Optimal management of burns begins with first aid from the first hours of injury. Adequate knowledge of how to perform first aid for burns can reduce the consequences of injury. Therefore, this study aims to determine the knowledge, attitude, and sources of information assessment towards burn First aid among people referred to a burn centre in the north of Iran. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted to assess knowledge, attitude, and sources of information towards burn first aid among people referred to a burn centre in the north of Iran in 2023. In this survey, a convenience sampling method was adopted. The variables consisted of four items on socio-demographic information, 15 items on knowledge, ten items on attitude, and one item on sources of information related to burn First aid. A total of 371 individuals responded to the survey. The mean age of participants was 31.90 ± 8.49 years old. The mean score of the total knowledge of the participants in the research was 6.04 ± 3.05. There was a statistically significant relationship between the variables of age, sex, marital status, place of residence, level of education, and history of receiving first aid training with the participants' knowledge level. The average score of the total attitude of the participants was 44.08 ± 3.88. Out of 371 participants, 214 people (57.7%) had an average attitude, and 157 people (42.3%) had a good attitude towards burn first aid. There was a statistically significant relationship between place of residence, level of education, and history of receiving first aid training with the participants' attitudes in the research. In addition, the level of knowledge had a statistically significant relationship with the participants' attitude level in the research (p-value <0.001). The majority of participants have limited knowledge of burn first aid. This lack of knowledge could lead to severe consequences. Therefore, healthcare organizations should review and promote consistent guidelines for burn first aid to tackle and minimize the effect of this grave injury.
烧伤的最佳管理始于受伤后最初几个小时的急救。掌握如何进行烧伤急救的充分知识可以减轻损伤后果。因此，本研究旨在确定伊朗北部一家烧伤中心的就诊人群对烧伤急救的知识、态度以及信息来源评估情况。2023年，我们对伊朗北部一家烧伤中心的就诊人群进行了一项基于问卷的调查，以评估他们对烧伤急救的知识、态度和信息来源。在这项调查中，采用了便利抽样方法。变量包括四项社会人口学信息、十五项知识、十项态度以及一项与烧伤急救相关的信息来源。共有371人回复了调查。参与者的平均年龄为31.90 ± 8.49岁。研究中参与者的总知识平均得分为6.04 ± 3.05。年龄、性别、婚姻状况、居住地点、教育程度和接受急救培训历史等变量与参与者的知识水平之间存在统计学上的显著关系。参与者的总态度平均得分为44.08 ± 3.88。在371名参与者中，214人（57.7%）态度一般，157人（42.3%）对烧伤急救态度良好。在研究中，居住地点、教育程度和接受急救培训历史与参与者的态度之间存在统计学上的显著关系。此外，知识水平与研究中参与者的态度水平存在统计学上的显著关系（p值<0.001）。大多数参与者对烧伤急救的知识有限。这种知识匮乏可能导致严重后果。因此，医疗机构应审查并推广一致的烧伤急救指南，以应对并尽量减少这种严重损伤的影响。
