Mean of overall score and sub-components was dichotomized into two groups as above average and below average. Of all participants 66% have below average overall score while 34% have above average. Similarly for sub-components 52%, 73% and 40% have below average while 48%, 27% and 60% have above average score in Performance, Social and Appearance Self-Esteem respectively. Significant difference in mean of overall score and score of sub-components was found for gender, occupational status, nature of injury, reason of burn and injury sustained at, however all age groups also showed significant difference for overall and subcomponent score accept performance self-esteem. Respondents between the age brackets of 15-25 years and 46-55 years presented better scores for self-esteem in all three sub-components whereas the respondents between the age brackets of 26-35years and 36-45 years had more below average scores.

Advances in surgical techniques and wound management have improved outcomes for burn patients; however, the psychological impacts on burn survivors have had less attention. There is a higher rate of mental health disorders amongst burns victims, with those with pre-existing mental health conditions likely to have worse outcomes. To implement effective burns care and rehabilitation, knowledge and understanding of mental health issues is required. This position paper discusses the extent to which clinicians currently translate knowledge around mental health and burns into practice to identify enables and inhibitors. Successful knowledge translation requires dissemination and accessibility of information with the capacity and readiness for change. Clinicians and researchers need to identify how translating research to practice can meet the needs of burn survivors. There is a gap in the utilization of evidence concerning mental health and the needs of burns survivors, and we need to understand what we know as compared to what we do. Clinicians are well placed to determine how and why knowledge does not necessarily translate to practice and how they can better accommodate the needs of burn survivors.
