About the Course
Understanding the intricate concept of body image holds paramount significance in burns. When individuals experience burns, physical scars become tangible reminders of trauma, altering not only external appearance but also deeply impacting the internal perception of self. A patient's recovery journey is not only about regaining physical functions, but it is also about rebuilding self-confidence and self-acceptance to be able to return to an active social life. As such, burn professionals must grasp the complexities of body image and its influence on post-burn recovery. This introduction course will help burn professionals understand the concept of body image and its implications on the psychological and emotional well-being of burn patients during their recovery.
