Burns in children represent a significant challenge in the global health domain. The research aims to analyze the profile of children in Romania affected by burns, focusing on demographic characteristics, severity of burns, applied treatment, and impact on parents. Through this analysis, we aim to better understand the factors involved in these cases and provide relevant information for improving the management and care of children with burns. This study aims to explore various aspects related to the healing of burn injuries in pediatric patients in Romania, analyzing data collected through a questionnaire administered to 107 parents. The profile of children in Romania affected by burns is primarily composed of relatively young children, with an average age of 8.7 years and an even distribution between genders. Most come from rural areas, and the degree of burns ranges from first to fourth degree, reflecting a wide range of severity of injuries. Treatment is diverse, with a tendency towards conservative approaches and a significant proportion of cases without complications. Parental satisfaction is not significantly influenced by the type of treatment, indicating a similar perception regardless of the mode of medical intervention. Improving the management and care of children with burns is achieved through adopting a multidisciplinary and integrative perspective. This involves the use of non-pharmacological therapies such as hypnosis and regional anesthesia for pain and anxiety control. Additionally, the inclusion of adjunctive therapies, such as the use of mesenchymal stromal cells and tilapia skin xenograft, contributes to improving the healing process.
