Burn-injured people are confronted with enormous challenges in their recovery process on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. Despite the magnitude of trauma, there has been a dearth of research exploring adult burn survivors' perception of their experiences. In this qualitative study, eight burn survivors were interviewed. Influences that impacted their experiences such as perceived memories, time, and age when burned were distinguished from the multiple themes of losses to identity, life style, relationships and physical functioning as well as themes of adaptation, coping and resiliency. Drawing from the burn survivors' stories of recovery can provide insights for social workers and other health care professionals in serving this compelling population more effectively.
烧伤患者在身体、情感和精神层面的康复过程中面临着巨大挑战。尽管创伤严重，但探索成年烧伤幸存者对自身经历看法的研究却很匮乏。在这项定性研究中，对八名烧伤幸存者进行了访谈。将影响他们经历的因素，如记忆、烧伤时的时间和年龄，与身份、生活方式、人际关系和身体功能丧失的多个主题以及适应、应对和恢复力主题区分开来。借鉴烧伤幸存者的康复故事可为社会工作者和其他医疗保健专业人员更有效地服务这一特殊群体提供见解。
