Shock and acceptance

Relatives of the burn patient go through an adjustment process similar to that of the patients. The first stage is one of acute shock and grief like the acute physical and emotional trauma experienced by the child. In the second or convalescent stage, the relatives overcome shock and disbelief, accept the injury and begin to help the child to recover.xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

As parents cope with the initial shock, the distress of their child and the new information they are being given, they are also coping with great fears for the future, namely ‘will my child live?” Parents can think this even with a superficial 2 per cent burn. They ask: ‘Will my child be scarred?” as they worry about acceptance for the child. "Will my child be able to live a normal life?” and ‘What changes will be needed in our family for us to deal with this terrible situation?
