目的探讨额叶功能的行为学测量方法--Brock适应性功能问卷（BAFQ）能否预测创伤性脑损伤（TBI）后的职业状况。设计采用判别函数分析法，以确定BAFQ与其他因素沿着预测创伤后职业状况的能力。和就业状况评定scale.ResultsA因子分析的BAFQ分量表显示两个因素，一个相关的功能在眶额区，和一个相关的背外侧额叶功能。这两个因素，沿着与背景信息，进入判别函数分析，揭示了77.4%的准确率在预测职业状况post-injury.ConclusionsDemographic变量被发现区分就业失业幸存者。BAFQ似乎有用的区分幸存者谁可能会回到他们受伤前的就业水平，从那些谁可能需要修改就业。
ObjectiveTo examine whether a behavioural measure of frontal lobe functioning, the Brock Adaptive Functioning Questionnaire (BAFQ), could predict employment status following traumatic brain injury (TBI).DesignA discriminant function analysis was conducted to determine the ability of the BAFQ, along with other factors, to predict occupational status post-injury.MethodsSixty-one TBI survivors completed a background information questionnaire, the BAFQ, and an employment status rating scale.ResultsA factor analysis of the BAFQ sub-scales revealed two factors, one related to functioning in the orbitofrontal area, and one related to dorsolateral frontal lobe functioning. These two factors, along with background information, were entered into a discriminant function analysis, revealing a 77.4% accuracy rate in predicting occupational status post-injury.ConclusionsDemographic variables were found to differentiate employed from unemployed survivors. The BAFQ appeared useful in differentiating survivors who may return to their pre-injury employment level from those who may require modified employment.
