Abstract

Caregiver burden is experienced by a significant number of caregivers of survivors of acquired brain injury (ABI). It is known that self-awareness can impact functioning following ABI. However, the impact of self-awareness on caregiver burden has not been established. To investigate the relationship between self-awareness and caregiver burden following ABI. We studied 57 patient-caregiver pairs up to 28 years post-discharge from a post-acute comprehensive holistic milieu-oriented neurorehabilitation program. The Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory-4 (MPAI-4) was completed by survivors of ABI and their caregivers. Discrepancies in reports between survivors of ABI and their caregivers were used to determine self-awareness. Additionally, caregivers completed the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). Survivors of ABI with impaired self-awareness reported significantly higher levels of functioning than survivors of ABI with unimpaired self-awareness (p <  0.001). Unimpaired self-awareness (p <  0.001) and lower survivor self-reported MPAI-4 Total Score (p <  0.001) significantly predicted caregiver burden. Survivors of ABI's level of functioning and their level of self-awareness significantly impacted caregiver burden. Survivors of ABI wit...Continue Reading
