Abstract

A total of 44 thermally injured children (22 boys and 22 girls), currently aged 11-16 years old, who had been injured 3-14 years previously, stratified by age, sex, degree of burn (1-9%, 10-19%, 20%+) and position of burn (those whose burns included the face and those not burned facially) were selected from a sample pool of 394 previously hospitalized cases. Extent of psychological disturbance experienced by thermally injured adolescents and their mothers indicated that significant effects were evident regarding the sex of the child, age at the time of burn, stage of adolescence, intelligence and by the position and degree of burn.
