“…Furthermore, the Aftercare Problem List showed that burn survivors who sustained their injury more than 6 months ago had higher concerns relating to 'body perceptions', 'stigmatization', and 'mental health'. This finding corroborates studies that indicate the long-term impact on psychosocial functioning after sustaining burns [32]. It also emphasizes the relevance of screening for this type of problem, particularly in burn survivors who visit the outpatient clinic months to years after their burn injury.…”

A growing interest in person-centered care from a biopsychosocial perspective has led to increased attention to structural screening. The aim of this study was to develop an easy-to-comprehend screening instrument using single items to identify a broad range of health-related problems in adult burn survivors. This study builds on earlier work regarding content generation. Focus groups and expert meetings with healthcare providers informed content refinement, resulting in the Aftercare Problem List (APL). The instrument consists of 43 items divided into nine health domains: scars, daily life functioning, scars treatment, body perceptions, stigmatization, intimacy, mental health, relationships, financial concerns, and a positive coping domain. The APL also includes a Distress Thermometer and a question inquiring about preference to discuss the results with a healthcare provider. Subsequently, the APL was completed by 102 outpatients. To test face validity, a linear regression analysis showed that problems in three health domains, i.e., scars, mental health, and body perceptions, were significantly related to higher distress. Qualitative results revealed that a minority found the items difficult which led to further adjustment of the wording and the addition of illustrations. In summation, this study subscribes to the validity of using single items to screen for burn-related problems.

“…Physical pain caused by burn injuries can result in emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression [2]. According to a retrospective study [3], burn injuries are signi cantly associated with the incidence rate of individual mental disorders. ey also seriously compromise the quality of daily life of patients by triggering heat sensitivity, pain, physical and emotional dysfunction, and others [4].…”

Objective. This study was designed to understand the local changes of burn injuries in recent 10 years, so as to provide reliable reference data and viewpoints for prevention and vigilance of local burn injuries. Methods. In this study, 184 patients with a burn injury admitted to our hospital from 2012 to 2021 were enrolled and analyzed retrospectively. According to their information in the electronic database, the number of patients with burn injuries and the location of each disaster each year were analyzed, and the age, sex, hospital stay and hospitalization expense of each patient were collected. With 5 years as the boundary, the patients were divided into a 2012–2016 group and a 2017–2021 group and the differences of the two groups in the abovementioned aspects were compared. Results. During 2012–2021, the incidence rate of burn injuries in men was higher than that in women and workplaces had a higher burn injury rate than residents’ homes. Compared with the period of 2012–2016, the number of fires or explosions and the number of patients with a burn injury during 2017–2028 both increased, but there was no significant change in disaster location, male-female ratio, age, average hospital stay, and average hospitalization expense. Conclusion. In the face of the increasing prevalence of burn injuries, we should strengthen fire-fighting knowledge-related education and fire prevention management and actively explore post-burn injury treatment strategies and potential treatment targets to promote the development of burn injury management and treatment strategies.

“…As reported in a 5-year follow-up study of 18,198 patients after burn injury, 29.4% of them developed at least one type of psychiatric disorders. In addition to anxiety disorders, the results revealed that burn injuries are associated with depression, severe stress disorders, and somatoform disorders [ 9 ]. However, the mechanisms underlying vulnerability to depression and stress disorders following severe burn injuries remain unclear.…”
