Abstract
Burns are one of the major health problems in the world. Family-centered education can help families increase their patient care knowledge. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of family-centered education on the knowledge of caregivers of burn patients. Materials & Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed in 2019 on 96 burn patients of Besat Hospital of Hamadan using convenience sampling method. Data collection tools included a researcher-made demographic questionnaire and careers’ knowledge of caregivers. The control group (n = 48) completed the questionnaires at baseline and 1.5 months later. After completing the sampling from the control group, the family-centered patient care program for the intervention group (n = 48) was administered in four sessions and they completed the questionnaires before and one and a half months after the training. Data were analyzed by Chi-square, independent t-test and Paired t-test using SPSS 16 software. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between caregivers and patients (p> 0.05). Independent t-test showed that the mean score of caregiver knowledge (p = 0.13) and its domains (adaptation, diet, physical activity and physiotherapy, wound care, using equipment, starting sexual activity, re-referral) were not significantly different in the two groups at first (p> 0.05), but after education, the mean of caregiver knowledge and all domains. Except for the resumption of sexual activity in the intervention group, there was a significant increase compared to the control group (p <0.05). Conclusion: Patient care education for burn patients' caregivers leads to increased caregiver knowledge. Therefore, the importance of family-centered education should be given greater attention.
