Severe and extensive burns and the consequent burn scars have a profound impact on various aspects of the patients', especially women's quality of life (QOL). Although burn is considered as a common phenomenon in Iran, few studies are conducted to investigate the QOL in women with burn scars. Thus, the present study aimed at investigating the quality of life of married women with severe burns.
The present study was a descriptive-analytic study conducted on 101 patients with severe burns who referred in 2016 to Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran, Iran. The Burn Specific Health Scale (BSHS) and a demographic questionnaire were used to collect and analyze the data.
Burns had a significant negative impact on the life quality of women with burns. The average score of quality of life in women was obtained as 51.47±10.44. The most difficult in the quality of life of the patients were in skin sensitivity to heat and treatment regimens and the least difficulty was in simple abilities and hand function.
The interventions to improve the quality of life is of high importance in the patients with burns. The findings of this study can help us in designing care plans for women with burns.
严重大面积烧伤及由此产生的烧伤瘢痕对患者尤其是女性的生活质量的各个方面都有深远影响。尽管烧伤在伊朗被视为一种常见现象,但很少有研究调查有烧伤瘢痕女性的生活质量。因此,本研究旨在调查重度烧伤已婚女性的生活质量。
本研究是一项描述性分析研究,对2016年转诊至伊朗德黑兰伊玛目霍梅尼医院的101例重度烧伤患者进行。使用烧伤特异性健康量表(BSHS)和一份人口统计学调查问卷来收集和分析数据。
烧伤对烧伤女性的生活质量有显著负面影响。女性生活质量的平均得分为51.47±10.44。患者生活质量方面最困难的是皮肤对热的敏感性和治疗方案,最不困难的是简单能力和手部功能。
改善生活质量的干预措施对烧伤患者非常重要。本研究结果有助于我们为烧伤女性设计护理计划。
