Objective: To asses the use, content and patient compliance concerning the waking advice (WA) given to non-professional care-givers of mild head injury patients (MHI).
Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: University Hospital Maastricht.
Method: Data were collected from 26 First Aid departments (FAD) of 8 university and 18 other hospitals to asses the use and content of WA. Indications for WA were investigated in 326 trauma capitis patients (TC). The compliance of non-professional care-givers of MHI were investigated by an inquiry among 61 TCs.
Results: All 26 FADs responded. The waking interval was 1-4 hours. Of 326 TCs, 180 had commotio cerebri. Seventy-four per cent of those patients were given a WA. Total compliance was 7% and partial compliance 55%. In patients who were instructed both orally and in writing compliance was best.
Conclusion: There was no consensus on use and content of WA. Double instruction (oral and written) gives the best compliance.
