Does self-awareness influence caregiver burden?

CONCLUSIONS: Survivors of ABI's level of functioning and their level of self-awareness significantly impacted caregiver burden. Survivors of ABI with impaired self-awareness not only lack insight into their functional abilities but also tend to overestimate their capabilities; this likely contributes to the need for greater levels of supervision and worsened caregiver burden.
