abstract="PURPOSE: To understand the stigma perspective of siblings of children with major burn injury. DATA SOURCES: A mixed method, qualitative-dominant study was conducted. The life story method was used for the qualitative portion. Only narratives from those family members describing the sibling's appearance change were used (N = 18 participants). CONCLUSIONS: Stigma experienced by siblings was first described by parents or noninjured siblings; they described how the sibling with changed appearance was stared at, ridiculed, or teased when they entered a new social situation. Only when specifically asked did the children with burn injury talk about their problems, saying, &quot;This always happens when I go somewhere new.&quot; IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Children with changed appearance focused on normalizing their lives in a positive way. Oftentimes, it was a parent or noninjured sibling who would describe manifestations of stigma and ways they tried to protect the child with burn injury.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
