Abstract

Aim of the Study: The aim of this study is to help the professionals to understand what it means for families to be confronted with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

Materials and Methods: We performed a literature review on the scales used for caregivers of head trauma patients and related psychological constructs. This study analyzed the life of the family and reactions to stress event such as head trauma.

Results: The scientific literature on this topic, however, is poorly organized, and general articles are rare. Furthermore, although several specific aspects of the impact of brain trauma on the family system were analyzed, others were overlooked.

Conclusions: Recent state of the science reports have acknowledged the importance of family intervention and have encouraged researchers to conduct studies that benefit caregivers.
