Objectives: To determine predictors of self-esteem and behavioral outcome among siblings of children with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Design: Cross-sectional.
Participants: Thirty-nine siblings closest in age to a child who sustained moderate to severe TBI.
Primary Objective: This review aimed to identify main findings and critically evaluate literature that considered sibling outcomes following paediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) sustained by a brother or sister.
Methods: Qualitative and quantitative papers on the topic of TBI from PubMed and PsychINFO were reviewed. Identified literature was manually cross-referenced and all papers that identified siblings as the main subject of research or as secondary to research aims were included.
