| Summary: | Objective: To investigate the impact of acceptance of disability and psychological resilience on post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) in patients with burns.
Methods: A total of 127 patients with burns were asked to complete PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version, Acceptance of Disability Scale and Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale questionnaires. Results were evaluated using correlational and regression analyses.
Results: The incidence of PTSD in burn patients was 37.80% (48/127), with an overall average checklist score of 45.78 ± 15.29 points. PTSD was negatively correlated with the level of disability acceptance and psychological resilience (p < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that the depth of burn, marital status, degree of subordination, self-value and self-improvement were factors influencing the incidence PTSD.
Conclusion: Nurses should screen and identify patients with PTSD as early as possible and provide proper psychological interventions to help them accept the reality of disability and improve the level of psychological resilience.
