This research explored the gender differences in resilience and psychological distress of patients with burns. In Pakistan, psychological states of patients with burns have not been widely studied, women making up as the neglected section of society lag far behind in availing the needful health facilities. It was hypothesized that there would be significant gender differences in resilience and psychological distress of patients with burns. The sample of the study consisted of 50 patients with burns, obtained from four different hospitals of Lahore. In order to investigate resilience and psychological distress, the State Trait Resilience Scales (Hiew, 2007) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (Kessler, 2001) were used. In addition to these, self-constructed demographic questionnaire was administered. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 16.0. Independent sample t-test was conducted to find gender differences in resilience and psychological distress. The findings from the current research revealed that there were significant gender differences in resilience and psychological distress of patients with burns. The insightful findings from the current research carry strong implications for the clinicians, psychologists and policy makers who can help to develop and implement the rehabilitation programs for the affected population and can launch resilience promoting programs that would help them in coping with burns in effective manner.
本研究探讨了烧伤患者心理韧性和心理困扰方面的性别差异。在巴基斯坦，烧伤患者的心理状态尚未得到广泛研究，作为社会中被忽视的群体，女性在获得必要的医疗设施方面远远落后。研究假设烧伤患者在心理韧性和心理困扰方面存在显著的性别差异。该研究样本包括从拉合尔四家不同医院选取的50名烧伤患者。为了调查心理韧性和心理困扰，使用了状态-特质心理韧性量表（Hiew，2007）和凯斯勒心理困扰量表（Kessler，2001）。除此之外，还发放了自行编制的人口统计学问卷。使用SPSS 16.0版对数据进行分析。进行独立样本t检验以找出心理韧性和心理困扰方面的性别差异。当前研究结果显示，烧伤患者在心理韧性和心理困扰方面存在显著的性别差异。当前研究的深刻发现对临床医生、心理学家和政策制定者具有重要意义，他们可以帮助制定和实施针对受影响人群的康复计划，并开展促进心理韧性的项目，这将有助于他们有效地应对烧伤问题。
