社会支持是家庭成员创伤性脑损伤（TBI）后适应的重要决定因素。本研究旨在探讨社会支持在多大程度上调节受伤者的特征对照顾者主观幸福感的影响。60对持续中度至重度TBI的个体及其护理人员（N = 120）参与了研究。伤后年数为0.3 ~ 9.9年（M = 4.8，SD = 2.6）。认知，功能和神经行为功能的TBI参与者进行了评估，使用神经心理学测试和评级量表。照顾者的生活满意度和感知的社会支持进行了评估，使用自我报告问卷。结果表明，受伤后的时间与生活满意度无关。神经行为障碍与生活满意度呈负相关。社会支持是生活满意度的重要调节因子。只有在社会支持低的照顾者中，认知功能障碍与生活满意度呈负相关。同样，一个趋势表明，病人的不知道的赤字与照顾者的生活不满，只有低社会支持的照顾者。与此相反，这些特征与有足够社会支持的照顾者的生活满意度无关。
Social support is an important determinant of adjustment following traumatic brain injury (TBI) sustained by a family member. The present study examined the extent to which social support moderates the influence of characteristics of the person with injury on caregiver subjective well-being. Sixty pairs of individuals who had sustained a moderate to severe TBI and their caregivers (N = 120) participated. Years postinjury ranged from 0.3 to 9.9 (M = 4.8, SD = 2.6). Cognitive, functional, and neurobehavioral functioning of participants with TBI were assessed using neuropsychological tests and rating scales. Caregiver life satisfaction and perceived social support were assessed using self-report questionnaires. Results indicated that time since injury was unrelated to life satisfaction. Neurobehavioral disturbances showed an inverse relation with life satisfaction. Social support emerged as an important moderator of fife satisfaction. Only among caregivers with low social support was cognitive dysfunction adversely related to life satisfaction. Similarly, a trend suggested that patient unawareness of deficit was associated with caregiver life dissatisfaction only among caregivers with low social support. In contrast, these characteristics were unrelated to life satisfaction among caregivers with adequate social support.
