=== Caregivers === Coma has a wide variety of emotional reactions from the family members of the affected patients, as well as the primary care givers taking care of the patients. Research has shown that the severity of injury causing coma was found to have no significant impact compared to how much time has passed since the injury occurred.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Qadeer |first1=Anam |last2=Khalid |first2=Usama |last3=Amin |first3=Mahwish |last4=Murtaza |first4=Sajeela |last5=Khaliq |first5=Muhammad F |last6=Shoaib |first6=Maria |title=Caregiver's Burden of the Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury |journal=Cureus |date=21 August 2017 |volume=9 |issue=8 |pages=e1590 |doi=10.7759/cureus.1590 |doi-access=free |pmc=5650257 |pmid=29062622 }}</ref> Common reactions, such as desperation, anger, frustration, and denial are possible. The focus of the patient care should be on creating an amicable relationship with the family members or dependents of a comatose patient as well as creating a rapport with the medical staff.<ref>{{cite web|title=Caring for Care Giver and Family|author=Coma Care|date=2010-03-30|access-date=2010-12-08|url=http://www.comacare.com/cgi-bin/giga.cgi}}{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Although there is heavy importance of a primary care taker, secondary care takers can play a supporting role to temporarily relieve the primary care taker's burden of tasks.
