“…Similar to some previous reports [38][39][40], cyanides, sulfuric acid, and nitrites were the other toxic substances identified in this study. Although some suicides involving cyanide were identified, the number of such cases has decreased because of the difficulties in obtaining the compound owing to the strict management and prohibition by the government.…”

“…These gendered attacks occur most often in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Cambodia and occur when men seek retribution following women’s refusal of marriage or sexual advances or other perceptions of shame. As such, these culturally-specific forms of facial injury may not only publicly convey betrayal and humiliation but also constitute profound, culturally embedded trauma for victims (Mannan et al, 2006). In the current study, degree of trust violation was associated with body image distress, which may indicate that the breach in the relationship holds meaning for victims and activates body image concerns.…”

While body image concerns and interpersonal violence exposure are significant issues for women, their interrelationship has been rarely explored. We examined the associations between severity of acute injuries, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and body image distress within a sample of predominantly African-American victims of interpersonal violence (N = 73). Severity of body image distress was significantly associated with each outcome. Moreover, body image distress was a significant, unique predictor of depression but not PTSD severity. We recommend continued exploration of body image concerns to further integrated research on violence against women.

“…Interestingly, those who presented early had a significantly increased number of surgical interventions (mean = 3.1) ( p = 0.0003) compared with those presenting late (mean = 1.5). However, Mannan et al () found that delayed presentation did not significantly influence psychological distress.…”

Aims To analyse quality of life post vitriolage and explore factors affecting an individual's everyday functioning after an acid attack. Design Integrative review. Data Sources Articles (N = 570) retrieved from Medline, CINAHL Embase and Psychinfo between 2004–2017. Reference chaining and hand‐searching yielded 12 further articles. A total 12 articles were reviewed. Review Methods Whittemore and Knalf (2005) Journal of Advanced Nursing, 52, 546–553. Results Five themes were identified; contextual factors, physical wounds, psychological wounds, social wounds, and legal factors, as demonstrated by a conceptual model exploring traumatic events experienced by survivors. Conclusion The event, the burn injury itself, scarring and ocular damage are core factors that impair quality of life. Patients find it difficult to reintegrate into society following the assault and discrepancies between medico‐legal and social services further prevent them from achieving their pre‐morbid level of functioning. Nurses can use the biopsychosocial findings of this review to provide effective care for those assaulted by acid. It also provides a basis of discussion and application to other permanently disfiguring conditions and intentional injuries. Impact This review has found survivors of acid assaults experience legal, physical, psychological, and social problems. Findings suggest that no single person will have the same experiences since the burden of injury is dependent on socio‐cultural and contextual factors rather than the degree of injury alone. Inadequate coordination between multidisciplinary services hinders reintegration into society; causing permanent traumatization for some survivors. This review can assist nurses in understanding how acid assaults impact on quality of life to enable more holistic care provision.
