This study explored how female burn survivors construct the meaning of their traumatic experience of a burn accident and the subsequent changes in their lives.Methods: A qualitative study was conducted using narrative inquiry. Participants were recruited through purposive sampling, and each engaged in three in-depth interviews, resulting in a total of 21 interviews between April 18, 2024, and August 1, 2024. Each interview lasted 90 minutes on average and was conducted in a comfortable location preferred by the participants. The collected data were analyzed through Connelly and Clandinin\u2019s approach.Results: The participants were seven women with burns on the full body, face-upper limbs, or face-torso. All burns were third- to fourth-degree, and most participants had lived with these injuries for over 10 years. From the significant statements, five themes and 12 subthemes were extracted. The five themes were \u201cunforeseen catastrophe,\u201d \u201cburn scars encroaching upon daily life,\u201d \u201cnavigating life as an incomplete woman,\u201d \u201cexclusion from social integration,\u201d and \u201cthe meaning of life deepened by suppressed pain.\u201dConclusion: Female burn survivors experienced immense hardships following their accidents. However, through their recovery efforts, they found new meaning in life, experienced a renewed sense of being alive, and achieved inner growth and maturity. This study highlights the need for social support and underscores the importance of providing various opportunities and policy assistance for female burn survivors dealing with trauma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4040\/jkan.25003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,1]],"date-time":"2025-08-01T04:29:01Z","timestamp":1754022541000},"page":"425-439","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4040\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Life changes following trauma in female burn survivors: a narrative inquiry"],"prefix":"10.4040","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7035-3619","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Riah","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-3100-4468","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Inyoung","family":"Choe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-0401-0425","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ji-Su","family":"Yun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2649-4972","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Heeseung","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2474","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0197507"},{"volume-title":"Burns [Internet]","year":"2018","key":"ref2"},{"volume-title":"Statistics on diseases and medical practices in daily life [Internet]","year":"2023","key":"ref3"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2014.01.021"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BCR.0000000000000525"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1740-1445(03)00005-6"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.22867\/kaqsw.2019.13.3.69"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5762\/KAIS.2016.17.1.45"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.19.2.403-434.2006"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/burnst\/tkaa047"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7731\/KIFSE.2015.29.4.095"},{"key":"ref12","first-page":"100","volume-title":"Influencing predictors of quality of life in burn patients","author":"Park","year":"2005"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychores.2007.09.003"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/09540260903344107"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/s0036-46652007000600006"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2020.06.002"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2020.09.008"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2015.11.012"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2011.09.006"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2015.09.011"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4040\/jkan.2019.49.3.263"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00981389.2018.1503213"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ASW.0000734380.80661.cc"},{"key":"ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0030222818755286"},{"key":"ref25","first-page":"477","volume-title":"","author":"Connelly","year":"2012"},{"key":"ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5505\/tjtes.2015.88261"},{"key":"ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.24301\/MHSW.2022.12.50.4.32"},{"key":"ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15703\/kjccsp.3.1.201806.71"},{"volume-title":"","year":"2022","author":"Geiger","key":"ref29"},{"volume-title":"Narrative inquiry in educational research: the concept, procedure, and dilemmas.
