Abstract

|
|
Recently acute stress disorder was classified in DSM-IV. This study was performed to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with acute stress disorder after burn injury. The symptoms were reported at 1.7 days after burn injury, and
the
patients were referred to psychiatric department 5.5 days after the symptoms reported. Two of 17 patients were diagnosed as posttraumatic stress disorder later. The patients with acute stress disorder were not different from the patients without
acute
stress disorder in age, sex, educational level. But the percentage of burn area and the degree of burn were higher in acute stress disorder patients. There were no differences in duration of admission, duration of ICU care, number of dressing,
and
number of operation between the acute stress disorder group and the control group. The results support that the objective severity of stress : related with the occurrence of acute stress disorder.
