| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to understand the impact of burn scars on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) from the perspective of adults and children with burn scars, and caregivers to inform the development of a conceptual model of burn scar HRQOL. Twenty-one participants (adults and children) with burn scars and nine caregivers participated in semi-structured, face-to-face interviews between 2012 and 2013. During the interviews, participants were asked to describe features about their (or their child's) burn scars and its impact on everyday life. Two coders conducted thematic analysis, with consensus achieved through discussion and review with a third coder. The literature on HRQOL models was then reviewed to further inform the development of a conceptual model of burn scar HRQOL. Five themes emerged from the qualitative data: 'physical and sensory symptoms', 'impact of burn scar interventions', 'impact of burn scar symptoms', 'personal factors' and 'change over time'. Caregivers offered further insights into family functioning after burn, and the impacts of burn scars and burn scar interventions on family life. In the conceptual model, symptoms (sensory and physical) of burn scars are considered proximal to HRQOL, with distal indicators including functioning (physical, emotional, social, cognitive), individual factors and the environment. Overall quality of life was affected by HRQOL. Understanding the impact of burn scars on HRQOL and the development of a conceptual model will inform future burn scar research and clinical practice. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 June 2016.
All research outputs
#7,896,698
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Burns (03054179)
#574
of 2,042 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#117,940
of 403,316 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Burns (03054179)
#9
of 42 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,042 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 403,316 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 42 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
