“…Muangman et al found that degree of social support may impact patient survival and that survivors (81%) were more likely than nonsurvivors to have social support. 21 The median and mean hospital stays were 14 and 22 days, which are longer than in other reports. The main reason is that most adult patients with severe industrial injuries stayed in the hospital for a relatively long period and had sound financial support.…”

The aim of the article was to describe the epidemiology of burn injuries requiring hospitalization at Shandong Provincial Hospital and to provide information necessary for the design and implementation of effective prevention programs. The records of patients with burn injury admitted to our burn unit over a 5-year period (1 January 2001 to 31 December 2005) were reviewed. Medical record review provided basic demographic information and details on the extent of injury, time of day burns occurred, month of admission, cause of burn, accident site, first aid, number of operations, length of hospital stay, and mortality. There was no trend in annual admissions. The male-to-female ratio was 3:1. The age distribution of burn patients showed peaks occurring at the age groups of 0 to 10 and 20 to 30 years. Over the course of a day, burn injuries occurred most frequently from 1700 to 1900 hours. Scalds accounted for 45.23% (502) of the 1110 patients, and flame burns accounted for 42.33% (471). Only 29% of all patients received proper first aid with cool water or burn cream. The average length of hospital stay was 22 days. Children under 10 years and adults between 20 and 30 years of age are the most susceptible populations, and first aid is performed poorly in Shandong Province. Burn prevention and first aid education campaigns should be launched to encourage safe lifestyle and work habits.

“…In addition, Muangman et al 14 reported that social support was a possible contributor to burn patients' in-hospital survival rates. In that study, 14 81% of patients who survived until discharge had some social support, compared with only 35% of nonsurvivors (P=.007).…”

ObjectivesTo improve communication, discharge readiness, and satisfaction of burn patients and their families.MethodsIn March 2009, the burn intensive care unit at University of Louisville Hospital, Louisville, Kentucky, incorporated family presence during dressing changes. Adverse family events during observation, measures of patient- and family-centered care according to a standardized patient satisfaction survey, infection rates, and staff members’ response to the intervention were tracked.ResultsThrough December 2011, no adverse family events occurred, patients’ satisfaction scores increased, and infection rates did not increase. Staff members responded positively to the project.ConclusionsAllowing family presence during dressing changes provides an opportunity to educate and include patients’ family members in care delivery.

“…The highest SRS-A score is 75 points, and the results are points and a higher score indicates higher perceived social support [16]. In a A. Matsuyama Open Journal of Nursing previous study that measured social support by the frequency of family visits, frequency of family visits was reported to be associated with mortality in patients with large burns [17]. In addition, a high level of social support from family members has been reported to improve the functional status and mental health conditions of patients with stroke [5].…”

“…In addition, a high level of social support from family members has been reported to improve the functional status and mental health conditions of patients with stroke [5]. Therefore, we used the frequency of family visits as a measure of social support in this research [17]. Stroke severity was assessed by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) [18] and the degree of motor paralysis was determined by the lower extremity Brunnstrom stage [19].…”

Gait disturbance due to motor paralysis affects activities of daily living and quality of life in patients with stroke. Thus, commencing walking training from the acute phase of recovery is essential. This study aimed to clarify the factors affecting the walking ability of hemiplegic stroke patients. Eighty hospitalized patients with a first chemic or hemorrhagic stroke within 1 year but not less than 1 month after stroke onset were included in this study. The dependent variable was walking ability (Functional Independence Measure [FIM] locomotion score), and the independent variables were spirituality (Spirituality Rating Scale-A [SRS-A]), amount of social support (Japanese version of the Abbreviated Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, frequency of family visit), stroke severity (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS]), degree of motor paralysis (lower extremity Brunnstrom stage), the lower limb loading force of the affected and unaffected side, and age. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were performed. Multiple regression analysis showed that FIM locomotion score was associated with NIHSS (standard partial regression coefficient = −0.362, P < 0.001), the unaffected lower limb loading force (standard partial regression coefficient = 0.264, P < 0.001), lower extremity Brunnstrom stage (standard partial regression coefficient = 0.352, P < 0.001), and SRS-A (standard partial regression coefficient = 0.184, P < 0.011). From our findings, walking ability was affected by stroke severity and the degree of paralysis, the unaffected lower limb loading force, and the spirituality level in patients with stroke. Promoting walking ability in patients with stroke includes training the unaffected lower limb and heightening spirituality. Training of the unaffected lower limb should be performed at the bedside or on the bed by the patient or a bedside nurse. To heighten spirituality, nurses who care for patients with stroke are encouraged to practice active listening and to show sympathy as part of emotional support and spiritual care.
