To assess caregivers'knowledge of first aid for small-area thermal burns in children, and reduce burns-induced morbidity and damage in children.
The multi-stage cluster random sampling method was used to recruit school-age children from different kinds of schools. For each child, we selected only one caregiver as our study participant. First-aid knowledge regarding small area burns in children and choices of medical treatment were investigated in the manner of questionnaires.
The effective response rate of questionnaire was 99.4% (5814/5850). Folk remedies and daily necessities were chosen by 17.8% (1,036/5814) and 48.9% (2841/5814), respectively. 39.8% (2,312/5814) of caregivers knew all standard burn first aid measures. Moreover, the proportion of knowing all five measures among caregivers with undergraduate education was significantly higher than the figures among those with other educational levels.
Child caregivers had poor knowledge of first aid for small area burns in children. Only a few caregivers knew all five standard first aid measures for managing small area burns. Many non-scientific and inappropriate home remedies are still widely applied among Shanghai citizens. Our study results suggest relevant scientific evidence-informed measures should be more widely disseminated to the citizens.
为了评估照顾者对儿童小面积热烧伤急救知识的掌握程度，从而降低儿童烧伤发病率和损伤程度。
采用多阶段整群随机抽样的方法，招募来自不同类型学校的学龄儿童。对每个儿童，我们仅选择一名照顾者作为我们的研究对象。通过问卷调查的方式，调查儿童小面积烧伤急救知识和治疗选择。
问卷的有效应答率为 99.4%（5814/5850）。17.8%（1,036/5814）和 48.9%（2841/5814）的照顾者分别选择了民间疗法和日常用品。39.8%（2,312/5814）的照顾者了解所有标准烧伤急救措施。此外，本科及以上教育程度的照顾者中，知晓所有五项措施的比例明显高于其他教育程度的照顾者。
儿童照顾者对儿童小面积烧伤急救知识掌握较差。只有少数照顾者了解处理小面积烧伤的所有五项标准急救措施。许多非科学和不适当的家庭疗法仍在上海市民中广泛应用。我们的研究结果表明，应向市民更广泛地传播相关基于科学证据的措施。
