Burn injuries and subsequent disfigurement may place children at high risk for psychologic dysfunction. If medical professionals are to aid the child in achieving psychologic resolution and acceptance of the injury, they must be aware of the stage of body-image perception that the child is experiencing. This study was designed to determine differences in body image between children with burns and children without burns through the use of human figure drawings. The experimental group consisted of 32 children with burns, aged 5 to 15 years, studied at approximately 5 years after burn injury. The control group consisted of 32 children without burns, aged 6 to 15 years. Subjects in the burn group were matched to control subjects by age and sex. There were no significant differences in body image in relation to any of the demographic measures except age. Age was inversely related to body image both in patients with burns and in control subjects.
烧伤及随后的毁容可能使儿童面临心理功能障碍的高风险。如果医学专业人员要帮助儿童实现心理调适并接受损伤，他们必须了解儿童正处于的身体形象认知阶段。本研究旨在通过使用人体画像来确定烧伤儿童与未烧伤儿童在身体形象方面的差异。实验组由32名烧伤儿童组成，年龄在5至15岁之间，在烧伤后约5年进行研究。对照组由32名未烧伤儿童组成，年龄在6至15岁之间。烧伤组的受试者在年龄和性别上与对照组受试者相匹配。除年龄外，在任何人口统计学指标方面，身体形象均无显著差异。年龄与烧伤患者及对照组受试者的身体形象均呈负相关。
