“…More than 95% of burns occur in developing and underdeveloped countries (Peck et al, 2009). In Iran, with a population of 79 million, 150000 people are affected annually (Azizi, 2014), which is much more than America's 500,000 people out of a population of 320 million.…”

“…Wound healing and its effect on elongation of the hospitalization period is a major economic problem facing the physical therapists and other members of burn rehabilitation. As funding for health care becomes a national concern, it may become the responsibility of burn specialists to create a cost-effective approach to quality burn rehabilitation [4]. Therefore, development of new and effective interventions in wound care, which are nontoxic, minimally invasive, and economically feasible for improving wound healing, remains an area of intense research.…”

Abstract:Background: Acute burns of the hands are complex and may impact on various aspects of a person's life. Physiotherapy rehabilitation and restoration of hand function is critical for the patient's independence and re-integration into society. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the perceptions and experiences of physiotherapists in the management of patients with their hand burn injuries. Method: Five focus groups consisting of physiotherapists and physiotherapy assistants working with burn injured patients from each of the five selected public hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal were recruited. An explorative qualitative approach was adopted. Results: Physiotherapists emphasised that the acute management of the hand was trivialised due to a primary focus on the survival of the burn sufferer. Therapists identified several factors that determined the patients' level of participation and motivation in therapy one of which was the procedural pain experienced. The role of the therapists' within the rehabilitation framework was found to be critical to their recovery however there appeared to be a breakdown in the collaboration and communication among health care professionals to the detriment of effective intervention. Conclusion: A multidisciplinary team approach is the foundation in the management of acute burn injuries and during the trajectory of the trauma care continuum.
