    This study aimed to identify the biopsychosocial factors that influence the rehabilitation of burnvictims, through an integrative literature review, from January 1987 to January 2007. Articleswere searched in databases Scielo, Pubmed and Lilacs, resulting in 982 articles, of which 45were selected, afterthe analysis and categorization processes. Most studies were descriptive andqualitative. The most frequently associated factors to the rehabilitation process were: mentalhealth state beforethe accident, coping strategies and family support, besides the severity o ftheburnand the total body surface area burned. Thequality ofthe selected studies, most classifiedas evidence levelVI , shows the scarce production of strong evidences in this knowledge area,which needs more investment, considering the important implications of the sequelae of burns inthe social rintgration of these people.

    IntroductionThousands of people suffer the physical,

    psychological and social consequences a burn causes,which can continue over t ime or be pe rma nent .

    The biological factors the burn affects need to betreate d and managed w ith a view to the burn vic tim sadaptation after discharge from hospital. It shouldnot be forgotten, however, that we l ive in a dynamicand sociable environment, where we infiuence and areinfiuenced by other people s behavior.

    intel lectual, sensory, physical, psychological andsocial health levels, should offer tools to re-enablethem to gain independence and reassume their role insociety . H ealth professionals play a fund am enta l rolein support ing burn v ict ims adaptat ion ^ , keeping inmind their maximum exist ing capaci ty, instead of justfocusing on the disabil i ty.

    624 Rev. Latino-Am . Enfermagem2 11 May-Jun;19(3):622-30.Literature shows that the total body surface area

    (TBSA) burned, age, gender, ethnic origin, burn depth,injury site and pain can predispose to bad physical,social and psychological rehabilitation and worseningof the general health condition'^-^'. The burn, mainly inexposed body parts, provokes decreased self-esteemand turbulent emotions. Burns victims feel exposed dueto the skin injury, which exposes them to pathogens,deformations, fiuid loss and risk of death, as well asdue to the feeling of powerlessness and guilt for theaccident"-^'. The following have been described asfeelings associated with burn trauma: anguish, stress,fear, anxiety, which can hamper coping with the situation,that is, rehabilitation'- ^'.

    After hospital discharge, survivors of severe burnsstart to experience a chronic condition that demandspermanent care, mainly skin care. This study aimedto identify, through an integrative literature review,biopsychosocial factors interfering in the rehabilitationof burns victims.Theoretical methodological framework

    The integrative literature review is an importantmethod for evidence-based practice, as it permitsanalyzing various studies with different (quantitativeand qualitative) methods in the same research, as wellas to join trials and theoretical studies, constructing anew conception on a given topic. Nursing professionalsfrequently use this method, as it is strongly related withevidence-based practice, and mainly with patient careimprovements'" ' . Evidence can be ranked, dependingon the methodological approach used in the studies'"'.In this review, the following evidence level ranking wasused: I - evidence from systematic review or meta-analysis of all randomized controlled clinical trials orderiving from clinical guidelines based on systematicreview of randomized controlled clinical trials; II-evidences deriving from at least one well-designedrandomized con trolled clinicalt r ia l ;I II - evidence obtainedfrom well-designed clinical trials without randomization;IV - evidence from well-designed cohort and case-control studies; V - evidence from a systematic reviewof descriptive and qualitative research; VI - evidencefrom a single descriptive or qualitative study; VII -evidence based on authoritative opinions and/or expertcommittee reports' '^'.

    The development of this integrative review involvedthe following phases: 1. establishment of guidingquestion; 2. selection of articles and inclusion criteria; 3.

    Review; 5. interpre tations of Results and ; 6. presentationof Integrative Review'"'.

