- Nearly half of trauma patients, even those without brain injuries, experience social deficits that make it harder for them to interact with friends and stay involved in the community, a recent study suggests.
For the current study, researchers followed 805 adults hospitalized for moderate to severe traumatic injuries. During the year after the injury, 364 of them, or 45per cent, reported experiencing social dysfunction. In addition, people with social dysfunction were over 16 times more likely to have post-traumatic stress disorder than those without social dysfunction, and about five and a half times more likely to have not returned to work after their accident.
The study lacked data on social functioning before patients' injuries, and it's possible that some people had impairments beforehand, the study team notes.
