Surveys sent to psychologic service providers at the 159 burn care hospitals in the United States and Canada elicited 69 responses with 66 completed forms. Results indicated that few hospitals provide formal psychologic testing for their patients who require acute or reconstructive care. However, respondents estimated that more patients display symptoms of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder than are given counseling or psychologic therapy. Referrals for counseling or therapy at discharge and appointments for follow-up visits to assess emotional health are given to approximately two thirds of the patients. A disturbing survey finding was that many respondents reported that their hospital staff, 6 months after beginning to work on the unit, also displays symptoms of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
向美国和加拿大159家烧伤护理医院的心理服务提供者发放的调查问卷收到了69份回复，其中66份表格填写完整。结果表明，很少有医院为需要急性护理或重建护理的患者提供正式的心理测试。然而，受访者估计，表现出抑郁和创伤后应激障碍症状的患者比接受咨询或心理治疗的患者更多。大约三分之二的患者在出院时会被转介接受咨询或治疗，并预约后续就诊以评估情绪健康状况。一项令人不安的调查结果是，许多受访者报告称，他们医院的工作人员在开始在该科室工作6个月后，也表现出抑郁和创伤后应激障碍的症状。
