Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between brain injury-related family stress and family adaptation. Participants were 92 primary caregivers of persons with brain injuries recruited through the Head Injury Foundation of Alabama. Stepwise multiple regression of variables measuring family stress on family adaptation indicated that the affective and behavioral functioning of the member with the brain injury was predictive of family adaptation. The hypothesis that family adaptation can be predicted from variables measuring brain injury-related family stress was thus supported. Family intervention and rehabilitation practice implications are discussed.
