AbstractThis study identified subtypes of psychosocial functioning in children who had sustained traumatic brain injury (TBI). Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) profiles for 92 participants, aged 12 to 18 years, who had sustained a mild, moderate, or severe TBI were subjected to Q-Factor analysis. Sixty-four of the participants (75%) were classified into a four-category psychosocial typology labelled Normal (n = 32), Attention (n = 14), Delinquent (n = 10), and Withdrawn–Somatic (n = 8). This typology was found to overlap in part with previous TBI psychosocial typology (Butler et al., 1997), and with three of the clinical profile types derived by Achenbach (1993) for the CBCL. The majority of participants, including those who sustained severe TBI, were assigned to the Normal subtype and the overall level of psychosocial deviance was relatively mild in the other three subtypes. The results of this study support previous typology efforts and confirm the heterogeneous presentation of social and emotional functioning following TBI. (JINS, 2003, 9, 887–898.)

Pediatric Tbi

Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a serious public health concern. Family members are often caregivers for children with TBI, which can result in a significant strain on familial relationships. Research is needed to examine aspects of family functioning in the context of recovery post-TBI, especially in Latin America, where cultural norms may reinforce caregiving by family members, but where resources for these caregivers may be scarce. This study examined caregiver-reported family satisfaction, communication, cohesion, and flexibility at three time points in the year post-injury for 46 families of a child with TBI in comparison to healthy control families. Families experiencing pediatric TBI were recruited from a large hospital in Guadalajara, Mexico, while healthy controls were recruited from a local educational center. Results from multilevel growth curve models demonstrated that caregivers of children with a TBI reported significantly worse family functioning than controls at each assessment. Families experiencing pediatric TBI were unable to attain the level of functioning of controls during the time span studied, suggesting that these families are likely to experience long-term disruptions in family functioning. The current study highlights the need for family-level intervention programs to target functioning for families affected by pediatric TBI who are at risk for difficulties within a rehabilitation context.
