“…19 Prevention in developing countries is absolutely different from that of developed countries, where burn prevention has been integrated to their education and community systems. 12 However, it should be the goal of the developing countries for conducting continuous education on burn prevention as good knowledge will lead to good practice that will significantly reduce burnrelated disfigurement, disability, and death.…”

“…10 Similar results of improvements can be seen in other health promotion programs. 11,12 Health promotion is considered an important tool to counter socioeconomic problems and should be supported by simple, cost-effective, innovative, and culturally and geographically appropriate models. 13,14 Burn injuries should be considered preventable and public health approaches that provide interdisciplinary education and prevention programs can help to prevent them.…”

Burns causes a significant number of mortality and morbidity, especially in developing countries, such as Indonesia. The majority of burns in Indonesia are caused by LPG-related (liquefied petroleum gas) flame (33%). Since the first management of burn will influence its outcome, health promotion efforts to improve knowledge to prevent burns and to provide first aid for burn is considered important to reduce morbidity and mortality. This was a descriptive study conducted in a Sub-district in Indonesia using a one-day community health promotion event as the intervention period Oktober 2018. The aim of this study was to compare the knowledge level regarding burn prevention and first management before and after the health promotion event. Respondents were recruited purposively (n=61) and a pre-event questionnaire were distributed to be filled out. Demographic data showed that 31% of participants had experienced burns in the past; 100% of participants used 3kg LPG gas tank in their home; 98% of participants had never been taught on how to handle an emergency situation or how to arrange an evacuation route; and 100% of participants felt that their neighborhood did not provide facilities for burn management. A post-event questionnaire was then distributed and results were compared. A significant improvement of knowledge was seen with an increase of median score from 2.0 to 9.0 (p<0.001). In conclusion, despite the fact that all participants used 3 kg LPG gas tank, they do not have proper knowledge regarding prevention or management of burns and that a one-day health promotion event can increase this knowledge significantly. AbstrakLuka bakar merupakan sebuah masalah yang menyebabkan morbiditas dan mortalitas tinggi di negara berkembang, termasuk Indonesia. Mayoritas luka bakar (33%) diakibatkan oleh api dari ledakan tabung gas LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) 3 kg dan mayoritas rumah tangga menggunakannya. Pelaksanaan penyuluhan mengenai pencegahan dan penanganan awal diharapkan dapat menurunkan angka morbiditas dan mortalitas akibat luka bakar. Penelitian deskriptif ini bertujuan membandingkan tingkat pengetahuan tentang pencegahan luka bakar dan manajemen pertama sebelum dan setelah acara promosi kesehatan Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kelurahan/Desa Babakan Sari, Antapani, Bandung pada bulan Oktober 2018 untuk mengedukasi dan meningkatkan pengetahuan responden. Dari total 61 responden (45 wanita dan 16 pria) dengan mayoritas responden berusia di atas 60 tahun (45.9%), didapatkan 32.8% responden pernah mengalami luka bakar, 100% responden menggunakan gas LPG 3 kg, 98% peserta tidak pernah mendapatkan penyuluhan mengenai penanganan luka bakar, dan 100% peserta merasa tidak ada fasilitas penanganan kebakaran di wilayah mereka. Pengetahuan responden dinilai sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan penyuluhan dan didapatkan peningkatan secara signifikan dan bermakna (p<0.001). Simpulan, meskipun semua responden yang menggunakan tangki gas LPG 3 kg tidak memiliki pengetahuan yang memadai pencegahan atau pengelolaan luka bakar, penyuluhan ...

“…Several studies have suggested passive prevention approaches to HBS through cup design [55,89]; such as widebased slip-proof cups, lidded cups to reduce the amount of spill (like travel mugs), or cups that visually warn people of high temperatured content inside. [90][91][92] However, there are no studies in the literature that evaluate the efficacy of these designs. As noted above, passive approaches often require effort on the part of the individual, so to be successful, people need to have awareness and feel compelled to use these cup designs, which may be not be practical or acceptable.…”

“…Of the scald interventions that have been undertaken, few have been evaluated as effective. [45,85,92] However, this may be due to lack of adequate evaluation. [105] (shown in Figure 8), even though the ultimate outcome measure is to reduce the number of injuries (or death), this may take a long time to achieve.…”

Prevention of paediatric hot beverage scalds

Hot beverage scalds are a painful and, unfortunately, common burn injury in children accounting for 1 in 5 of all childhood burns treated. Despite the high incidence, physical suffering, potential psychological issues, and significant financial costs to the healthcare system, there is a paucity of research and initiatives aimed at preventing hot beverage scalds (HBS). The aim of this research is to provide a better understanding of HBS injuries and develop an intervention aimed at preventing them.The research was undertaken in four stages-each informing the subsequent stages-and culminating in a HBS prevention intervention strategy. In Stage 1, the magnitude of the injury was highlighted through a retrospective trend analysis which compared data on children presenting to a major paediatric burn centre in Brisbane, Australia, with historical data from the same burn centre 10 years earlier. Stage 2 investigated the potential risk and protective factors for HBS through a cross-sectional survey of parents/caregivers of young children with HBS delivered, via iPad prior to the child's burn dressing change. This survey provided detailed information about the circumstances surrounding the scald injury-before, during and immediately after.Evidence shows that applying optimal first aid treatment to a burn/scald (20-minutes of cool running water within 3 hours of the burn occurring) significantly improves wound outcomes; however, there is poor knowledge and use of correct burn first aid in the general population.Due to the high level of reporting of Internet use as a primary source of burn first aid information, identified in Stage 2, Stage 3 of this thesis comprises an analysis of burn first aid information available on the Internet. Combining findings from Stages 1-3, an innovative burn prevention intervention was developed: Cool Runnings. This two-group, parallel, single-blinded, randomised controlled trial (RCT) used a gamified, app-based intervention to improve knowledge among Queensland-based mothers of young children about childhood burn risks and burn first aid. This thesis presents the findings from these four studies. Stage 1 confirmed that the high proportion of HBS has not changed since 1999-2002; HBS still account for 20% of all childhood burns treated. The majority of HBS (75%) occur in children under 2 years old, often in the child's home, and are witnessed by an adult. Stage 2 showed the supervising adult was usually in close proximity to the child when the injury occurred (often within arm's reach) but were often distracted by food/drink preparation or attending to other family
