Pediatric burns are devastating injuries, physically and emotionally; however, with progressive medical treatment even with the most severe burns, more burn patients are surviving. This leads to the introduction of a new area of medicine including the psychologic rehabilitation requiring the attention of reconstructive surgeons. Successful psychologic rehabilitation depends on a coordinated interdisciplinary burn care team, family, and the school environment, as well as the child.

“…Patients have limited control over painful medical procedures and in response may demonstrate an increase in behavioral disturbances (Tarnowski and Brown 2003). Research has shown significant rates of post burn injury psychological distress in younger aged burned patients (Stoddard, Norman, and Murphy, 1989; Stoddard, et al, 1989) including high rates of ASD (Stoddard, et al 2006), PTSD, (Saxe, et al 2001; Liber, et al 2006), anxiety (Van Loey &Von Son, 2003), and depression (Byrne, et al 1986; Blakeney, et al, 1998; Van Loey &Von Son, 2003). Conversely, outcomes research has found that the majority of burn survivors are well adjusted (Tarnowski and Rasnake, et al, 1991; Tarnowski and Rasnake, 1994; Tarnowski and Brown, 2003).…”

Advances in critical care and surgical management during the last 20 years have decreased mortality rates among children with severe burn injuries. This improved survival rate has prompted researchers to study the psychological aspects of recovering from a burn injury. Initially, research focused primarily on epidemiology, prevention and descriptions of the psychological phenomenon experienced by the children and adolescents. Whereas, previously, interventions were often utilized during the acute phases of burn injury without knowledge of the long-term effects, more recently, priorities have shifted to include long-term treatment outcome studies. The purpose of this paper is to review and discuss the current evidenced-based techniques and their efficacy in the treatment of common psychological and psychiatric conditions among children and adolescents during the 3 major phases of burn injury.

Objective Burn injury deformities and obesity have been associated with social integration difficulty and body image dissatisfaction. However, the combined effects of obesity and burn injury in social integration difficulty and body image dissatisfaction are unknown. Methods Adolescent and young adults burn injury survivors were categorized as normal weight (n=47) or overweight and obese (n=21). Burn-related and anthropometric information was obtained from patients' medical records, while validated questionnaires were used to assess the main outcomes and possible confounders. Analysis of covariance and multiple linear regressions were performed to evaluate the objectives of this study. Results Obese and overweight burn injury survivors did not experience increased body image dissatisfaction (12 ± 4.3 vs 13.1 ± 4.4, p = 0.57) or social integration difficulty (17.5 ± 6.9 vs 15.5 ± 5.7, p=0.16) compared to normal weight burn injury survivors. Weight status was not a significant predictor of social integration difficulty or body image dissatisfaction (p=0.19 and p=0.24, respectively). However, mobility limitations predicted greater social integration difficulty (p=0.005) and body image dissatisfaction (p<0.001), while higher weight status at burn was a borderline significant predictor of body image dissatisfaction (p=0.05). Conclusions Obese and overweight adolescents and young adults, who sustained a major burn injury as children, do not experience greater social integration difficulty and body image dissatisfaction compared to normal weight burn injury survivors. Mobility limitations and higher weight status at burn are likely more important factors affecting the long-term social integration difficulty and body image dissatisfaction of these young people.
