This study addressed self-blame and adaptation by using data collected from 49 patients hospitalized for the treatment of acute burn wounds. Nurses and physical therapists rated patients' compliance with the therapeutic activities essential for proper healing, and they rated pain behavior. After controlling for burn severity and time since admission, regression analyses showed that behavioral self-blame for the burn accident was a significant predictor of poorer compliance with nurses, more pain behavior, and greater depression. People with a prior psychiatric history were also more depressed and more likely to blame themselves for the accident. These data are contrasted with research on the adaptive features of self-blame.
本研究通过收集49名因急性烧伤伤口住院治疗的患者的数据，探讨了自责与适应问题。护士和物理治疗师对患者在促进伤口正常愈合所需的治疗活动中的依从性进行了评分，并对疼痛行为进行了评分。在控制烧伤严重程度和入院后的时间后，回归分析表明，对烧伤事故的行为自责是依从护士较差、疼痛行为较多以及抑郁程度较高的显著预测因素。有精神病史的人也更抑郁，并且更有可能因事故而自责。这些数据与关于自责的适应性特征的研究形成了对比。
