| Popis: | A social network is a support system in which one can obtain assistance for simple daily needs and in emergency situations. A diminished social network can result in failure to integrate into normalized environments. The results of this investigation clearly showed that social networks among a group of 70 people who were traumatically brain injured had significantly fewer members than a control group of non-injured respondents. Additionally, the make-up of social networks was different. Specifically, respondents who were traumatically brain injured had social networks consisting mainly of family and staff members of the rehabilitation facility, while non-injured respondents had mostly friends or acquaintances, coworkers, and family members, in that order. |
