The psychosocial characteristics of 100 burned children and their families were assessed along with characteristics of the burn event and injury. The findings were compared to other studies of burned children from Australia, Great Britain, and the United States to identify patterns of childhood burn injury. It is concluded that children most at risk for burns are very young and male. Often they are the younger or youngest child in a larger-than-expected family. They tend to come from single-parent and economically disadvantaged households. Moreover, burned children frequently have psychological handicaps and a history of previous burns. These findings and others were used to identify subgroups of children most at risk for burn injury and the most common precipitating events. The importance of prevention of these injuries for professionals dealing with such children is emphasized.
对100名烧伤儿童及其家庭的心理社会特征以及烧伤事件和损伤的特征进行了评估。将研究结果与澳大利亚、英国和美国其他有关烧伤儿童的研究进行比较，以确定儿童烧伤损伤的模式。得出的结论是，最容易烧伤的儿童是年龄非常小的男性。他们往往是大家庭中年龄较小或最小的孩子。他们往往来自单亲家庭和经济弱势家庭。此外，烧伤儿童经常有心理障碍和既往烧伤史。这些发现及其他发现被用于确定最容易遭受烧伤损伤的儿童亚组以及最常见的诱发事件。强调了预防这些损伤对处理此类儿童的专业人员的重要性。
