Efficacy of a burn-specific cognitive-behavioral group training. Issue 2 (March 2015) - Seehausen, Annika
Highlights We evaluated a newly developed cognitive-behavioral group training for burn patients. After group intervention, general symptom severity and posttraumatic stress decreased in the intervention group but not in the treatment as usual control group. Optimism increased in the intervention group but not in the control group. In both groups overall quality of life improved gradually over the three assessment points. The group intervention had a positive effect on psychological well-being and resources of burn patients.
