Factors Influencing Resilience of Burn Patients in South Korea

Abstract

In the nursing practice, nurses need to pay attention to the burn patient's self-esteem and family support. Concrete interventions and strategies to improve the resilience of burn patients are needed.

A Correlational Study of Acute Stress and Resilience Among Hospitalized Burn Victims Following the Taiwan Formosa Fun Coast Explosion

“…Concurrent validity showed high correlations of RS with life satisfaction, morale, and depression (Wagnild & Young, 1993). This scale is widely used internationally (Bhamani, Pasha, Karmaliani, Asad, & Azam, 2015;Coelhoso, Garcia Del Castillo, Marzo, Dias, & Castillo-Lopez, 2017;Jang et al, 2017; Navarro-Abal, Lopez-Lopez, & Climent-Rodriguez, 2018) and has been translated into Taiwanese for use in trajectories of regenerating family resilience in 54 adolescents with cancer, the Cronbach's alpha was .947 (Chen, 2013). In this study, we used the Taiwanese version with the participants, and the Cronbach's alpha was .928.…”

“…Previous studies have found that patients with good resilience can effectively increase their adaptability and quality of life (Kool, Geenen, Egberts, Wanders, & Van Loey, 2017). Many factors may affect resilience, such as gender, subjective well-being, self-concept, self-esteem, and family resources (He, Cao, Feng, Guan, & Peng, 2013;Jang, Park, Chong, & Sok, 2017;Khanlou & Wray, 2014;Masood, Masud, & Mazahir, 2016;Wu, Chang, Tsai, & Liang, 2018). There are many studies on resilience, but these have mainly been focused on chronic disease patients such as dialysis (Freire de Medeiros et al, 2017), Parkinson's disease (Robottom et al, 2012), cancer (Wu et al, 2018;Wu, Liu, Li, & Li, 2016), and major trauma (Teche et al, 2017), as well as on caregivers (Inci & Temel, 2016;Palacio, Krikorian, & Limonero, 2018;Saria et al, 2017).…”

“On the Recovery Journey:” An Integrative Review of the Needs of Burn Patients From Immediate Pre‐Discharge to Post‐Discharge Period Using the Omaha System

“…Twenty‐two quantitative and 10 qualitative studies were included. Four focused on pediatric burn survivors (Duke et al, 2018; Maskell, Newcombe, Martin, & Kimble, 2013; Sveen, Sjöberg, & Öster, 2014; Willebrand et al, 2011); 25 studies focused on adults (Abrams, Ogletree, Ratnapradipa, & Neumeister, 2016; Bayuo, Agbenorku, & Amankwa , 2016; Christiaens et al, 2015; Elsherbiny, Salem, El‐Sabbagh, Elhadidy, & Eldeen, 2011; Goyatá & Rossi, 2009; Hunter et al, 2013; Idrees, Faize, & Akhtar, 2017; Jang, Park, Chong, & Sok, 2017; Johnson, Taggart, & Gullick, 2016; Juozapavicien, Rimdlka, & Karbonskiene, 2012; Kornhaber, Wilson, Abu‐Qamar, & McLean, 2014; Liang, Wang, Yao, Pan, & Wang, 2012; Martin, Byrnes, McGarry, Rea, & Wood, 2017; Mashreky et al, 2008; Ohrtman et al, 2018; Park, Choi, Jang, & Oh, 2008; Pfitzer et al, 2016; Shahid, Ismail, & Khan, 2018; Sproul, Malloy, & Abriam‐Yago, 2009; Titscher, Lumenta, Kamolz, Mittlboeck, & Frey, 2010; Wasiak et al, 2014; Wiechman et al, 2018; Yuxiang et al, 2012; Zamanzadeh, Valizadeh, Lotfi, Salehi, & Khalili, 2016; Zhang et al, 2014); and three studies focused on both adults and children with burns (Ahuja, Mulay, & Ahuja, 2016; Simons, Price, Kimble, & Tyack, 2016; Vetrichevvel et al, 2018).…”

“…Some studies also focused on 2 years (Christiaens et al, 2015; Martin et al, 2017; Wiechman et al, 2018), 8 years (Kornhaber et al, 2014), and 9 years post‐burn (Sveen et al, 2014). Others did not specify the exact post‐discharge follow‐up period (Bayuo et al, 2016; Jang et al, 2017; Liang et al, 2012; Park et al, 2008; Pfitzer et al, 2016; Willebrand et al, 2011).…”

“…The need to interact with family members was highlighted among both pediatric and adult burn patients (Christiaens et al, 2015; Idrees et al, 2017; Jang et al, 2017; Liang et al, 2012; Ohrtman et al, 2018; Park et al, 2008; Sproul et al, 2009; Zamanzadeh et al, 2016). After discharge, patients relied on their families to assist them in activities of daily living (Sproul et al, 2009).…”
