“…Knowledge translation has been demonstrated through such models as the Changing Faces approach which involves techniques to teach patients how to understand theirs and others emotional, cognitive, and behavioural responses to burns injuries (De Sousa et al . ). Once the responses of others are learned, new skills can be adopted to enhance confidence and thereby minimize the possibility of mental health issues relating to reintegration.…”

“…There is also the promotion of peer support visits by some burns centres, as well as professionally run support groups allowing patients to be in contact with other survivors (De Sousa et al . ). Such efforts help to promote an understanding of the lived experience for burns patients with mental health challenges, something that is a growing focus of research due to its capacity to aid recovery (Abrams et al ., ; Johnson et al .…”

“…Hence, interventions should be targeted towards addressing these crucial patient issues (De Sousa et al . ). During the acute stage, survival is less in question for the patient and their focus may shift to concerns around disfigurement or any personal loss associated with the burn.…”

“…The rehabilitation stage is considered the one in which depression and PTSD are most likely to become solidified, as issues relating to integration or change in physical function become the major focus (De Sousa et al . ). This strengthens the importance of ensuring the correct interventions occur in the earlier stages in the appropriate manner to limit solidification at this stage.…”

Advances in surgical techniques and wound management have improved outcomes for burn patients; however, the psychological impacts on burn survivors have had less attention. There is a higher rate of mental health disorders amongst burns victims, with those with pre-existing mental health conditions likely to have worse outcomes. To implement effective burns care and rehabilitation, knowledge and understanding of mental health issues is required. This position paper discusses the extent to which clinicians currently translate knowledge around mental health and burns into practice to identify enables and inhibitors. Successful knowledge translation requires dissemination and accessibility of information with the capacity and readiness for change. Clinicians and researchers need to identify how translating research to practice can meet the needs of burn survivors. There is a gap in the utilization of evidence concerning mental health and the needs of burns survivors, and we need to understand what we know as compared to what we do. Clinicians are well placed to determine how and why knowledge does not necessarily translate to practice and how they can better accommodate the needs of burn survivors.

“…The likelihood of persistent, residual disability after hand injury spans from 1% to 100% with 13.6% of patients being affected on average (Dias & Garcia-Elias, 2006). Psychological issues caused by hand injuries and associated persistent, residual disability includes flashbacks, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and concerns with personal appearance (Sousa, et al, 2013).…”

Injuries to the hand are more common than those of any other body region and can have considerable financial, time-measured and psychological impact on not only the victim but the community as a whole. Hand rehabilitation aims to return people to their pre-injury roles and occupations and has proved largely successful in doing so with the potential for technology to improve these results further. However, most technology used in hand rehabilitation is based on expensive and non-durable glove-based systems and issues with accuracy are common among those which are not glove-based. The authors outline an accurate, affordable and portable solution wherein the authors use the Leap Motion as a tool for hand rehabilitation. User feedback will be given primarily through an animated 3d hand model as the user performs rehabilitative exercises. Exercise results will be recorded for later viewing by patients and clinicians. The system will also include Gamification aspects, techniques which (while proven to increase participation) have seen little to no use in hand-rehabilitation systems.

Past research has shown concurrent associations between adolescent's body mass index (BMI) and classroom bullying victimization experiences. The goal of this three‐wave longitudinal study is to examine a transactional model of associations between BMI and bullying victimization among adolescents in India. We investigate concurrent unidirectional and bidirectional relations between BMI and victimization. In a sample of 1238 students from nine schools (Grades 7–9; M‐ageT1 = 13.15, SD = 1.16) in Indore, India, we used self‐ and peer‐reports to measure bullying victimization in the classroom, and objective measurement of students' height and weight to collect data on adolescents' BMI, across three waves in one school year. Structural equational modeling was used to test transactional relations between BMI and bullying victimization. For self‐reported victimization, there was no concurrent or over time association between BMI and victimization for boys or girls in the present study. For peer‐reported victimization, we observed concurrent associations between BMI and victimization for boys and girls and a prospective relation where higher BMI corresponded to less victimization over time for boys. The study yielded mainly concurrent relations between BMI and victimization among adolescents in India. Results from western countries may not generalize to India.
