- Abstract
Parents' emotions after their child's burn might be influenced by the injury circumstances or demographic characteristics of the patient and family. Parents' post-traumatic stress symptoms and their child's distress may interact and affect emotional states. The psychosocial outcomes of parents were measured using the Impact of Event Scale-Revised, the CARe Burn Scale, and the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory-Brief. The psychosocial quality of life outcomes of the pediatric burn patients were measured using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL). Regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between patient psychosocial quality of life and the related parent scores. A total of 48 patients and parents participated, with 36 giving full data at 12 months. Parental post-traumatic stress symptoms were initially high, settling by six months, although outliers remained. Parents reported higher IESR scores if their child was female, if they felt helpless at the time of the incident, and if a language other than English was spoken in the home. Parents' scores of their child's psychosocial function were similar to their child's self-scores. Parents who perceived poorer emotional functioning in their child reported higher IESR scores.
