Methods From October,2022 to June,2023,101 brain injury inpatients and their spouses in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital com-pleted the questionnaire of Dyadic Coping Inventory,Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale and World Health Organi-zation Quality of Life.
Results The level of CDC between patients and their spouses significantly positively correlated with their marital satis-faction for both partners(β = 0.814,P<0.001),as well as correlated with their quality of life(β = 0.271,P = 0.038;β = 0.481,P<0.001).For the dimensions of QOL,the physical,psychological,social relationship and en-vironmental dimensions significantly positive correlated with the CDC for the spouses,and only psychological and social relationship dimensions for the patients.
