The purpose of this study is to investigate the change lives and need for help that people suffering from higher brain dysfunction after stroke and their families have. Interviews and a questionnaire survey performed.
Interviews conducted with 16 families of the above state revealed that a wide range of matters had considerable influences on their lives and changed family relationships. Memory loss and personal/functional disturbance were not only embarrassing for the patient, but completely altered the patient's life as well as his/her family's.

ve of absence, relocation, occupational change, and new employment; (3) 50% experienced reduction in income; and (4) 3.4% resulted in separation or divorce after the onset of higher brain dysfunction. More than 60% of the respondents expressed the need for medical care and public welfare services, including special rehabilitation training, counseling services or medical centers to seek advice, and relevant information. More than 70% desired the expansion of social welfare services and continued rehabilitation. As for support to care-givers, more than 50% of them answered that they needed short-or long-term residential care services to take rests, places to talk with other care-givers, and someone to listen to their problems and worries.
In conclusion, the investigation showed that the following specific need for help should be addressed as soon as possible for patients with post-stroke higher brain dysfunction and their families: (1) expansion and reinforcement of specialized medical centers and rehabilitation institutions; (2) improvement in accessibility to professional information; (3) promotion for public financial support and enhancement of vocational training facilities; (4) social systems to support care-givers.
