Psychometric properties of the Danish version of the Caregiver Burden Scale: Investigating predictors and severity of burden after stroke, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury.

Objective: To investigate (i) psychometric properties of the Danish version of the Caregiver Burden Scale, (ii) predictors of burden in caregivers of persons with stroke, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury, and (iii) severity of caregiver burden, and compare level of severity of burden in caregivers of persons with stroke, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Participants: Pooled sample of 122 caregivers.

A manual-based family intervention for families living with acquired brain or spinal cord injury: a qualitative study of families' experiences.

Purpose: To explore families' experiences of participating in a family intervention, targeting families living with the consequences of acquired brain injury (ABI) or spinal cord injury (SCI).

Materials And Methods: Individuals with ABI or SCI and their family members were recruited from a randomised controlled trial investigating the effectiveness of the manual-based family intervention, which consisted of eight weekly sessions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 families ( = 33).

Investigating the Effectiveness of a Family Intervention after Acquired Brain or Spinal Cord Injury: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

(1) Background: Acquired brain injury (ABI) or spinal cord injury (SCI) constitutes a severe life change for the entire family, often resulting in decreased quality of life (QoL) and increased caregiver burden. The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a family intervention in individuals with ABI or SCI and in their family members. (2) Methods: An RCT of a family intervention group (FIG) vs.

Predictors of caregiver burden in caregivers of individuals with traumatic or non-traumatic brain injury: A scoping review.

Background: Caregivers of individuals with traumatic (TBI) or non-traumatic (nTBI) brain injuries are at risk of significant caregiver burden. Consequently, it is crucial to examine predictors of caregiver burden to enable early identification and intervention.

Objective: To examine predictors of caregiver burden in caregivers of individuals with TBI/nTBI.

Socioeconomic consequences of traumatic and non-traumatic spinal cord injuries: a Danish nationwide register-based study.

Study Design: A nationwide population-based register study.

Objectives: To investigate the socioeconomic consequences of traumatic (tSCI) and non-traumatic (ntSCI) spinal cord injuries (SCI) in relation to health care costs, risk of job loss, and divorce.

Setting: Denmark.

Socioeconomic Consequences of Traumatic Brain Injury: A Danish Nationwide Register-Based Study.

This study examined if acquiring a traumatic brain injury (TBI) increases utilization of health care costs, increases risk of job loss for the patient and the closest relatives, and increases the risk of divorce 1 to 5 years following the injury. The study was conducted as a Danish national population-based register study with follow-up. Participants included a cohort of patients with TBI ( = 18,328) admitted to a hospital or treated in an emergency room (ER) and a matching control group ( = 89,155).

A manual-based family intervention for families living with the consequences of traumatic injury to the brain or spinal cord: a study protocol of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Acquiring a traumatic injury constitutes a severe life change for the survivor, but also for the surrounding family. The paradigm of helping the family has primarily been on psychosocial interventions targeting caregivers. However, interventions including both survivor and caregivers should be an essential part of treatment, as the whole family's functional level and mental health can be affected.

Measuring Neurobehavioral Disabilities Among Severe Brain Injury Survivors: Reports of Survivors and Proxies in the Chronic Phase.

Neurobehavioral disability (NBD) has a major influence on long-term psychosocial outcome following acquired brain injury, as it affects not only the survivor of the brain injury, but the whole family. To investigate (1) the frequency of NBD among survivors of severe brain injury measured by the Danish version of the St Andrew's-Swansea Neurobehavioural Outcome Scale (SASNOS) rated by patients and proxies, (2) factors associated with NBD, and (3) concordance between reports of NBD completed by patients and proxies. SASNOS was administered at an outpatient unit as a part of a follow-up assessment after discharge from intensive neurorehabilitation.
