“…Substance abuse and psychiatric diseases have been associated with prolonged and frequently complicated in-hospital treatment, as well as prolonged and less successful rehabilitation postburn [ 8 , 9 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Compared to published data, the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities and substance-abuse disorders as documented in the hospital information system was fairly low.…”

“…Evidence suggests that besides injury severity and physical comorbidities, substance-abuse disorders and psychiatric comorbidities have an impact on social reintegration postburn. In addition, substance abuse and psychiatric diagnoses have been observed more frequently in burn patients [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. At present, it is not clear whether substance-abuse disorders are aggravated by burn injuries or not.…”

Background and Objectives: After burns, social reintegration is a primary long-term objective. At the same time, substance-abuse disorders are more common in burn patients. The aim of this study was to assess prevalence of substance abuse pre- and postburn as well as living situation and relationship status relative to patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Patients and Methods: Burn survivors treated as inpatients between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2019 were retrospectively identified. Collected clinical data included: age, gender, time since injury, burn extent (%TBSA), and substance abuse. Patient-reported living situation, relationship status, smoking habits, alcohol and drug consumption pre- and postburn as well as the SF-36 study were ascertained via telephone survey. Inductive statistical analysis comprised uni- and multivariate testing. A p < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: A total of 128 patients, 93 (72.7%) men, with a mean age of 40.0 ± 15.7 years were included. Mean TBSA was 9.2 ± 11.0% and significantly lower in women (p = 0.005). General health SF-36 scores were significantly lower in women (67.6 ± 29.8) than men (86.0 ± 20.8, p = 0.002). Smoking decreased from 38.8% pre- to 31.1% postburn. A significant reduction in alcohol consumption was noted over time (p = 0.019). The rate of never-drinkers was 18.0% pre- and 27.3% postburn. Drug abuse was rare both pre- (7.8%) and postburn (5.3%). Living situation remained stable. None of the participants depended on assisted living or lived in a care facility postburn. In total, 75.8% and 67.2% were in a relationship pre- and postburn. Patients with higher alcohol consumption postburn were significantly more often male (p = 0.013) and had higher SF-36 general health scores (p < 0.001). Conclusions: HRQoL is better in men than in women after burn injury. A slight decrease in substance abuse postburn was noted. The connection between HRQoL and substance abuse after burn injuries needs to be investigated further in the future.

“…Dificuldades psicológicas aparecem após a queimadura e sintomas depressivos são comuns (Nilsson et al, 2019). A questão do prejuízo emocional em queimados tem sido uma área ainda pouco explorada (Montarroyos;Cabana;Lima & Albuquerque, 2016) e indivíduos com patologias emocionais estão mais suscetíveis a queimaduras ou até a própria sequela pode predispor ao desenvolvimento de desordens mentais (Mahendraraj;Durgan & Chamberlain, 2016).…”
