“…The interventions varied from single modalities such as educational books [ 26 , 27 ] and storytelling [ 28 ] to structured multi-modality educational training programmes that combine learning strategies such as lectures, written materials and practical workshops [ 25 , 29 , 30 ]. Four of the studies aimed to prevent burn injuries alone [ 26–28 , 30 ] and two studies aimed to prevent burns as well as other injuries such as falls and drownings [ 25 , 29 ]. The outcomes measured included knowledge in five studies and the incidence of burns in two studies.…”

“…The outcomes measured included knowledge in five studies and the incidence of burns in two studies. As it turned out, the single modality studies [ 26–28 ], adopted a pre-post design without contemporaneous controls while the multi-modality training programmes [ 25 , 29 , 30 ] all used contemporaneous control groups; one of these was a cluster RCT [ 25 ]. Five of the six studies used questionnaires to assess children’s knowledge before and after the educational intervention, of which three studies noted significant improvements [ 25 , 26 , 28 ].…”

Burn injury prevention in low- and middle- income countries: scoping systematic review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Burn injuries are a leading cause of morbidity and disability, with the burden of disease being disproportionately higher in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Burn prevention programmes have led to significant reductions in the incidence of burns in high-income countries. However, a previous systematic review published in 2015 highlighted that implementation and evaluation of similar programmes has been limited in LMIC. The objective of this scoping review and narrative synthesis was to summarise and understand the initiatives that have been carried out to reduce burn injuries in LMIC and their effectiveness. Methods We aimed to identify publications that described studies of effectiveness of burn prevention interventions applied to any population within a LMIC and measured burn incidence or burns-related outcomes. Suitable publications were identified from three sources. Firstly, data was extracted from manuscripts identified in the systematic review published by Rybarczyk et al . We then performed a search for manuscripts on burn prevention interventions published between January 2015 and September 2020. Finally, we extracted data from two systematic reviews where burn evidence was not the primary outcome, which were identified by senior authors. A quality assessment and narrative synthesis of included manuscripts were performed. Results In total, 24 manuscripts were identified and categorized according to intervention type. The majority of manuscripts ( n = 16) described education-based interventions. Four manuscripts focused on environmental modification interventions and four adopted a mixed-methods approach. All of the education-based initiatives demonstrated improvements in knowledge relating to burn safety or first aid, however few measured the impact of their intervention on burn incidence. Four manuscripts described population-based educational interventions and noted reductions in burn incidence. Only one of the four manuscripts describing environmental modification interventions reported burns as a primary outcome measure, noting a reduction in burn incidence. All mixed-method interventions demonstrated some positive improvements in either burn incidence or burns-related safety practices. Conclusion There is a lack of published literature describing large-scale burn prevention programmes in LMIC that can demonstrate sustained reductions in burn incidence. Population-level, collaborative projects are necessary to drive forward burn prevention through specific environmental or legislative changes and supplementary educational programmes.

Prevention of childhood unintentional injuries in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Injuries are a leading cause of death and disability among children. Numerous injury prevention strategies have been successful in high-income countries, but the majority of unintentional injuries happen to children living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This project aims to delineate the childhood injury prevention initiatives in LMICs. For inclusion, peer-reviewed articles needed to address unintentional injury, include children <18, assess a prevention-related intervention, contain a control group, and be published after 1988. Two pairs of reviewers evaluated articles independently to determine study eligibility. 74 articles were included. 30 studies addressed road traffic injuries, 11 drowning, 8 burns, 3 falls, 8 poisonings, and 21 an unspecified injury type. The findings show positive effects on injury outcome measures following educational interventions, the need for longer follow-up periods after the intervention, the need for effectiveness trials for behavior change, and the need for an increase in injury prevention services in LMICs. This is the first systematic review to summarize the prevention initiatives for all types of childhood unintentional injuries in LMICs. Increased attention and funding are required to go beyond educational initiatives with self-reported measures and little follow-up time to robust interventions that will reduce the global burden of unintentional injuries among children.
