A National Trauma Research Action Plan identified the involvement of burn survivors as critical informants to determine the direction of research. This study employed a web-based survey to identify care gaps in a sample of burn survivors. We surveyed burn survivors from around the United States through social media and email contact with the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors. We elicited demographic info, burn history, and unmet needs. Statistical analysis was performed to test our hypothesis that lack of access to mental health support/professionals would be identified as an unmet need in long-term burn survivors. Of 178 survey respondents, most were at least ten years removed from the date of their burn injury (n=94, 53%). Compared to those less than 3 years from their burn injury, individuals greater than 10 years were at least 5 times more likely to note lack of access to mental health support [11-20 years OR 8.7, p< 0.001; >20 years OR5.7, p=0.001]. 60% of Spanish speakers reported lack of support group access was among their greatest unmet needs, compared to 37% of English speakers (p=0.184). This study highlights the need for ongoing access to mental health resources in burn survivors. Our findings emphasize that burn injury is not just an acute ailment, but a complex condition that evolves into a chronic disease. Additional studies should focus on the experiences of Spanish-speaking burn survivors, given small sample size leading to a likely clinically significant but not statistically different lack of access to support groups.
