A questionnaire was developed to gain information on the medical, social and psychological rehabilitation of 62 burn patients. The questionnaire was answered by each patient and a close relative of their choice. The patients selected were those with burns involving hands and face, or with burns exceeding 30% of the body surface area. The returned questionnaires were analysed with respect to posttraumatic care, the extent of physical reconstruction, changes in personality and social behaviour, occupation, workman's compensation and cause of accident.
