N2  - PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to construct and test a structural equation modeling on life-world integration in people with severe burns. <br><br>METHODS: A survey design was used. Data were collected in 2008 from 376 people who had experienced severe burns using questionnaires. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. <br><br>RESULTS: The fitness parameters of the modified model (χ(2)/df = 3.15, goodness of fit:.91, normal fit index:.93, Tucker Lewis Index:.93, root mean square error of approximation:.07, root mean square residual:.04, and comparative fit index:.95) indicated its suitability as the research model. Physical function directly influenced burn factor, and family support indirectly influenced life-world integration. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Physical function should be directly improved to adjust to life-world integration. A comprehensive integration approach is also necessary to help people with severe burns successfully return to society.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
