“…The dataset from the field testing of this instrument is a fertile resource to describe social participation following burns and to examine the impact of gender differences on these outcomes. 15,16,18,19 In the present study, we examine the differences in responses between men and women participants of the LIBRE Profile field-test in order to better understand genderrelated differences in long-term social participation outcomes following burn injury. In light of the patterns discussed above, we hypothesized that women who responded to the LIBRE Profile would have lower scores in the six scales compared to men.…”

Burn injury can be debilitating and affect survivors' quality of life in a profound fashion. Burn injury may also lead to serious psychosocial challenges that have not been adequately studied and addressed. Specifically, there has been limited research into the associations of burn injury on community reintegration based on gender. This work analyzed data from 601 burn survivors who completed field testing of a new measure of social participation for burn survivors, the Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation (LIBRE) Profile. Differences in item responses between men and women were examined. Scores on the six LIBRE Profile scales were then compared between men and women using analysis of variance and adjusted linear multivariate regression modeling. Overall, men scored significantly better than women on four of the six LIBRE Profile scales: Sexual Relationships, Social Interactions, Work & Employment, and Romantic Relationships. Differences were not substantially reduced after adjustment for demographic characteristics and burn size. Men scored better than women in most of the areas measured by the LIBRE Profile. These gender differences are potentially important for managing burn patients during the post-injury recovery period.

“…Our study supported phase 3 of the IMV model because our participants had access to the means of suicide and were exposed to the suicidal behavior of their family members who also resorted to self-immolation [18]. However, what was lacking in the IMV model was the aftermath of the attempted self-immolation as our participants had no real intention to die and did not realize that self-immolation is a dangerous means of suicide with many adverse consequences [30]. Our participants accepted that they regretted performing self-immolation and learned the best way to recover.…”

Background: Suicide-attempts have increased across the world and have become higher among females. There has been a high prevalence of self-immolation in Iran, mostly young married women admitted to the burn centers. This study aimed to explore the factors and experiences of self-immolation in Iranian married women to develop prevention strategies to prevent the personal, social, and economic impacts of suicide and suicide attempts. Methods: A qualitative descriptive approach using open-ended, in-depth, face-to-face interviews was conducted in a purposive sample of 16 married Iranian women aged 16 to 40 years in the burn centers in Urmia city, a place in northwest Iran. Conventional content analysis was used to analyze the data.Results: Three themes emerged from the data, including (1) antecedents of self-immolation, (2) suicidal ideation method, and (3) pathway to recovery. Each of these themes is supported by sub-themes.Conclusions: The study highlights the need for health professionals to help and support self-immolation survivors to continue their normal lives. A comprehensive supportive program based on survivors’ needs to support their pathways to recovery in all its complexities is recommended. Health professionals should also not forget that the family of the survivors also will need help to overcome this trauma. A family counseling program may also be provided.

“…These people try to establish a warm and supportive relationship with their family members to be more resistant to stress and more easily adapt to existing conditions [23,33]. Other studies have con rmed the advantages of social support in survivors of self-immolation through support from family members and friends [32,34]. Thus, it is important that women who survived self-immolation as well as their family and other support networks be supported.…”
