How are parents affected when their child has an appearance-altering injury?

Griffiths, Catrin

Abstract

In the UK, around 6400 children experience a burn injury every year. This can have a profound impact on a child's psychological and physical wellbeing—but how are parents affected when their child suffers a burn? Catrin Griffiths explores the effect of a child's burn injury on parents' coping skills and wellbeing, and highlights the importance of adequately assessing parents' needs and providing appropriate support.
