abstract="Many of those sustaining head injury recover to the point that they no longer require hospital care. However, the family frequently has to cope with an individual with varying degrees of disability involving physical, psychological, cognitive and social dysfunctioning. This review of the literature briefly considers the possible effects that head injury may have for the injured person before going on to discuss the consequences that such an injury may have for the family of that individual. The family's need for information and education is highlighted and it is suggested that the nurse has an important role to play in this context.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
