A close relative of 55 severely head injured adults (post-traumatic amnesia greater than or equal to 2 days) was interviewed 3, 6 and 12 months after injury to obtain information about psychosocial changes in the patient. The problems most frequently reported were emotional disturbances, poor memory, and subjective symptoms, with physical disability much less common. The amount of stress experienced by relatives did not diminish between 3 and 12 months, and was related to the incidence of mental and behavioural changes in the patient. The question of whether or not compensation was being claimed did not appear to influence the outcome.
对55名重度颅脑损伤成年人（创伤后遗忘症持续2天及以上）的一名近亲在其受伤后3个月、6个月和12个月进行了访谈，以获取有关患者心理社会变化的信息。最常报告的问题是情绪障碍、记忆力差和主观症状，身体残疾则不太常见。亲属所经历的压力在3至12个月间并未减轻，且与患者精神和行为变化的发生率有关。是否提出赔偿要求这一问题似乎并未影响结果。
