BackgroundIdentifying predictors of health-related quality of life (HRQL) following burns is essential for optimization of rehabilitation for burn survivors. This study aimed to systematically review predictors of HRQL in burn patients.MethodsMedline, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, CINAHL, and Google Scholar were reviewed from inception to October 2016 for studies that investigated at least one predictor of HRQL after burns. The Quality in Prognostic Studies tool was used to assess risk of bias of included studies.ResultsThirty-two studies were included. Severity of burns, postburn depression, post-traumatic stress symptoms, avoidance coping, less emotional or social support, higher levels of neuroticism, and unemployment postburn were found to predict a poorer HRQL after burns in multivariable analyses. In addition, weaker predictors included female gender, pain, and a postburn substance use disorder. Risk of bias was generally low in outcome measurement and high in study attrition and study confounding.ConclusionsHRQL after burns is affected by the severity of burns and the psychological response to the trauma. Both constructs provide unique information and knowledge that are necessary for optimized rehabilitation. Therefore, both physical and psychological problems require attention months to years after the burn trauma.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s13054-018-2071-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…This version was modified from the original BSHS, which consisted of 114 questions [23] but was shown to be equally sensitive [24]. BSHS-B has excellent internal consistency indicating the high level of reliability of the tool, which was confirmed for major and recently, minor burns [24,25]. With time after burn the BSHS-B score is expected to increase indicating recovery and improvement of quality of life.…”

Burn injuries are considered, worldwide, one of the leading causes of injury, morbidity and mortality. Second-degree burns may affect patients: physically, socially and psychologically. The aim of the study is to identify the physical, social, and psychological needs of patients with second degree burns to suggest are habilitation program and follow up care that will improve quality of life after acute stage recovery. To achieve the aima descriptive research was undertaken. The study was conducted at the outpatient clinic of a burn unit, affiliated to a University hospital, in Cairo, Egypt. A convenience sample of 154 patients with second degree burns from both genders and aged 18 years old or above were the subjects of the study. Five tools were adopted for data collection: 1) An interview sheet, 2) Brief burn specific health scale (BSHS-B), 3)Self-esteem scale, 4) Body image and appearance scale, and 5) Social needs assessment. The results revealed that patients with second degree burns need physical, social, and psychological support to pass through the life-threatening experience. There is a highly statistically significant relation among bio-psychosocial needs for patents with second degree burn. Second degree burns affect patients' physical, psychological, and social well-being and preparation is needed to achieve a healthy recovery. The study recommends the implementation of a health awareness program to overcome the incidence of problems due to burns that might have a serious impact on the quality of life. A targeted rehabilitation program will enhance physical, psychological, and social adaptation as well as a healthy reintegration to the society.
