Abstract

Background: Major Burns have long lasting impact on physical, psychological and social wellbeing. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of pre-discharge multimedia self-care education on burn specific health among patients with burn. A quasi experimental research design was utilized. Setting: The study was conducted at Burn Center, Mansoura University Hospitals, Egypt. A convenient sample consisting of 100 adult patients with burn; 50 patients as experimental group and 50 as control group. Two tools were used in data collection; a structured interviewing questionnaire, and Brief Burn Specific Health Scale (BSHS-B). Results revealed positive outcome on different areas of the Burn Specific Health scores of patients in the experimental group after implementation of the multimedia self-care education. Conclusion: The multimedia self-care education had positive effect on improving the burn specific health scores of the patients in the experimental group. Recommendation; Continuous educational programs for patient with burn in order to improve their health scores, replication and expanded studies are also needed.
