People Caring for a Family Member with a Traumatic Brain Injury Can Benefit from Self-Care Supports
Researchers at the University of Washington Traumatic Brain Injury Model System Center wanted to find out who is most likely to become a primary caregiver to a TBI survivor, how caring for someone with a TBI affects the caregiver’s involvement in their own life activities, and what resources caregivers use for support. They also wanted to know what kinds of concerns caregivers most likely have during the first months after the TBI.
