Abstract

Background: One of the challenges women may face after experiencing severe burns is a shift in their social and marital roles. The process by which they reclaim these roles remains unclear.

Purpose: This study was carried out to explore how women work to restore their marital and social status.

Methods: This qualitative research involved face-to-face, semi-structured interviews using open-ended questions. Sixteen women with severe burn injuries participated in the study. Data collection proceeded until no new information emerged (data saturation), and the analysis was carried out using a conventional content analysis approach. The study was conducted in accordance with the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR).

Results: Two themes and six subthemes emerged: Consistency of self-position in married life (self-sacrifice, continuity of roles, normalization of sexual relations) and social interaction (social isolation, reliance on internal forces in interaction with the community, use of available support).

Conclusion: Following severe burn injuries, women often strive to reestablish their roles within their marital and social relationships. Healthcare professionals, including nurses and physicians, can play a vital role by educating survivors and their families (particularly their spouses) about how to effectively cope with the challenges associated with severe burns. Such educational efforts can support women in reclaiming their position and improving their overall well-being.

重度烧伤女性自我定位重建的定性研究。
背景:女性在经历严重烧伤后可能面临的挑战之一是她们的社会和婚姻角色的转变。他们重新扮演这些角色的过程尚不清楚。目的:本研究旨在探讨女性如何通过工作来恢复其婚姻和社会地位。方法:本定性研究采用开放式问题进行面对面、半结构化访谈。16名严重烧伤的女性参与了这项研究。数据收集一直进行到没有新信息出现(数据饱和),然后使用传统的内容分析方法进行分析。本研究按照定性研究报告标准(SRQR)进行。结果:出现了两个主题和六个副主题:婚姻生活中自我地位的一致性(自我牺牲、角色的连续性、性关系的正常化)和社会互动(社会孤立、与社区互动时依赖内部力量、利用现有支持)。结论:严重烧伤后,女性往往努力重建自己在婚姻和社会关系中的角色。医护专业人员,包括护士和医生,可以发挥至关重要的作用,教育幸存者及其家属(特别是他们的配偶)如何有效地应对与严重烧伤有关的挑战。这种教育努力可以支持妇女重新获得她们的地位,改善她们的整体福利。
