“…New circumstances related to living with injury/illness may have a significant impact on the quality and stability of the relationship. Research with individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), for example, has found that their personality and behavioural changes, expressed as aggression and disinhibition, may significantly affect the spousal relationship (Rieger, 2015).…”

“…Several studies have shown negative effects of caregiving on the quality of life of spouses of individuals with SCI (Chan, 2000;Weitzenkamp, Gerhart, Charlifue, Whiteneck, & Savic, 1997). Similarly, studies of TBI patients found that the changes in roles and the need to provide care to the injured person can contribute to radical changes in the relationship (Rieger, 2015). Further, the provision of personal care by female partners of those who suffered a severe head injury, and the experience of being in a caregiver/care-recipient relationship, also interferes with sexual feelings (Gosling & Oddy, 1999).…”

“…Interestingly, the healthy spouses rated their current marital satisfaction as significantly less than their brain-injured partners (Gosling & Oddy, 1999). Due to the disabilities experienced by partners with TBI and possibly due to their self-centeredness and unresponsiveness to the needs of the spouse, it has been suggested that the spouses can no longer confide in, or seek support from the person with the TBI, which significantly deteriorates their relationship (Rieger, 2015).…”

To date, the individual and familial consequences that may ensue following a workplace injury have not been fully examined. In this research, I examine how mental and physical workplace injuries influence personal and family outcomes, within a military organizational context. The results of Study 1 (N = 888) indicate that occupational injuries are related to psychological well-being, relationship with spouse, and relationship with children. Study 2 (N =1836) examines the relationship between injuries of military members and the well-being of military spouses. The results indicate that having an injured military member spouse is related to psychological distress, relationship satisfaction and emotional intimate partner violence. Furthermore, it appears that some of these effects are buffered when spouses have financial stability, a higher sense of organizational support, and satisfaction with the organization. This research contributes to the broad understanding of workplace injuries, and has implications for future research and practice.

“…The most vulnerable areas of the brain in closedhead trauma include the inferior frontal and anterior poles of the temporal lobes, areas that encompass executive functions and portions of the limbic system involved in emotional regulation (Jorge & Starkstein, 2005;Rieger, 2016). Post-TBI changes in behavior and emotional status commonly pose the single greatest challenge to brain injury rehabilitation (Prigatano, 1992).…”
