Background: Being subjected to an extensive burn injury affects the victim´s physique, social life and its psyche. A burn injury can be determined as a trauma. Burn injuries often make the patient suffer from pain, anxiety and lack of a social life. Sister Callista Roy´s theory was used to analyze the result of the study. One of her goal is to promote the adaptive function of self-perception. Aim: The aim of this literature review was to describe how patients with extensive burns and their families experienced the return to daily life. Method: This literature review is based on four qualitative and four quantitative scientific articles. Results: The results showed that family support played a major role in the patient´s life after the burn injury, it is important for the further rehabilitation. Burned patients use different coping strategies to solve this particularly traumatic situation. Several of the burn victims experienced an altered self-image as a burn injury changes the appearance. Many felt that it restrained them from participating in social contexts. Result is based on three different themes: I and myself, I together with my family and I together with the society. Conclusion: Patients and their family adapt to changes in their daily life different. Development of strategies was important to be able to return to daily life. Therefore, it is important for nurses to provide information on different strategies.

Recent years have brought the private and non-profit sectors closer together in terms of cross-sectional collaborations. As businesses have become more involved in communities, initiatives such as employee volunteering (EV)—where employees are encouraged to volunteer by their employers—are becoming more popular and are receiving more scholarly attention. However, the question still remains as to whether the main reasons behind cooperation are related to strategy: does interaction and communication in EV mirror a more ideal- or strategic approach? As EV programmes (EVPs) bring together actors with different world-views and perspectives, much can be learned from studying their interaction. The present study examined the nature of communication in EV and whether this communication reflects a strategic (based on self-interest) or ideal (corresponding to Habermas’s ideal speech situation and stakeholder dialogue) approach. In addition, the study looked at factors that, according to participants, facilitate improved communication and understanding in EV. The findings indicate that communication in EVPs largely reflected the strategic approach. However, the ideal approach is still apparent in some situations and can successfully be used given the right conditions--for example, in situations of long-term collaboration with increased experience when participants invest time, resources and motivation in building relationships. Time and honesty was also important factors. However, a range of barriers made collaboration more difficult. Pursuit of strategic short-term solutions and shortage of resources and time may hinder important dialogue and understanding.
