A mixed methods study investigating patient's initial experiences after acquiring a surgical scar, burn injury, and/or amputation
Whilst many participants reported satisfaction with viewing their appearance for the first time, some participants reported significant distress and a need for further support around this experience. This suggests an important role for healthcare providers in discussing expectations and providing appropriate patient support following injury or treatment.
