title: When is the burn injury healed?: psychosocial implications of care.
abstract: The psychosocial and economic effects of burn trauma are profound, not only for the patients, their families, and the burn unit staff members, but also for society as a whole. Understanding the perception of stresses experienced by patients, families, and staff is discussed, and related strategies to assist in reducing the stress are presented. A comprehensive psychosocial support system can assist the nurse in reducing the psychosocial morbidity of severe burn trauma.
