Problem: The scientific literature has been pointing out gaps in the knowledge of nurses on the care of burn victims. Aim: To determine the theoretical knowledge of nursing students on the initial care to burn victims in emergency units. Method: Cross-sectional study involving 107 nursing students from four higher education institutions in the Metropolitan Area of Maringá (PR), using a semi-structured questionnaire for data collection. Association was evaluated using the chi-square test, with significance level p ≤ 0.05. Results: Only 22.4% of the students had adequate knowledge. There was an association between satisfactory knowledge and belonging to a public institution (OR = 3.1, p = 0.01444), having performed nursing care in the initial treatment of burn victims (OR = 3.6, p = 0.006530), and having witnessed the initial care to burn victims (OR = 2.7, p = 0.03431). Conclusion: The lack of knowledge demonstrated by students reveals the need to rethink teaching strategies so that they promote improvements in the knowledge of these scholars.

Objective: to describe the experience of Nursing students in the initial care for burned patients. Methods: a cross-sectional study was carried out with 107 Nursing students from four Higher Education Institutions. A modular structured questionnaire divided in three blocks was used. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics in the Epi Info® 6.04 software. Results: the majority (94.4%) of students reported that initial care for burned patients was addressed in undergraduate courses, but 81.6% considered the approach insufficient. Regarding the theory-practice relationship, 47.7% reported having participated in extracurricular theoretical activities, and 28.0% had performed practical activities of initial care for burned patients. All students considered it important to approach this theme during undergraduate training; 38.7% said this was extremely important, but 41.1% had little or no affinity with the subject. Conclusion: the experience in this theme, especially in practical activities, was considered insufficient by Nursing students, indicating the urgent need to rethink teaching practices.
