ABSTRACT
Multiple reports have demonstrated a wide prevalence of both depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within 1 year of burn injury. The purpose of this study is to determine outcomes of burn patients after a positive outpatient screen for depression or PTSD at an American Burn Association-verified burn center. All patients who screened positive were offered referral for psychologic and/or psychiatric counseling. Rescreening was performed with a goal of approximately 6 months. A total of 445 patients were enrolled with 91 (20.6%) screening positive for depression and 59 (13.4%) for PTSD. TBSA burned was associated with a positive screen for depression (P = .008) and PTSD (P = .012) while electrical injury was associated with a positive screen for depression (P = .029). Rescreening was done in 15.5% with 23% rescreening positive for depression and 15% for PTSD. The study validated the need for early screening and referral for psychologic and/or psychiatric counseling in this population.
