Predictors of caregiver burden in caregivers of individuals with traumatic or non-traumatic brain injury: A scoping review

CONCLUSION: The results highlight which caregivers are at risk of caregiver burden and point to several areas of potential intervention to prevent caregiver burden. Future research should explore the relationship between characteristics of the caregiver and caregiver burden, including coping style, problem solving techniques, and personality, as these have been sparsely investigated and are potentially modifiable trough intervention. Further research is needed to elucidate if burden can be prevented by interventions targeting caregivers at risk. Addressing these gaps may clarify the link between caregiver burden and predictor variables and assist in development of interventions that may prevent burden.PMID:36617762 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-220134
