简要总结
Acquired brain injury is a general term including trauma due to head injury or postsurgical damage, vascular accident such as stroke or subarachnoid hemorrhage, toxic or metabolic cause such as hypoglycemia, cerebral anoxia, and infection or inflammation. However acquired brain injury leaves survivors with a considerable burden of physical, cognitive, emotional,behavioural and psychosocial limitations,these individuals often require healthcare, supervision, and support from professional or informal caregivers in some or all of their lives. Therefore, this study have two primary aims: (1) to conclude the level of caregiver's life satisfaction and strain; and (2) to determine the factors predicting strain among the caregivers. İnvestigators believe this study can add to the literature and create awareness on the current state of caregiver's well-being in this part of the world.
详细描述
Patients will evaluate with respect to their demographic and clinical determinants. In the patient group, ambulation status, disability levels, cognitive status, neurobehavioral results, functional status will evaluate with the Functional Ambulation Classification Scale (FACS), Disability Rating Scale (DRS), Rancho Los Amigos Cognitive Scale-Revised (RLAS-R), Neurobehavioral Rating Scale-Revised (NBRS-R), Functional Independence Measure (FIM) respectively. All assessments will conduct and evaluate by the treating physicians during hospitalization.
İnvestigators also will record the type of caregiving (family member or paid professional) and socio-demographic characteristics of the caregivers . Sleep quality will be determined with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality İndex (PSQI), quality of life with NHP (Nottingham Health Profile), level and risk of anxiety and depression with Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, satisfaction level with The Satisfaction with Life Scale , care burden with Caregiver Strain Index (CSI).

结局指标
主要结局
Functional Independence Measure (FIM)
时间窗: through study completion, an average of one and a half months
The FIM measures functional independence with 18 items that assess Self-care (six items), Mobility (seven items), and Cognition (five items). Items are scored 1 through 7 with a score of 1 representing complete dependence and a score of 7 indicating complete independence. The items are summed to obtain a total score ranging from 18 to 126.
Caregiver Strain Index (CSI)
时间窗: through study completion, an average of one and a half months
CSI is a 13-item, self-administered objective questionnaire designed to assess level of stress experienced by the informal caregivers. Participants had to answer all the items as either YES or NO. The scoring was one (1) point for each answer of 'YES' and zero (0) for each answer of 'NO'. The question scores were summed with the maximum score of 13. This score was then divided into 'having strain' (score of ≥7) and 'no strain' (score of \<7).
The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS)
时间窗: through study completion, an average of one and a half months
The SWLS (Satisfaction With Life Scale) provides a global measure of satisfaction with life as an overall summation of a person. It consists of five questions rated on a 7-point Likert scale, from 'strongly agree' (response option 7) to 'strongly disagree' (response option 1). In agreement with previous studies the scores are summed to a total score ranging from 5 to 35. A score of 20 represents the midpoint between satisfied and dissatisfied with life.
