Abstract:
As the exact stereotyped content of physical attractiveness depends on cultural values, a study was conducted to obtain information concerning psycho-social problems experienced by people with burn disfigurement after being discharged from the hospital, in order to devise psycho-social support programs based on this evidence. In this qualitative study, individual in-depth interviews were performed with 21 participants. These interviews were analyzed by the content analysis method, upon which five main themes appeared such as: behaviors and beliefs of society, sufferings, assessment of reactions, solutions, and exhaustion. Our findings maintain that people's negative thoughts and behaviors provide the grounds for difficulties in disfigured individuals, hence taking troublesome measures to confront them. There exists a need to devise a proper protective plan to train the community, family and the affected individuals themselves, aimed at promotion of levels of awareness, attitude and performance.
