TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - The importance of mental health considerations for critical care burns patients JO - Journal of Advanced Nursing A1 - Cleary, Michelle A1 - Visentin, Denis C. A1 - West, Sancia A1 - Kornhaber, Rachel SP - 1233 EP - 1235 VL - 74 IS - 6 N2 - Mental health issues for critical care patients have important consequences for care, recovery and follow-up (Kornhaber, Childs, & Cleary, 2017; Kornhaber, Haik, et al., 2017). Burn injuries and treatment can be both physically and psychologically traumatic. Patients are often confronted by adjustments to physical capacity and body image (O'Donnell, Bryant, Creamer, & Carty, 2008), with the distress affecting not only the patient but also their families (Johnson, Taggart, & Gullick, 2016) and even burns clinicians (Haik et al., 2017).