    With a view to answering the guiding question:"What biopsychosocial factors interfere in therehabil i tation process of burns victims?", a search wascarried out in Pubmed, LILACS and Scielo, betweenOctober 2007 and January 2008. The fol lowingcontrol led descriptors were defined: rehabil i tation,burns, culture and social support, as well as the non-control led descriptors: psychological, biopsychosocialrehabil i tation and social. The search l imits were:humans, adults and publication period from 1987to 2007. Also, the inclusion criteria were: completestudies related to rehabil i tation themes in thebiological, psychological and sociocultural spheres,and papers in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

    In PubMed, 905 papers were located, 79 of whichwere selected. For Scielo, the descriptors were definedas "key words" and "abstract", resulting in 54 papers,10 of which were selected. In LILACS, 23 papers werelocated, four of which were included. After analyzingthe full texts of all articles under analysis, in view ofinclusion criteria and repetitions, 48 papers wereexcluded. In the final sample, 45 articles were obtained.One ofthe researchers selected the papers and receivedconfirmation from two others.

    To rank and facilitate analysis of the papers, aninstrument was adapted from l i terature'^^"', which tworesearchers experienced in this typ e of review and in thetheme area assessed for content adequacy.

    The analysis of the study designs included in thisintegrative review was based on concepts presented inliterature"^-'' ', which classifies them as studies with aquantitative approach (experime ntal, quasi-experimentaland non-experimental design), qualitative approach(ethnographic, phenomenology, grounded theory, casestudy, biography, narrative analysis, history, meta-synthesis) and reviews (integrative, systematic and

    The analysis process attempted to identify thebiopsychosocial factors associated with the rehabilitationprocess, resulting in the iden tification of three categories:1- Factors related with social and emotional support,2- Psychological factors and 3- Factors associated withburn trauma and severity.Results

    The final sample included 45 papers (four from

    Next, the three identified categories arepresented.Factors related with social ndemotional s upport

    The factors associated with this group wereidentified in 20 papers, 18 of which were classifiedasevidence levelVI.

    According to two studies with a correlation design(evidence level VI , emotional support is associatedwith better rehabilitation and quality of life' ^^'but, atthe same time, one study mentions that living alone is

    related with better integration in domestic and socialactivities,as burns victims would perform their activitiesindependently'^^'.Psychoiogicai factors

    These factors were foundin 22papersandorganizedin three sub-categories: factors related with mentalhealth condition and individual characteristics beforetheaccident; related with treatment experience and withpost-trauma adaptation mechanisms. Factors relatedwith mental health conditionand individual characteristicsbefore the accident include aspects related to negativeexperiences before the accident, drugs abuse, organicbrain syndromes, psychological development, copingstrategiesand self-esteem (Figure2 .

    As for the factors associated with the burn traumaand severity, greater TBSA burned was associated withworse adaptation after hospital discharge in different

    DiscussionIt is known that the rehabilitation process of burn

    patients is complex, needs a multidisciplinary team,with a holistic care focus, and should aim to enhanceadaptation, including physical, psychological andsocial recovery. Therefore, knowledge is needed aboutthe different (internal and external) factors that caninfluence these people's reha bilitation. TBSA burned wasappointed as a sign of worse adjustment and quality oflife in some des criptive studies in this review (level VI)'=

    ' as , the larger the TBSA burned, the greater difficultieswill be to perform domestic chores, body care, mobility,social integration and, mainly, return to work. Burnseverity was also appointed as a factor that hampersrehabilitation and functional recovery, as it can lead tocontractures, numbness and itching skin' ' ' ' ' '^ ' .

    In this review, besides burn severity and TBSAburned, mental health status before the accident(psychiatric pre-morbidities, mood disorders, chemicaladdiction), ineffective coping strategies and family

    the rehabilitation process. It should be highlightedthat greater extent of TBSA burned is associated withlonger hospitalization and greater visibility of injuries. Arecently published review found similar results, despitedistinct inclusion criteria'^^'.

