Recovery from a mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a challenging process for injured persons and their families. Guided by attachment theory, we investigated whether relationship conflict, social support, or sense of belonging were associated with psychological functioning. Community-dwelling persons with TBI (N = 75) and their relatives/significant others (N = 74) were surveyed on relationship variables, functional status, and TBI symptom severity. Results from this cross-sectional study revealed that only sense of belonging was a significant predictor of postinjury psychological functioning, although interpersonal conflict approached significance. No relevant preinjury or injury-related variables impacted these relationships, except marital status. Our findings suggest that interventions targeting strengthening the injured persons' sense of belonging and lowering interpersonal conflict may benefit those living with TBI.
轻度至中度创伤性脑损伤（TBI）的康复对于受伤者及其家属来说是一个具有挑战性的过程。本研究以依恋理论为指导，探讨了关系冲突、社会支持或归属感是否与心理功能有关。对 75 名居住在社区的 TBI 患者及其亲属/重要他人（N=74）进行了关系变量、功能状态和 TBI 症状严重程度的调查。这项横断面研究的结果表明，只有归属感是受伤后心理功能的一个显著预测因素，尽管人际冲突也接近显著。除了婚姻状况外，没有任何相关的受伤前或受伤相关的变量影响这些关系。我们的研究结果表明，针对增强受伤者归属感和降低人际关系冲突的干预措施可能对那些患有 TBI 的人有益。
