abstract="The purpose of this study was to assess the reaction to burn trauma, the hospitalisation characteristics and psychosocial adjustment in 174 burn victims who agreed to participate in a structured interview. It was postulated that once patients sustain a burn, the level of loneliness feelings and feelings of shame is a function of the visibility of the scars. Contrary to expectation, the visibility of the burn scars was not a predictor of pathological feelings of shame. By contrast, social introversion was a factor significantly associated with the development of burn related pathological feelings of shame.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
