Abstract

At the patient's bedside 24 hours a day, the nurse is at the heart of the rehabilitation management of the severely burnt patient: installation, technical dressings, supervision of postures and placement of compressors, to limit the functional consequences to the type of retractable and hypertrophic scars. The nurse takes care of the patient in this long journey leading to social reintegration; from accompaniment to autonomy and acceptance of self-image.

Keywords: acceptance; acceptation; brûlure grave; functional dressing; pansement fonctionnel; parcours de soins; rehabilitation; rééducation; severe burn.
