“…Since burn results in physical and emotional problems and increases interpersonal negative attitudes, it may increase depressive symptoms. Some studies demonstrated that burn injuries might lead to disorders in body image [22,27] and stigmatization [28]. Although the findings emphasized on necessity of psychiatric and psychological interventions in the survivors of burn injuries, further studies are of special importance considering factors affecting depression of such patients in order to identify interventional priorities among them.…”

Ab s t r a c tPurpose: To estimate the prevalence of depressive symptoms in patients surviving a burn injury. Methods:A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 burn inpatients (50 males and 50 females) admitted to Sina Burn Center; Tabriz University of Medical Sciences during 2012.The severity and grade of burn injury was evaluated by a dermatologist. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) was used to evaluate the existence and severity of depressive symptoms. Results:In this study, 56% of burn patients suffered from depressive symptoms. Among these, 38 (38%) patients were identified with low, 13 (13%) with moderate and 5 (5%) with severe depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms were reported in 20 (40%) males and 36 (72%) females. Moreover, depressive symptoms were observed in 15 (26.3%) patients with a total body surface area (TBSA) less than 30% and 41 (73.2%) with TBSA more than 30%. Conclusion:Depressive symptoms are common in burn patients and was twice as common among women. Psychological interventions along with the medical therapy should be provided for these patients.

“…Although studies have employed children and caregivers’ reports of perceived stigma [7, 8], only one pediatric study has examined caregiver-child congruence [10]. Results from this study suggest that caregivers may be unaware of their children’s perception of health-related stigma.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine: 1) the course of perceived epilepsy-related stigma among children newly-diagnosed with epilepsy (n=39) and their caregivers (n=97) over a two year period, 2) the influence of seizure absence/presence on children and caregivers’ perception of epilepsy-related stigma, and 3) congruence of child and caregiver perception of child epilepsy-related stigma. Participants completed a measure of perceived epilepsy-related stigma at three time points, and seizure status was collected at the final time point. Results indicated both caregivers (t1,76 = − 2.57 p< .01) and children with epilepsy (t1,29=−3.37, p< .01) reported decreasing epilepsy-related stigma from diagnosis to two years post-diagnosis. No significant differences were found in caregiver and child report of perceived stigma for children experiencing seizures as compared to children who have been seizure-free for the past year. Results revealed poor caregiver-child agreement of perceived epilepsy-related stigma at all three time points. These data suggest that while children with epilepsy initially perceive epilepsy-related stigma at diagnosis, their perception of stigma decreases over time. Having a better understanding of the course of epilepsy-related stigma provides clinicians with information regarding critical times to support families with stigma reduction interventions.

_____________________________________________________________________ RESUMO-Em 2010, o Instituto Nacional de Estatística de Portugal (INE) indicou que anualmente se realizam cerca de 40 000 médias e grandes cirurgias reconstrutiva e estética. Apesar da sua etiologia, justifica-se uma maior dedicação na investigação de indivíduos que por trauma ou doença perderam a sua "identidade" apresentando um desfiguramento facial. Pretende-se com o presente artigo apresentar uma breve contextualização que descreva o desenvolvimento sobre o desfiguramento facial adquirido causado pela doença (cancro cabeça e pescoço) ou originado pelo trauma (queimados, agressão, outros), recorrendo a literatura publicada em livros e artigos científicos, fazendo também referência a instrumentos validados para a população portuguesa que permitem avaliar o investimento da imagem corporal (ASI-R) e avaliar a autoconsciência da aparência (DAS-24). Referenciar as necessidades e questões psicossociais mais comuns, o tipo de intervenção, a importância do apoio social e quais as estratégias de coping mais frequentes no ajustamento ao desfiguramento facial adquirido. Palavras-chave-desfiguramento facial, avaliação, intervenção, coping ________________________________________________________________ ACQUIRED FACIAL DISFIGUREMENT: A BRIEF NARRATIVE REVIEWABSTRACT-In 2010, the Portuguese Institute of Statistics (INE) pointed out that 40,000 medium and large reconstructive and aesthetic surgeries are performed annually. Regardless of its etiology, a stronger focus on investigating individuals that have lost their "identity" due to trauma or disease, thus featuring a facial disfigurement, is justified. The intention of this paper to present a brief context that describes the development of the acquired facial disfigurement caused by the disease (cancer of the head and neck) or originated by trauma (burns) using published literature in books and articles scientific, also making reference to instruments validated for the Portuguese population for assessing investment body image (ASI-R) and to evaluate the self-consciousness of appearance (DAS-24). Identify the need and psychosocial issues most common type of intervention, the importance of social support and coping strategies which frequently in adjustment to acquired facial disfigurement.
