Five-year experience of a burn survivor's position as a member of the burn team at a regional burn center.

摘要

The approach to care for the burned patient has undergone a change in focus over the past 20 years with optimal outcomes including not merely survival but global physical, emotional, mental, and social rehabilitation with increased emphasis on earlier re-entry into the previous social environment. The experiences of bum survivors provide unique opportunities for outreach and support of these patients. In 2001, a position on the Burn Team was developed by the Burn Center and a staff position created for a highly motivated, self-aware, and skilled bum survivor as a Burn Support Representative (BSR).
