主要结局
Family Needs Questionnaire (FNQ)
时间窗: pre-treatment, post-treatment, 3 mo. follow-up
The Family Needs Questionnaire (FNQ) is a widely used 40-item self-report questionnaire developed to measure family members' perceived needs after a family member sustains a brain injury. The items were designed to address diverse psychosocial and educational needs apparent in the acute and post-acute phases after injury. Family members rate the degree to which they perceive that each need has been met (not met, partly met, or met). A factor analytic investigation revealed six independent factors comprising six scales: Health Information, Emotional Support, Instrumental Support, Professional Support, Community Support Network, and Involvement with Care. The proportion of needs described as met (converted to a 10 point scale) was the primary family outcome measure.
