这项调查的目的是确定当夫妻中的一方在一到五年前遭受脑损伤时，夫妻双方对整体生活满意度的共同看法。研究的重点是日常生活中的功能和残疾对脑损伤后夫妻共同生活满意度的影响。样本包括55对夫妇，脑损伤患者的平均年龄为51岁。这对夫妇中的两个人都回答了一份邮寄的问卷，其中包括关于感知损伤、活动限制、参与限制和生活满意度的问题。结果显示，在55对夫妻中，有16对夫妻双方都对生活整体感到满意。生活满意度的共同体验与夫妇在日常生活中的功能显著相关，特别是与他们在闲暇时间和社交生活中的感知参与以及他们洗衣服的能力有关。这项研究显示，只有三分之一的夫妇对康复感到满意，这一研究的重要意义在于，应该更大程度地将伴侣纳入康复过程，夫妻对他们难以处理的问题的看法应该作为康复过程中的指导。
The objective of this survey was to identify couples' joint perception of their satisfaction with life as a whole when one of the persons in the couple had acquired brain injury between one and five years earlier. The focus was on the influence that functioning and disability in everyday life have on the couple's joint life satisfaction after brain injury. The sample consisted of 55 couples, and the mean age of the brain-injured persons was 51 years. Both persons in the couple answered a mailed questionnaire encompassing questions concerning perceived impairments, activity limitations, participation restrictions, and life satisfaction. The results showed that in 16 of the 55 couples both partners were satisfied with life as a whole. The joint experience of life satisfaction was significantly related to the couple's functioning in everyday life, and specifically to perceived participation in leisure time and in their social life, and in their ability to wash clothes. Important implications from this study, showing that only one-third of the couples were satisfied, are that the partners should be included to a greater extent in the rehabilitation process and the couple's perspective of what they find difficult to deal with should serve as a guide during rehabilitation.
