Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the psychoemotional state of elderly patients with burns and to analyze the impact of psychoemotional support on disease progression and recovery. A comparative study was conducted between two groups of patients – those who received and those who did not receive psychoemotional support. Assessment tools included the GDS, HADS, and VAS scales, as well as subjective indicators such as quality of sleep, appetite, treatment engagement, and laboratory tests. The findings indi cate that comprehensive psychoemotional support has a positive effect in reducing anxiety, depression, and pain, and also contributes to shorter hospital stays.
