Did
you know that around a third of patients that present with a severe
burn, also have a pre-existing mental health condition?
Furthermore, around 80% of patients report having had a major life
event or severe stress prior to the burn.
Psychological management of patients with burns is complex and so
important.
This
talk will help you discover if all burns are traumatic, how and why
a trauma-related disorder may evolve and increase your
understanding of how trauma responses can interfere with many
aspects of physical and psychological recovery.
How
do we give our patients some control back in situations where they
have no control over what is happening to them?
How
do we help our patients manage the rehabilitation process?
Crucially, how do we support our patients through their journey of
acceptance and loss?
Tune in to a discussion by A/Prof Caryl Barnes on the
Psychological Management of Burns.
