Objective: To analyze the sociodemographic and self-esteem profile in burn patients at the hospital reference. Method: A qualitative study, with 20 patients from the burn-center in a public hospital between January 2017 to December 2018. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to characterize the sample, the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, at the moment of hospital discharge or the first control after it. Result: Most of the patients were men (75%), 39.49 years of age (average), married (65%), with social support (60%), burn injuries caused by domestic accident (50%), second-degree burns (65%), fire as predominant agent (30%). The average of hospitalization was 43 days [34-58]. Men up to 41 years old, married and with social support presented best self-esteem scores. Conclusion: Being man, married with social support is associated with better self-esteem scores in burn patients hospitalized, mostly, with second-degree burns caused by fire flame in a domestic accident (body area affected: 15%-30%).
