A major burn injury has the potential of seriously changing
people’s lives. The horror of the accident, the burden of
illness and treatment while hospitalised and the demanding
postdischarge rehabilitation phase are all threats to
patient’s long-term physical and psychosocial well-being
(Van Loey et al. 2003, Esselman et al. 2006, Moi et al.
2006, Moi & Gjengedal 2008, Ter Smitten et al. 2011).
Social support, as resources provided by other persons
(Cohen & Syme 1985), seems to be one of the most important
dimensions contributing significantly to patient health
and quality of life (Badger et al. 2011). Thus, studies
describing what relationships in a broad sense mean to the
patients from accident through rehabilitation may give
valuable insight that could add to the development of
improved burn care.
