Description
Ilias Tsiampouris and co-authors follow burn patients for six months to track life quality, stress disorder, and insomnia. Burns affect far more than skin, with sleep and mental health often hit. The team measured patients at three and six months after discharge.
Standard scales scored burn health, injury severity, and sleep quality. A revised impact scale measured stress symptoms after the trauma. Patients also gave background and clinical details for analysis. Most showed mild to moderate stress symptoms at both checks. Links between life quality and its drivers were tested. The study shows recovery needs mental and sleep care too. Its timeline helps clinics plan follow-up support better.
