Towards a clinical and empirical definition of burn scarring: A template analysis using qualitative data

Abstract: This study identified there are differences in the burn scar characteristics considered important by health professionals and those characteristics that adult/child/caregivers perceived to impact on indicators of burn scar HRQOL. It is recommended that outcome measures of burn scarring include the burn scar characteristics of 'stretchability' and 'scar sensitivity' at a minimum. The inclusion of 'fragility', 'scar surface appearance' and 'color' should also be considered.

“…Items with different terminology but comparable meanings were grouped, resulting in synonyms for aspects of scar quality. Comparable synonyms were also described in recent qualitative studies with patients, 27,29 which confirms that differences exist in the way scar characteristics are defined. During this study, we encountered that the meaning of items was often poorly or not described and that multiple interpretations of a term existed.…”
