Finding Support: Accessing Resources Among Burn Survivors in Iowa
نویسنده
چکیده
Despite these demonstrable benefits, 53% of burn survivors in the Midwest have never participated in a support group [2]. While University of Iowa’s Burn Treatment Center provides several support programs, they may not be reaching all those who could benefit from them. There is scant research about how survivors learn about these programs and why some choose to participate while others do not. It is important to understand what barriers if any exist to participation to ensure the best possible outcomes for burn survivors.
