Burn is one of the highly occurring injuries worldwide. In case of an acid attack, survivors are considered an embarrassing element for the family. In other words, survivors' dignity is judged by the scars on their faces and bodies. Burn survivors experience physical pain of wounds, along with unseen psychological agony. Here, resilience is the most captivating phenomenon that can lead the survivor to normalcy in life after experiencing such traumas. The current study is aimed to explore the role of resilience in the psychological distress of burn survivors. ⋯ The findings of current study would be helpful for the medical professionals, mental healthcare providers, and policymakers who can help to develop and implement rehabilitation programs and mental health demands for the said population and can initiate and plan resilience promoting programs that would help promote adaptive coping to deal with trauma.
