Results: The main findings of the study there was statistically significant improvement of self-care knowledge related to burn management after implementing self-care model. There was statistically significant improvement of self-esteem and QOL among burn patients post-intervention than pre-intervention. Conclusions: The overall findings in the present study revealed that implementing self-care nursing intervention model at burn unit was effective when providing care as it encouraged patient to be an active participant in care and had a significant improvement of self-care management, self-esteem and QOL among burn patients. Recommendations: The self-care theory has shown to be the basis when providing nursing care as it helps in promoting therapeutic communication and trust relationship between the patient and the nurse so that encourage nurses to work and providing care with nursing theories.

Ö ÖZ ZE ET T Yanık, çocukların ve ailelerin normal yaşam sürecini ani bir şekilde bozmaktadır. Çocuklar ve aileleri için yanık; fiziksel, psikolojik ve genel görüntü değişiklikleri ile yaşamayı öğrenmesi açı-sından zordur. Çocuk yanıklarının rehabilitasyonu tedavi sonrasında tekrarlayan travmaya alışma, normal aktivitelerine dönme, kalıcı skar ile baş etme, davranış değişiklikleri, aileye ve sosyal çev-reye uyum sağlamayı içermektedir. Aile ilişkilerinin kaybı, korku ve suçluluk duygusu ailenin rehabilitasyonunu olumsuz etkilemektedir. Ebeveynler çocuğun bakımında yalnız olması nedeni ile ailelerinin desteklerine gereksinim duymaktadır. Bunun sonucunda ailelerde anksiyete ve stres arttığı için depresyon da görülebilmektedir. Çocukların ve ailelerinin yanık sonrası uyumunu kolaylaştıran en önemli etmenlerden biri olan destek grupları, yaşanan sorunlar ile başa çıkabilmeyi sağlamakta ve ailelerin stresini azaltmaktadır. Destek grup girişimleri; akranlardan, profesyonellerden ve internet üzerinden alınan desteklerin bütünüdür. Çocuklara ve ailelere verilen desteğin fiziki, psikolojik ve sosyal alanlarda olumlu etkileri bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle yanık sonrası yapı-lan destek girişimleri yanıkla mücadelede yeni bakış açısı getirmekte ve gelecekle ilgili umutları güç-lendirmektedir. Bu durum da yanık sonrası çocuklara ve ailelere olumlu yönde rehabilitasyon sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, yanıklı çocuklar ve aileleri üzerine destek grup girişimlerinin etkilerini açıklamak ve hemşirelerin destek grup girişimlerindeki rollerinin önemini vurgulamak amaç-lanmıştır.A An na ah h t ta ar r K Ke e l li i m me e l le er r: : Yanık; destek grup; rehabilitasyon; çocuk ve aile, hemşire A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T Burns alter children's and their families' normal life processes suddenly. For children, burns are hard to accept due to accompanying physical and psychological changes and to learn how to live with the generally altered appearance caused by burns. Burns in children include getting used to trauma that repeats post treatment, getting back to normal activities, coping with permanent post burn scars and adapting to behavioral changes, family and social environment. Families are also negatively affected from burns due to loss of family relationships, fear and feelings of guilt. Since families are alone in terms of child care, they need parent and family support and may experience depression due to increased anxiety and stress levels. Support groups, one of the most important factors that facilitate post burn adaptation for children and families allows coping with problems and decreases stress levels experienced by families. Support groups initiatives is defined as the total support received from peers, professions and online and it has positive effects on physical health and wellbeing. Therefore, post burn support groups approaches bring new perspectives to burn treatment and strengthen hopes for the future which all contribute to positive psycho-social rehabilitation of children and families.

Pediatric Facial Burns: Is Facial Transplantation the New Reconstructive Psychosurgery?

Introduction Current pediatric burn care has resulted in survival being the expectation for most children. Composite tissue allotransplantation in the form of face or hand transplantation may present opportunities for reconstructive surgery of patients with burns. The present paper addresses the question “Could facial transplantation be of therapeutic benefit in the treatment of pediatric burns associated with facial disfigurement?” Methods Therapeutic benefit of facial transplantation was defined in terms of psychiatric adjustment and quality of life (QOL). To ascertain therapeutic benefit, studies of pediatric burn injury and associated psychiatric adjustment and QOL in children, adolescents and adults with pediatric burns, were reviewed. Results Pediatric burn injury is associated with anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder and depressive disorders. Many patients with pediatric burns do not routinely access psychiatric care for these disorders, including those for psychiatric assessment of suicidal risk. A range of QOL outcomes were reported; four were predominantly satisfactory and one was predominantly unsatisfactory. Discussion Facial transplantation may reduce the risk of depressive and anxiety disorders other than post-traumatic stress disorder. Facial transplantation promises to be the new reconstructive psychosurgery, because it may be a surgical intervention with the potential to reduce the psychiatric suffering associated with pediatric burns. Furthermore, patients with pediatric burns may experience the stigma of disfigurement and psychiatric conditions. The potential for improved appearance with facial transplantation may reduce this ‘dual stigmata’. Studies combining surgical and psychiatric research are warranted.
