Burns and their psychological effects on children.
Thousands of children are burned each year, and hundreds die from their burns. The physical wounds of burns take less time to heal than psychological wounds caused by the burns. The child will need to make adjustments in self-concept and body image as well as social adjustments. Through support of school programs in safety education and education of the community, health educators and school nurses can help prevent the high incidence and seriousness of burns.
