“…The rehabilitation process includes difficulties in performing physical activities due to scar contractures and pain, which are inherent to the treatment of scars after hospital discharge and obstacles in returning to social activities. [10] Nurses have a key role in helping burn patients to adapt and cope with their new body image and provide the patients with information about treatment and complications of burn. Partridge in his study [11] suggested that in the case of training and participation in self-care training programs was beneficial for burn patient as health care would be more expensive and cause impairment in the QOL.…”

“…The team approach to burn care is well established in the literature, and is recognised as essential for enhancing patient outcomes (Al-Mousawi et al 2009). It is evident from this study that a multidisciplinary team approach is being employed in paediatric burn care, particularly in the areas of swallowing, tracheostomy and orofacial contracture management.…”

To date, little is known regarding the extent and nature of involvement of speech-language pathology (SLP) services within paediatric burn settings. The aim of this clinical service study was to investigate the role of SLP services within burn teams across Australia and New Zealand. Eleven paediatric burn units were identified as members of the Australian and New Zealand Burn Association Bi National Burns Registry. Representatives from both Burn Units and SLP departments at each setting were sent a link to a purpose-built online questionnaire. Seven representatives from eight centres were received, with paired responses [burn units and SLP departments] being obtained from six centres. Paediatric burn units and SLP departments were found to differ in perceptions of SLP involvement in burn care.No Burn Units reported utilization of a protocol for referral to SLP. Dysphagia, followed by orofacial contracture management was the most frequently reported areas of SLP involvement, and multidisciplinary contribution within these areas was recognised. A majority (71%) of SLP Departments reported involvement with chemical ingestion injury; however referral rates were low.This study confirms that SLP services are utilised within Australian and New Zealand paediatric burn units, and SLPs are involved with paediatric patients with chemical ingestion injuries. However, potential exists for increased SLP input. There is also evident need for established guidelines surrounding referrals and greater education regarding the role of SLPs within paediatric burn care.4
