Download or read book Severe Burns written by Andrew M. Munster and published by Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 1993-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The care of severe burn victims over 100,000 people are hospitalized each year has improved dramatically over the past fifty years. But a serious burn remains a painful, frightening, and traumatic experience. The psychological stress of injury may be increased by the formidable array of medical equipment used in early stages of care and by the number of doctors, nurses, and specialists that burn patients and their families encounter. Once out of intensive care, the burn survivor often faces a long and difficult recovery. This book is meant to relieve some of the confusion and anxiety that comes with any serious burn injury. Written by the staff of the Baltimore Regional Burn Center, it includes comprehensive medical information from leading experts and first-person accounts of the experiences of burn survivors. The book describes the different types of burns, the various stages of treatment and recovery, the roles of all the people on the "burn team," the physical and emotional challenges of rehabilitation, and the resources available to patients and families. It also explains how to prevent injuries in the future and how to administer first aid to someone who has been burned. Organized to be useful to family members and friends immediately after the injury, and to burn survivors themselves during recovery and rehabilitation, the book is comprehensive in its coverage of topics of concern to everyone affected by a burn injury: Types of burns and inhalation injuries Survival, complications, and the future The "Burn Team" and what they do Tubes, monitors, and machines Types of dressings Pain management Physical rehabilitation Emotional and social recovery Special care for children Returning to school or work Support groups, counseling, camps Plastic surgery, scarring, and corrective cosmetics Prevention and safety Organizations and resources "Being a burn survivor means so much more than simply being alive. Being a burn survivor also means being a take-charge-of-your-life person whose strength of spirit is inspirational to others. Burn survivors have to learn to accept that life as they knew it before the injury is lost. With this acceptance comes profound grief, of course, but many burn survivors grow to a level of personal awareness and acceptance of self that most people never experience." from the Preface "For all those whose lives have been touched by burn injuries, this book explains medical procedures and the recovery process in a clear and comprehensive way. It will help burn survivors understand their injuries, their treatment, and their important role in returning to productive life. John A. Boswick, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.S., St. Joseph's Hospital, Denver

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objectives: Healing physically from a burn injury is only one step in the process of rehabilitation. After hospitalization burn survivors have to face challenges such as scarring and altered appearance. Many survivors find peer support to be one of the most helpful resources in the recovery process. Little research is available on the role of peer support in post burn recovery. This presentation describes the implementation of peer support for burn survivors in sparsely populated country with long distances and a few actors. Main focus is to increase the awareness of healthcare professionals about the importance of peer support in this patient group. Method: Co-operation with two active players of Finnish burn survivorsu2019 organizations. Results: National Burn Survivor (NBS) organization of Finland organizes every summer and autumn a family camp meeting for burn survivors and their families. Aim of these camps is get together and meet peers who have been through the process of burn recovery. Maintaining the network of supporters and cooperation is of uttermost importance. NBS is a member of Finnish Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation, which trains supporters, maintains closed Facebook group and offers web-based rehabilitation. Association of Children Injured Accidentally organize family camps and adaptation training for burnt children and teens. Websites for families include information on burns and support available. Conclusions: More research should be obtained from burn survivorsu2019 views of peer support. How do they view this intervention and services of NBS? To ensure this valuable voluntary activity, more trained supporters, especially young people, are needed. Web-based rehabilitation is a trend of the day, but does it replace face-to-face support? More attention should be paid to the knowledge of health care professionals about this resource and its potential in the recovery process of burns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Injury is a public health problem whose toll is unacceptable," claims this book from the Committee on Trauma Research. Although injuries kill more Americans from 1 to 34 years old than all diseases combined, little is spent on prevention and treatment research. In addition, between $75 billion and $100 billion each year is spent on injury-related health costs. Not only does the book provide a comprehensive survey of what is known about injuries, it suggests there is a vast need to know more. Injury in America traces findings on the epidemiology of injuries, prevention of injuries, injury biomechanics and the prevention of impact injury, treatment, rehabilitation, and administration of injury research.

Download or read book Roads to Recovery written by Rachel Anne Kornhaber and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since antiquity, the trauma of a severe burn has beset humankind with poor outcomes and survival rates. However, over the last two decades there has been substantial progress in the management of acute burns that has resulted in life expectancy similar to the general population. Despite these advancements in the management of severe burns, the physical, psychosocial and economic implications following a severe burn injury are variable with a lack of substantial progress in the area of burn rehabilitation. Consequently, the rehabilitation of those with severe burns remains a lengthy process with significant associated physical and psychosocial problems. A crucial point raised by burn professionals internationally, is that burn rehabilitation needs to be recognised as a continuum of active care rather than a separate isolated phase, with rehabilitation commencing on the day of injury. The immediate commencement of therapy is a key factor in the management of burns with the initial focus directed towards life support, wound closure, infection control and aggressive metabolic support. However, at some point, patients' rehabilitation needs exceeds those that can be provided by burn units necessitating the transfer to a rehabilitation facility. Therefore, it is the experiences of these patients rehabilitating from severe burns that are the focus of this study. This thesis reports on a research undertaking that explores patients' 'lived experience' of rehabilitation after a severe burn injury. The study utilised a descriptive phenomenological methodology approach. Purposeful sampling was utilised to select participants who sustained severe burns that required intensive rehabilitation across three Australian states. The researcher interviewed 21 burn survivors utilising semi structured interviews that were digitally audio recorded. The interviews were transcribed verbatim then analysed using Colaizzi's method of data analysis. From the data analysis, 25 cluster themes developed from the participants' experiences which were further merged into seven emergent themes that structured the 'lived experience' of burn survivors' rehabilitation journey forming the basis of the findings reported. The essence of these experiences is reflected in these themes: Vital supports, Spatial environment, Endurance, Acceptance, Impact, Challenges and Progression. These emergent themes incorporate both the physical and psychosocial impact after a severe burn injury. Central to burn rehabilitation is the notion of social support that has a significant influence on burn survivors' psychosocial rehabilitation. Fundamental to burn rehabilitation are the development of coping strategies and the means of adjusting and adapting. Patient centred goals provided the necessary motivation and tenacity to progress through the lengthy rehabilitation journey that besets those with severe burns. Acceptance of an altered self-image and body image is a slow and challenging experience for those with severe burns. Key to burn rehabilitation is the appropriate timing and delivery of burn therapy and education that facilitates patients' adherence to burn care and therapy. The process of transition and reintegration after a severe burn injury is a significant event in the rehabilitation of burn survivors. Access to ongoing rehabilitation services remains a challenging experience because of the lack of burn expertise in the community setting. This study has unearthed fundamental aspects of burn rehabilitation that span across a diverse and multidisciplinary sector of healthcare. In essence, these findings may provide for the further development of health policy in relation to management of severe burn injury; principles and guidelines for best practice; and both survivor and health professional education so as to improve outcomes for burn survivors, their families and the community.
