“…For fathers, it may be that, as typical breadwinners, they continue in a more similar role following the ABI event while mothers' and spouses' roles and responsibilities increase with respect to the management of the person with ABI. Consistent with previous studies [21,22], the findings also indicate that siblings perceive their families to function less well than the normative sample.…”

“…Perlesz et al [18] studied the psychological well-being of primary, secondary and tertiary carers of individuals with TBI and found that tertiary carers may be in need of greater support than previously thought. Siblings and children of individuals with brain injury can experience clinically significant levels of distress [21] and sibling reports of greater family dysfunction have been noted in the literature [21,22]. Others have reported an increase in sibling conflict after brain injury [23,24].…”

“…» À ce sujet, il est reconnu que le soutien familial a un impact positif sur la récupération, lorsque celui-ci est adéquat. Un certain nombre d'études ont été menées au cours des dernières années, quelques-unes seulement portaient sur des adolescents TCC et leurs familles (Braga, Da Paz Jr et Ylvisaker, 2005;Bragg, Klockars et Berninger, 1992;LeonCarrion, Perino et Zitnay, 2006;Malec, 1993), mais plusieurs ont été réalisées auprès de la clientèle adulte souffrant de différents problèmes de santé (Fraser, 2006;Paquet, Bolduc, Xhignesse et Vanasse, 2005;Wong, Lai, Martinson et Wong, 2006). Celles-ci affirment toutes l'importance du soutien familial sur la récupération.…”

Cette étude qualitative a pour but d'explorer les perceptions d’adolescents, de leurs parents et de professionnelles quant à l'inclusion sociale d’adolescents ayant vécu un traumatisme craniocérébral (TCC) modéré. Le modèle écologique de Bronfenbrenner (1979, 1986), adapté par Lefebvre et Levert (2005) auprès de la clientèle TCC, est utilisé comme cadre de référence. Des entrevues semi-dirigées ont été réalisées auprès d’adolescents cérébrolésés et leurs parents. Les résultats montrent que les perceptions des familles portent sur différents aspects de leur vie, indiquant une multitude de répercussions qui facilitent ou contraignent l’inclusion sociale de l’adolescent TCC modéré. En général, les professionnelles partagent les mêmes perceptions qu’eux. Les résultats de cette étude devraient permettre aux professionnels de la santé une meilleure compréhension de l'inclusion sociale vécue par ces personnes, en plus d'offrir des balises permettant à ceux-ci de mieux soutenir l'inclusion sociale d’adolescents TCC et de venir en aide aux familles dans cette situation difficile.The intention of this qualitative study is to explore the way in which adolescents, their parents and professionals perceive the social inclusion of adolescents who have suffered a moderate craniocerebral trauma (CCT). Our terms of reference will be Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model (1979, 1986), as adapted by Lefebvre and Levert (2005) for use with a CCT case mix. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with brain-damaged adolescents and their parents. The results show that families’ perceptions touch on different aspects of their lives, pointing to a wide range of repercussions that may facilitate or restrict the social inclusion of an adolescent suffering from a moderate CCT. In general, professionals share these same perceptions. The results of the present study should offer health professionals a better understanding of social inclusion as experienced by these adolescents, while at the same time providing the former with guidelines allowing them to better support the social inclusion of CCT adolescents and to help families living through this difficult situation

“…Despite the significant impact of TBI on families and carers, this issue has not been addressed in papers published so far discussing the benefits and risks associated with DC. Standardized measures such as the Family Assessment Device [96] have been shown to be sensitive to changes within family function following TBI [89,97].…”
