Female relatives of defined groups of consecutive male minor and severe head injury victims were seen at home 3 months after the injury. The relatives of the severely injured suffered significant psychiatric morbidity compared to the minor head injury relatives. They also showed poorer functioning in social roles associated with the home. There was no difference in the vulnerability of either wives or mothers of the head injury victims. It is argued that there is a need for support for the relatives of those who have suffered severe brain injury.
在连续的男性轻度和重度头部受伤受害者特定群体的女性亲属受伤3个月后,对她们进行了家访。与轻度头部受伤者的亲属相比,重伤者的亲属有明显的精神疾病发病率。她们在与家庭相关的社会角色中也表现出较差的功能。头部受伤受害者的妻子或母亲在易感性方面没有差异。有人认为,需要为重度脑损伤患者的亲属提供支持。
