2nd Edition of Enhancing Psychosocial Burn Care

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite submissions for a Special Issue focused on Enhancing Psychosocial Burn Care. Burn injuries often result in profound psychosocial consequences that can impact survivors’ mental health, quality of life, social reintegration, and overall recovery. Survivors often face complex challenges that require comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence-based psychosocial care. This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative research, clinical practices, and interdisciplinary approaches that address the psychosocial needs of burn survivors across all stages of care.

We welcome research articles, reviews, case studies, and commentaries that relate to psychological interventions and therapies, social support systems, and family involvement, as well as long-term psychosocial outcomes and quality of life. Also, studies presenting findings related to cultural and contextual factors in psychosocial care, psychosocial care in burn rehabilitation, training and support for burn care professionals, and research on digital tools and technologies for psychosocial support are invited.