    One of the factors that hampers the rehabilitationprocess is related w ith the patien ts' stress coping abilitiesand the strategies they use, which can be related withseveral other emotional, psychological or psychiatricdisorders (low self-esteem, depression, trait anxiety,personality disorder, among others). As identified in arecent stu dy ' ' , not included in this review, the pre-burnmental health condition can interfere in the rehabilitationprocess, as it can lead to worse psychosocial a djus tme ntandc nalso infiuence improv eme ntsinphysical function s.That research, which included 64 burn patients, foundthat 24 had depression and post-traumatic stress after12 months of fol low-up, 20 of whom had a previouspsychiatric history. It was also verified that most patientshad severe depression before the injury, while only twoparticipants did not experience any previous episode ofpsychiatric diso rde r' '. In this review , studies showedthat depression was more present in patients after theburn and that greater TBSA burned and hand and faceburn visibility can increase the chance of developing

    Gonalves N, Echevarria-GuaniloME,Carvalho FL, MiassoAI,Rossi LA. 627another study calls attention to the fact that even burnvictims without previous mental health diagnoses weremore vulnerable than the general popu lation, which canbe a factor that contributed to the accident'^^'.

    As identified in the results, previous negativeexperiences and patients' personality are predisposingfactors regarding emotional conditioninth elongte rm.Theprevious Identification of these problems delays possiblecomplications during hospitalization and rehabilitation,besides helping care planning' ' '. Personality can alsoinfluence the appearance of post-traumatic stress andis related with individual coping'^'. It can delay returnto work' ' and this return, when hampered or absent,can lead to cases of post-traumatic stress'^'. Post-traumatic stress can be defined as an anxiety disorder,characterized by the occurrence of a traumatic event theperson experienced or witnessed, manifesting intensefeelings of fear, impotence or h or ro r' '. The burn is atrauma tizing event since, as reported, i t exposes victimsto pathogens, due to the loss of skin integrity, as wellas to perceptions, feelings and psychological reactionsrelated to the fact of being burned, which victims arenot always ready to cope wi th. The appearance of post-traumatic stress in burn patients is the main psychiatricillness. Health professionals should pay attention toidentify i ts signs and symptom s, demanding com petence,sensitivity and specialization to deal with this situation.

    Besides affecting the victim, the burn affects theentire family, which should also receive attention andbe included in care planning, with a view to a betterreturn to activities for all members and to achieve betteroutcomes, m ainly in terms of quality oflife.Social supportfrom relatives, friends and significant persons wasanother important factor found in this review. In a studyinvolving relatives of burn victims, it was observed thatthey try to help the victim through stimuli and support,such as l istening, calming down and talking , so that theperson does not feel inferior; through the demonstrationof feelings of love and happiness'^'. The fam ily also takescharge of responsibilities, involving healthy membersas well as care delivery for the relative with a healthproblem, until complete recovery is achieved. Familymembers experience the disease and its consequencestogether, entailing weakness and vulnerability, due tothe disease itself as well as the financial conditions itentails'^ '. Support sources are maintained as a resultof interpersonal relationships, culture or belief. For thepatient, family members and the team, a significantrelation' 5' and the establishm ent of a strong bond are

    Another important support source found in thereviewed studies includes friends, community and healthprofessionals. Relatives consider the social network,friends, community people and even health professionalsas very important for patients with chronic conditions.The main contributions this support source offers areproximity, care delivery and financial help

Patients with problems related to one or moreof these factors should receive appropriate follow-up.Knowledge on these factors can support interventionplanning to facilitate the rehabilitation process, as wellas further studies to test interventions or care models inthe rehabilitation phase.

    The quality of the identified research calls attentionto the scarce production of strong evidence in thisknowledge area, demanding further research, as burnsmainly affect men of productive age and their sequelaeentail important implications for these people's return towork and social rintgration.Psychosocial rehabilitation trials are recommendedwith a view to testing interventions in multicenterstudies, so as to expand the sample size, and producingreliable scientific evidence to improve care quality forburn victims.References1.
