Factors affecting the caregiver burden following traumatic brain injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common causes of death and disability with a wide spectrum of symptoms that range from mild to severe in children and adults (1). TBI can cause many medical, physical, cognitive, behavioral, emotional, social, and economic difficulties. It has a profound effect on the lives of patients and their families (2). Thus, continuity of patient care is of great importance for the patient, the patient’s family, and the health care system during both the acute and chronic periods of patients with TBI.
