76 caregivers and 76 patients with acquired brain injury participated in the BIFI, a structured family intervention program which includes educational, skill building, and psychological support components. Outcome measures were obtained following each of the five intervention sessions and following completion of the entire program.
Session helpfulness ratings for caregivers and patients were uniformly high as were ratings of the extent to which session goals were met. Between group comparisons did not indicate differences for individual session helpfulness or goal attainment ratings. Qualitative analysis of most important things learned provided corroboratory evidence that BIFI topics were relevant and consistent with program goals.
The present investigation provides evidence that the BIFI is perceived as helpful and that treatment methods facilitate achievement of goals. The investigation also suggests that investigators may benefit from using mixed methods to evaluate outcomes, complementing traditional quantitative methods with qualitative approaches.
描述和比较照顾者和患者对脑损伤家庭干预（BIFI）的帮助和目标达成的评价，并对他们对所学最重要内容的看法进行定性评估。
76 名照顾者和 76 名获得性脑损伤患者参加了 BIFI，这是一个结构化的家庭干预计划，包括教育、技能培养和心理支持组件。在五次干预会议结束后和整个项目完成后，都获得了结果测量。
照顾者和患者的会议帮助程度评分都很高，会议目标的实现程度评分也很高。组间比较表明，个别会议的帮助程度或目标达成程度评分没有差异。对最重要内容的定性分析提供了佐证证据，表明 BIFI 的主题是相关的，符合项目目标。
本研究提供了证据表明，BIFI 被认为是有帮助的，并且治疗方法有助于实现目标。该研究还表明，研究人员可能受益于使用混合方法评估结果，用定性方法补充传统的定量方法。
