The spinal cord injury is a severe disabling syndrome, with significant neurological
disorders. It is characterized by neurovegetative disturbances of body segments located below
the injury by changes in motility, the superficial and deep sensitivity, although the SCI does
not necessarily evolve to death, but limits and cause complete change in style and life choices
of person affected. The increasing rate of traffic accidents and urban violence contribute to the
increase of people with serious neurological damage in the spine, a phenomenon with direct
impacts on the relationship of dependence on their victims with nursing care in a hospital
environment, and especially in post-discharge withfamily caregivers. This study aims to
analyze the difficulties experienced by family caregivers in patient care with TRM after
hospital discharge, identifying the main complications resulting from spinal cord injury,
addressing the importance of family caregivers in day to day and rehabilitation patient with
TRM and offer as a tool, a guide to basic care to the primary caregiver of patients suffering
with TRM. It is a study with data collection performed tir ¬ pair of secondary sources, by
Surveying Library ¬ graph. This study has a descriptive and exploratory, conducted from
March to November 2011. The role of family caregiver is of paramount importance to address
the limitations and react in the pursuit of balance impairment, disability, handicap and health
of clients, preparing it for the gradual achievement of functional gains and independence for
daily activities and self-care. Therefore, it was observed in the study, the importance and
necessity of health professionals at all levels of care, technical support, guidance and
monitoring of local family caregivers and patients so that they feel safe and supported in the
task of caringand be careful. We recommend our guide for the family caregiver guidelines in
order to help them as far as possible, to provide a more appropriate care for their relatives
