“…Good social support was a strong enabler of both resilience and PTG [18,20,25,30]. Spirituality had a positive effect on both resilience and PTG [17,22,23], Additionally, some studies found personality factors like optimism promoted resilience [32], extraversion promoted PTG, and neuroticism was a barrier to PTG [27].…”

Burn injuries are traumatic experiences that can detrimentally impact an individual’s psychological and emotional wellbeing. Despite this, some survivors adapt to psychosocial challenges better than others despite similar characteristics relating to the burn. Positive adaptation is known as resilience or posttraumatic growth, depending on the trajectory and process. This review aimed to describe the constructs of resiliency and growth within the burn injury context, examine the risk factors that inhibit resilience or growth after burn (barriers), the factors that promote resilience or growth after burn (enablers), and finally to assess the impact of interventions that have been tested that may facilitate resilience or growth after burn. This review was performed according to the recently updated Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Guidelines. An electronic search was conducted in November 2021 on the databases PubMed, Medline (1966-present), Embase (1974-present), PsycINFO for English-language peer-reviewed academic articles. There were 33 studies included in the review. Findings were mixed for most studies; however, there were factors related to demographic information (age, gender), burn-specific characteristics (TBSA, time since burn), person-specific factors (personality, coping style), psychopathology (depression, PTSD), and psychosocial factors (social support, spirituality/religion, life purpose) that were evidenced to be related to resilience and growth. One qualitative study evaluated an intervention, and this study showed that a social camp for burn patients can promote resilience. This study has presented a variety of factors that inhibit or encourage resilience and growth, such as demographic, individual, and social factors. We also present suggestions on interventions that may be used to promote growth following this adverse event, such as improving social support, coping styles and deliberate positive introspection.

Background: Burn and wounds are one of the most serious hospital cases in all healthcare settings, both social and psychological support are needed to overcome all depressive and anxious feelings afterward the burns' incidence. This study aims to assess and evaluate all posttraumatic growth experiences from healthcare professionals after burns and wounds on selected patients with various degrees of burns. Methods: It was a cross-sectional descriptive design. The present study utilized regression analysis as a statistical tool to examine the variables linked to posttraumatic growth in a sample of 191 individuals who had undergone significant burn injuries. Results: The study revealed that those undergoing therapy for mild depression exhibited a modest degree of depressive symptoms and a diminished feeling of positive self-perception compared to those in the acute phase. Therefore, a statistically significant difference in the averages was noticed between the two groups. An important correlation was found between depressive symptoms and social support, which had a significant impact on posttraumatic growth during the recovery phase. Conclusions: The present study revealed that social support exerted a noteworthy influence in promoting posttraumatic growth among individuals belonging to the acute phase group.
