Acute Hospitalisation

Over recent decades, with the introduction of specialist units for the treatment of severely burnt patients, a volume of literature on psychological aspects of burns has accumulated, containing anecdote and opinion as well as research of varying quality. This literature is reviewed under three headings: epidemiology and prevention; reactions following acute hospitalisation; and long-term outcomes. Adverse personal, health, and social factors may predispose to burn injury. In hospital, the psychological course of the patient proceeds in stages that can be related to the well-recognised reactions to loss and overwhelming stress, modified by the major physiological insult. Reactions of family and staff are of great significance. In the longer term, rehabilitation prospects are generally good, although recovery may be complicated by a gradually subsiding level of neurotic symptoms and relationship difficulties.

Prominent Ears

AbstractProminent ears are the most frequent congenital deformity in the head and neck region. Anatomy of normal and prominent ears as well as the psychological aspects of prominent ears are reviewed. Two types of surgical technique are described with emphasis on the cartilage-sparing technique.A sound pre-operative analysis, focusing on all partsof the deformity, and surgical techniques which are gradually applied to these deformities should result in pleasing, permanent changes for the vast majority of patients. In our opinion, a combination of cartilage-sparing techniques augmented with cartilage-weakeningprocedures give predictable long-term results with a natural appearing ear and concomitant few, easily treated complications.

The Past

During the past decade, there has been a rapid increase in the number of published experiments on short-term memory. These have been stimulated by a clash between some investigators who regarded that form of memory as having distinct and peculiar qualities, and others who contended that the same principles apply both to short-term and to long-term memory. This latter group in particular wished to make use of the principle of associative interference, which has been established as of major importance in long-term memory. That is, much forgetting is due to the need to remember other things, rather than to deterioration of the desired memory itself. All parties now agree that an ‘iconic’ or ‘pre-perceptual’ storage exists, to which the principles of long-term memory do not apply. Once information has passed beyond this stage, however, it is clear that these principles do play a part even in short-term memory; but that there are nevertheless some major experimental differences between memory over short periods and over long periods.

The Impact

Disasters, both natural and manmade, seem to be occurring with increasing frequency in the United States and around the world. A single incident may affect many thousands of people. Collectively, many millions feel the impact of disaster every year. Addressing the psychological elements of such events has become recognized as a vital component of preparation, immediate response, and long-term recovery. This chapter reviews the major psychological aspects of disasters and disaster mental health (DMH) and highlights the importance of psychosocial assistance to survivors, responders, and others. DMH is designed to comfort and stabilize those affected, to promote effective coping, and to help maintain and restore inherent functioning. Factors that inhibit greater provision and utilization of these services are discussed, as is the importance of responding appropriately within the cultural environment of affected populations.

Schooling is known to influence a wide range of economic, social and psychological aspects of people’s life, but children with medical needs are subject to school failure more often than their healthy peers. The aim of this paper is to review different school options available to the paediatrics community for the education of children with medical needs. Hospital school, home tuition and mainstream school re-entry are examined. Critical aspects for each type of solution are discussed. The provision and stability of adequate educational opportunities for children with medical needs represents an important area of collaboration between doctors, educators and parents for the prevention of long-term consequences of illnesses and therapies.
