Article Synopsis
- Burn injuries create significant physical, psychological, and social difficulties for survivors, which require effective coping strategies to manage.
- This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Brief COPE (BCOPE) scale in hospitalized burn patients (n = 362), identifying its factor structure and construct validity.
- The analysis revealed seven coping strategy factors, including active and avoidant coping, and established that BCOPE scores correlate with distress measures, indicating the scale's reliability and usefulness in understanding stress and coping in burn injury management.
