Clinicians often overlook psychosocial factors in non-healing wounds. Hospital addiction syndrome (Munchausen syndrome) involves self-inflicted injuries driven by a need for attention, complicating wound treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Dermatology
  • Wound Care

Background:

  • Despite advanced wound care, some wounds exhibit delayed or absent healing.
  • Current treatment strategies predominantly focus on biological factors, neglecting psychosocial influences.

Observation:

  • Atypical wound healing can be linked to psychosocial factors, notably self-mutilation.
  • Hospital addiction syndrome, a form of imaginary disorder, is characterized by individuals feigning or causing illness for attention.

Findings:

  • Patients with hospital addiction syndrome may present with imaginary symptoms or self-inflicted injuries.
  • These individuals often deny self-harm and may leave medical facilities seeking further treatment elsewhere.

Implications:
