Abstract

Objective

Burn injuries are prevalent worldwide, especially in developing countries; and there are significant children burn injuries in Palestine. This study was performed to analyse the pattern, cause, of burn injuries in Palestine.

Methods

Prospective study, we undertook a prospective study of all patients under 6 years who admitted to burn unit 1 January 2022, and 31 December 2022. In-person interviews with the children's parents determined the burns' genesis and environmental causes. Demographic and clinical data were obtained.

Result

The population being studied had a mean age of 3.1 years. The majority of the 91 patients who were burned did so because of scalds. Flame 10 sufferers represented 60% of the patients; 60% were residents of urban areas. Five people were living in residence. Most of the children (81 of the total) were with another person at the time of the burn injury, and the kitchen was the location of the burn in 41 cases.

Conclusion

The patients' crowded environment was a challenge. Even when an adult was close, the caretaker did not watch the child well. Burns are likely in the kitchen, where people cook and eat harmful foods. First, ensure the kitchen is safe, and then apply other safety procedures around the house to decrease the danger of burns to children.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
