Abstract
Background: Psychological distress among people who have severe burns is common. The time taken for burn wounds to heal cannot be fully explained by physical factors, such as wound size and depth. A growing body of evidence indicates that psychological factors impact the wound healing process. Patients and Methods: Hospital based cross sectional survey at burn unit, Menoufia University Hospital, Egypt and Astoon general hospital, Alkhobar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia within the period of 2 years (2015-2017). The study included 45 patients of four different nationalities (Egyptian, Saudi, Philippine's and Indian patients). Psychological distress as depression and anxiety were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale in these patients to show if patient has psychological distress or not. Results: Psychological distress was common in burn patients. It was observed that before psychological intervention, females complained of psychological disorders than males. But after psychological intervention, the response improvement in psychological status in females was better than males. Psychological disorders were high in all age groups. While, after psychological intervention, the response and improvement in the psychological status was better in the young and middle ages than in old ages. Also, it was found that after psychological interventions, burn patients with low psychological distress stayed for a shorter duration at hospital with less surgical intervention than those with psychological distress. Conclusion: Psychological intervention to severe burn patients during inpatient hospitalization has good impact on psychological state of these patients and decrease the duration of hospital stay and wound healing.
