Significance of the research
The projects within the SwedBurn network all in one way or another aim to improve the acute care as well as
rehabilitation after burns with the goal of optimizing the long term outcome for the patients.
The multidisciplinary qualifications of the network facilitate research into biological and psychological
mechanisms of adaptation, development of validated clinical instruments, and clinical interventions. The network
provides the opportunity to study a nationwide population of patients with burns which increases the
possibility of obtaining highly representative samples.
One important aspect is development of interventions that are easily applicable in burn care and in the burn
population that has a vast geographical spread. One such approach is internet-based cognitive behavioural
treatment for psychological problems.
Burn injury provides an excellent model for severe trauma with a protracted recovery. Therefore, the results
can be generalized and facilitate the development of new treatment strategies that can improve outcome also
after other severe conditions with an increased risk for maladation due to the accumulated effect of
psychiatric morbidity and postinjury somatic problems.
