“…The demographic characteristics and burn history of children with burns were similar to our results. Santos et al (20) reported that burn injuries were found higher among boys and that most burns were due to hot liquid or objects in Portugal. In studies by Han et al (21) conducted in Central China and by Nthumba (24) conducted in sub-Saharan Africa, it was shown that boys had higher burn injuries than girls.…”

“…Burn injuries cause life-changing events for both children and their families (18,19). The European Burns Association recommends that health professionals in burn centers should provide the treatment of all aspects of burns and that burn centers should provide comprehensive and continuous burn care, including both physical and psychosocial care in patients with burns (20). In our study, we evaluated the relationship between self-esteem and social anxiety in adolescents with burns.…”

Objective: Burns are complex, traumatic incidents including significant morbidity and impairment of psychological, emotional, and physical well-being. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-esteem and social anxiety in adolescents with burns. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive research design was used. The research was carried out in the 12-bed Pediatric Burn Center with 86 adolescents. The data collection form, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Social Anxiety Scale for Children was used. Comparisons were made at the p<.05 significance level for statistical analyses. Results: Hot liquid (31.4%), chemicals (22.1%), flames (17.4%), electricity (16.3%), and contact with hot objects (12.8%) were burn factors. It was determined that 81.4% of the participants had a scar/mark. The total body surface area of the burn was determined as 1%-10% (61.6%), 10%-25% (32.6%), ≥50% (3.5%), and 25%-50% (2.3%). The multiple linear regression model established according to the effects of self-esteem scores and socio-demographic variables on children’s social anxiety was statistically significant (F(20.65)=2.384, p<.05). In the study, 42.6% of the variance in the scores on the social anxiety scale for children was explained by self-esteem scores and socio-demographic variables. Self-esteem scores predicted children’s social anxiety scores statistically positively and significantly (B=4.413, t=4.139, p<.05). Conclusion: The study revealed that there was relation between low self-esteem and high social anxiety in adolescents with burns in line with our study question, while there is no relation between characteristics of children and burn history in children.

“…Furthermore, there is a worldwide trend toward an increase in the number of new cases [ 3 ], which raises several healthcare concerns, particularly in countries where health systems are more vulnerable [ 1 , 2 , 5 ]. Portugal is following this trend, with 20% of the total cases being children under five years of age [ 13 ], with a median length of hospital stay of nine days, and higher average hospital costs than other countries (around 3073 euros) [ 14 ]. Despite this scenario, few studies on pediatric burns were conducted in Portugal, with the existing studies being mostly retrospective observational and focused on demographic and clinical burden indicators, e.g., [ 13 , 14 ].…”

Pediatric burn injuries are a critical medical condition that triggers a series of ongoing multifactorial stressors that affect both children and their families. To inform healthcare research and clinical practice, this study aimed to understand and describe the perceptions and experiences of the parents of burn-injured children during hospital stay. Forty-six parents (thirty-eight mothers) of forty-six children (eighteen girls) with a mean age of 2.28 years (SD = 1.52) answered ten open-ended questions. This qualitative study was conducted in a referral hospital in the northern region of Portugal. Qualitative data were analyzed using an inductive content analysis. Five key themes emerged from the data analysis: diving into the crisis of the child burn injury, being together and in good hands, becoming aware of an uncertain future, enhancing supportive care and environment, and finding ways to guide parents. Qualitative findings underlined the pressing need for integrated care within this context. Parents were significantly burdened and distressed during the inpatient phase. These parents should be included in the integrated care plan starting from admission. Understanding and addressing parents’ healthcare needs and psychosocial adjustment difficulties is paramount to the development of future intervention programs and the delivery of suitable integrated healthcare.
