创伤性脑损伤（TBI）是儿童和青少年死亡和永久残疾的主要原因。尽管认知和行为方面的影响已经在所有程度的儿童创伤性脑损伤严重程度中得到了报道，但其他可能相关的功能方面（如心理社会适应）却被忽视了。在本研究中，通过比较27名TBI儿童和27名对照，评估了TBI的社会和行为影响。创伤性脑损伤儿童表现出明显较低的自尊和适应行为，而较高的孤独、适应不良行为和攻击/反社会行为。这些发现证实了先前证明的脑损伤对儿童行为功能的有害影响，并为脑损伤对儿童社会功能的有害影响提供了新的证据。
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and permanent disability in children and adolescents. Although cognitive and behavioural effects have now been reported for all degrees of TBI severity in children, other aspects of functioning which might be related (such as psychosocial adjustment), have been neglected. In the present study the social and behavioural effects of TBI were assessed by comparing 27 TBI children with 27 controls. TBI children demonstrated significantly lower levels of self-esteem and adaptive behaviour, and higher levels of loneliness, maladaptive behaviour and aggressive/antisocial behaviour. These findings confirm the previously demonstrated detrimental effects of TBI on children's behavioural functioning and offer new evidence for the detrimental effects of TBI on children's social functioning.
