Résumé
Les personnes gravement brûlées au visage sont confrontées à un long processus de réadaptation à la vie sociale. L’altération de l’image du corps met à l’épreuve leur identité et les interactions quotidiennes. L’épreuve du miroir, lors de laquelle le personnel infirmier aide les patients à regarder leurs blessures, est une étape clé de la prise en charge par les soignants, mais aussi de la transition du monde hospitalier vers le monde social.
People with severe facial burns face a long process of readjustment to social life. Altered body image challenges their identity and daily interactions. The mirror test, in which nurses help patients to look at their wounds, is a key step in the care given by carers, but also in the transition from the hospital world to the social world.
