Burns are a major public health issue. Psychiatric issues require special attention. According to research, lowering stigma and anxiety and raising self-esteem are efficient ways to encourage the social reintegration of burn patients. The current study was aimed at investigating the association between burn patients' anxiety, depression, low self-esteem levels and the total body surface area (TBSA) affected by burn injuries. This single-center, cross-sectional study was conducted from January to June 2022. A sample size of 200 burn patients was calculated. Any patient with a prior psychiatric diagnosis was disqualified from the trial except for nicotine dependency. The patients were evaluated for anxiety, depression and self-esteem using specific scales. The data were tabulated and statistically analyzed using SPSS 25.0. There was male predominance as 55% (n=110) of participants were males. The age range was 18-70 years, and the average age of participants was 36.4±8.6 years. About 68.50% of participants were married, 29.50% were unmarried and 2% were divorced/widowed. Men tended to experience anxiety symptoms more frequently. More than half (58.0%) suffered from burns involving 20-39% of total body surface area (TBSA). No significant relationship was found between TBSA and anxiety, depression or self-esteem. Psychiatric issues are highly prevalent in burn victims. More research is necessary to determine the extent and determinants of psychological issues in burn patients.
烧伤是一个重大的公共卫生问题。精神问题需要特别关注。根据研究,降低耻辱感和焦虑感以及提高自尊是促进烧伤患者社会重新融入的有效方法。本研究旨在调查烧伤患者的焦虑、抑郁、低自尊水平与烧伤累及的全身表面积(TBSA)之间的关联。这项单中心横断面研究于2022年1月至6月进行。计算得出样本量为200名烧伤患者。除尼古丁依赖外,任何先前有精神疾病诊断的患者均无资格参加试验。使用特定量表对患者的焦虑、抑郁和自尊进行评估。数据制成表格并使用SPSS 25.0进行统计分析。男性占主导,55%(n = 110)的参与者为男性。年龄范围为18至70岁,参与者的平均年龄为36.4±8.6岁。约68.50%的参与者已婚,29.50%未婚,2%离异/丧偶。男性更频繁地出现焦虑症状。超过一半(58.0%)的患者烧伤累及全身表面积(TBSA)的20 - 39%。未发现TBSA与焦虑、抑郁或自尊之间存在显著关系。精神问题在烧伤受害者中非常普遍。需要更多研究来确定烧伤患者心理问题的程度和决定因素。
