Thesis (Ph.D.)--State University of New York at Buffalo, 1996.

This doctoral research investigated dynamics of family responses to brain injury in cross-cultural contexts, with the emphasis on how families developed coping strategies over time and mobilized care resources. The research was conducted in Buffalo, New York, the United States and Beijing, the People's Republic of China. Participant observation and in-depth interviews were used as the major fieldwork methods, and the data collected in the fieldwork reflected the viewpoints of individuals with brain injury and their families. With the concept of adaptation commonly used in medical anthropology as the theoretical framework, this study documented the stages and mechanisms through which long-term adjustment to brain injury was achieved.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This doctoral research investigated dynamics of family responses to brain injury in cross-cultural contexts, with the emphasis on how families developed coping strategies over time and mobilized care resources. The research was conducted in Buffalo, New York, the United States and Beijing, the People's Republic of China. Participant observation and in-depth interviews were used as the major fieldwork methods, and the data collected in the fieldwork reflected the viewpoints of individuals with brain injury and their families. With the concept of adaptation commonly used in medical anthropology as the theoretical framework, this study documented the stages and mechanisms through which long-term adjustment to brain injury was achieved.
520 $a The findings from the American sample indicate that persons with brain injury and their families experienced different developmental stages and used different strategies to cope with changes in each stage. These stages include the stage of transition from hospital to home, the stage of one to five years post injury, and the stage of five to ten or more years post injury. In each stage, persons with brain injury and their families experienced different changes and problems, needed different kinds of information and support, and developed different coping strategies.
520 $a The findings from the Chinese sample show that although Chinese informants did not report stages similar to those reported by American informants, the former shared some similar feelings and concerns with the latter, e.g., shock, worries, denial, hope, and so on. However, Chinese informants had some concerns of their own such as economic difficulties or physical barriers. In addition, Chinese informants developed some different strategies and used some different resources to cope with brain injury, such as pluralistic health care measures and work-welfare system.
520 $a Comparisons were made between the two samples in terms of post injury experiences, care resources, and patterns of help seeking. One common issue faced by both samples was that family resources were becoming exhausted during the long-term care, and that more resources from the community needed to be cultivated.
