  • Title: The fear-avoidance model: helping patients to cope with disfigurement.
    Author: Newell R.
    Journal: Nurs Times; ; 98(16):38-9. PubMed ID: 11997994.
    Abstract:
    Last week's article established that body disfigurement affects a considerable number of people and causes them significant distress. It also explored how a cognitive behavioural model of psychological disturbance might inform our understanding of the difficulties faced by people with disfigurement. This week's article examines the practical application of the fear-avoidance model and discusses how it can be used by nurses as a means of providing general advice and more specialist intervention.
