Abstract

Offering peer support to burn patients throughout the recovery process provides a sense of belonging and shared experiences that foster hope. Peer support connects survivors and their families and has been shown to have a positive impact for patients in inpatient and outpatient settings. Data is limited on the effects of providing support from both supporter and patient viewpoints, which setting is preferred, and if multiple visits are more beneficial than a single visit.
