Introduction treatment of severe burn injury generally requires enormous human and material resources including specialized intensive care, staged surgery, and continued restoration. This contributes to the enormous burden on patients and their families. The cost of burn treatment is influenced by many factors including the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patient. This study aimed to determine the costs of burn care and its associated predictive factors in Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Ghana. Methods an analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 65 consenting adult patients on admission at the Burns Centre of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients as well as the direct cost of burns treatment were obtained. Multiple regression analysis was done to determine the predictors of the direct cost of burn care. Results a total of sixty-five (65) participants were enrolled in the study with a male-to-female ratio of 1.4: 1 and a mean age of 35.9 ± 14.6 years. Nearly 85% sustained between 10-30% total body surface area burns whilst only 6.2% (4) had burns more than 30% of total body surface area. The mean total cost of burns treatment was GHS 22,333.15 (USD 3,897.58). Surgical treatment, wound dressing and medication charges accounted for 45.6%, 27.5% and 9.8% of the total cost of burn respectively. Conclusion the direct costs of burn treatment were substantially high and were predicted by the percentage of total body surface area burn and length of hospital stay.

“…In India, most burns occur in the domestic environment. The mortality is high and the social, psychological (disfigurement) and physical trauma that affect survivors greatly diminish the quality of life [15]. In the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) the incidence is 187 per 100,000 per year compared to a lowest incidence in the Americas, which is19 per 100,00 per year and a highest incidence in South East Asia, which is 243 per 100,000 per year.…”

Burn injuries are considered, worldwide, one of the leading causes of injury, morbidity and mortality. Second-degree burns may affect patients: physically, socially and psychologically. The aim of the study is to identify the physical, social, and psychological needs of patients with second degree burns to suggest are habilitation program and follow up care that will improve quality of life after acute stage recovery. To achieve the aima descriptive research was undertaken. The study was conducted at the outpatient clinic of a burn unit, affiliated to a University hospital, in Cairo, Egypt. A convenience sample of 154 patients with second degree burns from both genders and aged 18 years old or above were the subjects of the study. Five tools were adopted for data collection: 1) An interview sheet, 2) Brief burn specific health scale (BSHS-B), 3)Self-esteem scale, 4) Body image and appearance scale, and 5) Social needs assessment. The results revealed that patients with second degree burns need physical, social, and psychological support to pass through the life-threatening experience. There is a highly statistically significant relation among bio-psychosocial needs for patents with second degree burn. Second degree burns affect patients' physical, psychological, and social well-being and preparation is needed to achieve a healthy recovery. The study recommends the implementation of a health awareness program to overcome the incidence of problems due to burns that might have a serious impact on the quality of life. A targeted rehabilitation program will enhance physical, psychological, and social adaptation as well as a healthy reintegration to the society.
