Abstract
The authors examined ratings on a scale of pain-related anxiety in 173 burn patients in three groups: patients with small burns, patients with moderate burns and patients with extensive burns. The data suggest a greater degree of anxiety during procedures and before procedures in the burn patients with extensive burns than in burn patients with small and moderate burns. This study introduces a novel measure of pain-related anxiety in clinical burn patients, the abbreviated Burn Specific Pain Anxiety Scale (BSPAS), which showed a high degree of reliability. The alpha coefficients were high for the BSPAS subscales.
