“…Elsherbiny et al [35] revealed that burns has several complications on most dimensions of the QOL of patients with burns. In the same line Grisbrook et al, [36] who showed that completing a 12-week exercise program would improve the QOL of these patients. The results of our study contradict with Roh et al, [37] who showed that the impact of skin rehabilitation program on the QOL of burn patients is not significant and the study recommended that further studies with the use of the program should be done with more samples and in a longer duration.…”

There was statistically significant improvement of self-esteem and QOL among burn patients post-intervention than pre-intervention. Conclusions: The overall findings in the present study revealed that implementing self-care nursing intervention model at burn unit was effective when providing care as it encouraged patient to be an active participant in care and had a significant improvement of self-care management, self-esteem and QOL among burn patients.

Objectives Exercise programs capable of contributing positively to the long-term rehabilitation of burn patients should be included in outpatient rehabilitation programs. However, the extent and intensity of the resistance and cardiopulmonary exercise prescribed are unclear. This study was conducted to investigate the existence, design, content, and prescription of outpatient cardiopulmonary and resistance exercise programs within outpatient burn rehabilitation. Methods A survey was designed to gather information on existing exercise programs for burn survivors and assess the extent to which they are included in overall outpatient rehabilitation programs. Three hundred and twenty seven surveys were distributed among licensed physical and occupational therapists part of the American Burn Association Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy Special Interest Group. Results One hundred and three surveys were completed. Eighty-two percent of respondents indicated that their institutions offered outpatient therapy following discharge. The frequency of therapists’ contact with patients during this period varied greatly. Interestingly, 81% of therapists stated that no hospital-based cardiopulmonary endurance exercise programs were available. Patients’ physical function was infrequently determined through the use of cardiopulmonary parameters (oxygen consumption, heart rate) or muscle strength. Instead, more subjective parameters such as range of motion (75%), manual muscle testing (61%), and quality of life (61%) were used. Conclusion Prescription and follow-up assessment of cardiopulmonary endurance training are inconsistent among institutions, underscoring the need for greater awareness of the importance of exercise in any burn rehabilitation program. Identification of cardiopulmonary and progressive resistance parameters for establishing and tracking exercise training is also needed to maximize exercise-induced benefits.
