Abstract

This article discusses a qualitative study that explores the psychological impact of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) on children and young people (CYP) and their families. The study involved interviews with 13 CYP who had experienced SJS/TEN and their parents. The findings reveal that CYP and their parents experienced significant psychological trauma during and after the illness, including symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. The study also highlights the lack of longer-term psychological support and the need for improved services and support for families affected by SJS/TEN. [Extracted from the article]
