“…Among the survivors, 80,000 to 90,000 individuals are left with significant long-term cognitive and motor disabilities (Jacobs, 1988;Max, Rice, & MacKenzie, 1990;McKinlay, Brooks, Bond, Martinage, & Marshall, 1981;Rutland-Brown, Langlois, Thomas, & Xi, 2006;Thomsen, 1984;Thurman, Alverson, Dunn, Guerrero, & Sniezek, 1999). However, efforts to identify the neuropathologic correlates of these deficits have gained only limited success to date (Bigler, 2001a;Levine et al, 2006).…”

When the caregiver or close family member experiences lower burden, less anxiety and a good health, this has a positive impact on the person with severe TBI (O'Neill & Carter, 1998).…”

“…Les auteurs rapportent des niveaux de dépression (Douglas & Spellacy;Gillen et al, 1998;Hawley et al, 2003;Kreutzer et al, 1994a;Livingston, 1987;Ponsford, Olver, Ponsford, & Nelms, 2003;Marsh, Kersel, Havill, & Sleight, 1998a;Marsh et al, 2002;Turner et al, 2007;) et d'anxiété cliniquement significatifs (Hawley et al, 2003;Kreutzer et al, 1994a;Livingston, 1987;Marsh et al, 1998a;Marsh et al, 2002;Ponsford et al, 2003). Ces états psychopathologiques et le stress chez l'aidant sont particulièrement sévères durant la première année suivant le TCC (Gillen et al, 1998;Livingston et al, 1985;Marsh et al, 1998a;Marsh et al, 2002;McKinlay, Brooks, Bond, Martinage, & Marshall, 1981). Des auteurs estiment l'incidence de la dépression à plus de 60 % chez les aidants (Douglas & Spellacy, 2000).…”

“…Elle peut également consister en un amalgame de symptômes cognitifs, comportementaux, émotionnels et psychophysiologiques (Dohrenwend, Shrout, Egri & Mendelsohn, 1980 Les modifications se produisant au niveau de la personnalité (Brooks et al, 1986;Gillen et al, 1998;Herbert, 2007;Knight et al, 1998;Kreutzer et al, 1994a;McKinlay et al, 1981), de l'humeur (Ergh et al, 2002;Gillen et al, 1998;Groom, Shaw, O'Connor, Howard, & Pickens, 1998;Kreutzer et al, 1994a;Knight et al, 1998;Livingston et al, 2010;Marsh et al, 1998a;Marsh et al, 2002;McKinlay et al, 1981;McPherson, Pentland, & McNaughton, 2000;Sander 2007) et du comportement chez la victime (Ergh et al, 2002;Gillen et al, 1998;Groom et al, 1998;Harris, Godfrey, Partridge & Knight, 2001;Riley, 2007) causeraient une détresse psychologique chez l'aidant. Les états pathologiques chez la victime de TCC ont un impact sur la satisfaction de l'aidant à l'égard de la vie (Wells, Dywan & Dumas, 2005) et accentuent le fardeau que doit porter l'aidant (Sander, 2007).…”
