C-751-07. Self-esteem, Guilt, and Shame in Adult Burn Survivors: Is There a Connection?
Overview
This study examines the association between self-esteem and self-conscious emotions, specifically guilt and shame, in a sample of 40 adult burn survivors. Using standardized scales, the authors report that lower self-esteem correlates with higher proneness to guilt and shame, with significant differences observed by gender but not by scar visibility or perceived family support. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in psychosocial recovery factors among this specific population.
