“…This contrasts with two earlier studies, by Pillay et al (2016) and , which both reported that the slow progress of scar management negatively impacted upon adherence to wearing compression garments. With the effectiveness of compression garments debated within the burn literature, it is important to acknowledge the unique insight gained from patients in the current study regarding the overall positive impact on scarring from wearing compression garments.…”

“…Martin and colleagues (2016) study discussed the differing approaches of patients to wearing compression garments in public from avoidant and reserved to outgoing. The desire to choose bold garment colours expressed by some participants in this current study is in contrast to an earlier study that reported all patients' strong colour preference for black and brown garments (Pillay, Visagie, & Mji, 2016). Burn patient perspectives of perceived effectiveness of wearing compression garments for scar management were also explored in this study.…”

“…This study utilised a phenomenological approach to explore burn patient experiences of compression garments with data collected from patient interviews. Results of this additional study (Pillay et al, 2016) described To the author's knowledge, there has not been an in-depth exploration of the patient experiences post burn injury, experiences that limit the wearing of compression garments and what strategies or changes in service provision could be implemented to improve the experience for patients. In particular there had been limited description about the impact of wearing compression garments post burn injury and the experiences of patients within the burn service.…”

“…Most participants also reported removing their garments for special occasions, particularly if they needed to dress more formally. Previous research regarding compression garment adherence (Pillay et al, 2016;) had identified barriers to wearing compression garments that reduced patient adherence over time,…”

“…The occupational therapists reported some apprehensions regarding peer support and expressed concern about how appropriate peer support could be implemented within the burn unit. There is limited research which has explored education provided by previous patients, with only one study (Pillay et al, 2016) demonstrating the increased patient knowledge gained from interacting with former patients can facilitate wearing of compression garments. A number of studies completed in the burns field have explored peer support and the utilisation of the different methods of peer support including formal, organised one-to-one sessions or support groups Papamikrouli, van Schie, Schoenmaker, Boekelaar-vd Berge & Gebhard, 2017;.…”

Effectiveness of interventions for optimising adherence to treatments for the prevention and management of scars: A systematic review

2020

Objectives: To identify the adherence interventions used with people receiving treatments to prevent or manage scarring, the effectiveness of these interventions, and the theoretical frameworks on which these interventions were based. Data sources: Databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsychINFO and OTseeker) were searched (09.10.2020) with no date or language restrictions. Grey literature databases, clinical trial registries and references lists of key papers were also searched. Review methods: Eligible randomised controlled trials included people using treatments for scarring following skin wounds, interventions that may improve adherence, and outcomes measuring adherence. Risk of bias (selection, performance, detection, attrition, reporting) and certainty of evidence (inconsistency, imprecision, indirectness, publication bias) were assessed. Results: Four randomised trials were included with 224 participants (17 children) with burn scars. Interventions involved educational (three trials) or technology-based components (four trials) and ranged in length from two weeks to six months. All four trials reported greater adherence rates in the intervention group compared with standard practice [standardised mean difference = 1.50 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.91–2.08); 2.01 (95% CI 1.05–2.98); odds ratio = 0.28 (95% CI = 0.11–0.69)]. One trial did not report original data. The certainty of evidence was very low. Conclusion: Adherence interventions using education or technology for people receiving burn scar treatment may improve adherence. Further studies are needed particularly in children, with a focus on including outcomes of importance to patients (e.g. quality of life) and identifying core components of effective adherence interventions using theoretical frameworks.

This final 2016 edition of SAJOT also marks the last of the special celebratory issues to commemorate the 40 year anniversary of the Department of Occupational Therapy, University of the Free State.
