abstract: 'Objective: To examine differences in long-term social reintegration

  outcomes for burn survivors with and without work-related injuries.

  Design: Cross-sectional survey.

  Setting: Community-dwelling burn survivors.

  Participants: Burn survivors (N=601) aged >= 18 years with injuries to

  >= 5\% total body surface area or burns to critical areas (hands, feet,

  face, or genitals).

  Interventions: Not applicable.

  Main outcome measures: The Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation Profile

  was used to examine the following previously validated 6 scale scores of

  social participation: Family and Friends, Social Interactions, Social

  Activities, Work and Employment, Romantic Relationships, and Sexual

  Relationships.

  Results: Older participants, those who were married, and men were more

  likely to be burned at work (P<.01). Burn survivors who were injured at

  work scored significantly lower on the Work and Employment scale score

  after adjusting for demographic and clinical characteristics (P=.01).

  All other domain scale scores demonstrated no significant differences

  between groups. Individuals with work-related injuries scored

  significantly worse on 6 of the 19 items within the Work and Employment

  scale (P<.05). These individuals were more likely to report that they

  were afraid to go to work and felt limited in their ability to perform

  at work.

  Conclusions: Burn survivors with work-related injuries report worse work

  reintegration outcomes than those without work-related injuries.

  Identification of those at higher risk for work reintegration challenges

  after burn injury may enable survivors, providers, employers, and

  insurers to better use appropriate resources to promote and target

  optimal employment outcomes. (C) 2017 American Congress of
