The purpose of this study was to determine whether variables associated with psychosocial adjustment to a burn injury vary by gender. Male and female burned subjects (N = 260) were compared on their functional disability, disfigurement, coping responses, social resources, and psychosocial adjustment to a burn injury. Both men and women had adjusted psychosocially to their burn injury. Less functional disability (r = .57, p less than .001) for men and greater problem-solving (r = .57, p less than .001) for women were the most important variables in explaining psychosocial adjustment to a burn injury. In the future, researchers need to be cognizant of gender differences and consider men and women as separate populations.
本研究的目的是确定与烧伤心理社会适应相关的变量是否因性别而异。对男性和女性烧伤患者（N = 260）在功能残疾、毁容、应对反应、社会资源以及烧伤心理社会适应方面进行了比较。男性和女性在心理社会方面均已适应烧伤。男性功能残疾程度较低（r = 0.57，p < 0.001）以及女性解决问题能力较强（r = 0.57，p < 0.001）是解释烧伤心理社会适应的最重要变量。未来，研究人员需要认识到性别差异，并将男性和女性视为不同的群体。
