Factores Psicosociales que afectan la Rehabilitación de las Quemaduras

About the Course

As dedicated burn professionals, we have a crucial role in assisting our patients as they navigate the physical challenges after a burn injury. Frequently, we encounter difficulties that complicate our support in the patient's recovery journey. How should we address situations where a patient lacks motivation and resists participation in the rehabilitation program? How do we manage family members who unintentionally hinder the patient's return to an independent life due to their overprotectiveness?

It's important to recognize that many of the challenges faced by burn professionals, which may initially appear to be linked to the patient's or caregiver's personality traits (e.g., laziness, resistance to advice, excessive dependence, regressive behavior, or excessive pampering from family members), often stem from the psychological impact of the burn trauma. These issues are closely tied to the patient's and caregiver's emotional response to the burn and their coping mechanisms. Identifying these issues and understanding their psychological origins is essential. Equally important is developing empathetic strategies to help patients and caregivers overcome these challenges, as this can significantly influence the patient's rehabilitation progress.

This course will help you to:

• Understand the Psychosocial Impact of Burns: Uncover the intricate web of psychosocial factors that can significantly affect our burn patients' rehabilitation process. Gain insights into how these factors contribute to emotional distress, reduced motivation, and compliance challenges.

Explore how the trauma of burns, coupled with the pain of treatment and rehabilitation, as well as loss of functions, present a unique set of challenges.
