“…Studies supported the provision of education to the person with burn injury, their workplace and family and friends using a flexible, personalised and accessible information tool (Lamble et al, 2019;Nguyen et al, 2016). Education about the roles of various health professionals helped people with burn injury to better direct their RTW queries (Lamble et al, 2019).…”

Qualitative studies contain in-depth information about facilitators and barriers to successful rehabilitation. This systematic review synthesised findings across qualitative studies to inform vocational rehabilitation practices for people who have experienced burn injury. PRISMA guidelines were used to determine inclusion criteria for the review and develop a comprehensive search strategy. Four databases were searched and results screened. Included studies investigated experiences of return to work (RTW) or meaningful activity in a burn injury population. Quality of included articles was examined using the CASP framework for qualitative research. Thematic synthesis was used to analyse the qualitative results. Six studies met inclusion criteria. Five analytic themes were identified regarding experiences of vocational support and ability to RTW after burn injury: addressing the complex impact of burn injury; personal connections as vital support; skilled and specialised healthcare as central to RTW; value of knowledge; and considering the work environment. No included studies investigated meaningful activity other than paid work. Findings support structured vocational rehabilitation, psychological interventions, social support, intensive rehabilitation and patient, clinician and workplace education as key in facilitating RTW after burn injury. Additionally, coordinated care is likely to improve vocational outcomes. Research is needed on supporting return to meaningful activity.

“…Characteristics, strengths and limitations of the included studies are detailed in Table 2. Included studies involved participants recruited from specialist burns centres or outpatient rehabilitation sites in Canada, Sweden and Australia (Johnson et al, 2016;Mansfield et al, 2014;Nguyen et al, 2016;Stergiou-Kita et al, 2014). Very specific patient populations limited the transferability of results to the wider burns population.…”

“…A common strength among studies was relevant quotation usage to verify results. The six qualitative studies reported on 141 participants, with sample sizes ranging from 13 to 39 (Johnson et al, 2016;Lamble et al, 2019;Mansfield et al, 2014;Nguyen et al, 2016;Öster et al, 2010;Stergiou-Kita et al, 2014). All studies included adults between the ages of 20 and 59 years and the majority (80%) of participants were male.…”

“…The mean percentage total burn surface area (TBSA) of burn injuries was recorded by Johnson and colleagues (2016), Lamble and colleagues (2019), and Öster and colleagues (2010) and ranged from 14.3% to 29%. Five studies reported time since injury, which ranged from two months to over 10 years (Lamble et al, 2019;Mansfield et al, 2014;Nguyen et al, 2016;Öster et al, 2010;Stergiou-Kita et al, 2014). These studies also reported the percentage of participants who returned to work as ranging from 65% to 85%.…”

“…All six studies were considered high quality and were included (Public Health Resource Unit, 2002). In Section A, five studies scored 'Yes' for five of the six questions corresponding to high validity of results (Johnson et al, 2016;Lamble et al, 2019;Mansfield et al, 2014;Nguyen et al, 2016;. The only weakness was lack of consideration of the researcher-participant relationship.…”

Physiotherapists' and general practitioners' (GPs) treatment knowledge affects the management of people with knee osteoarthritis (OA), but little is known about the OA referral decisions and treatment knowledge of these clinicians in New Zealand. Data were collected from New Zealand registered physiotherapists and GPs (n = 272) using an online vignette-based questionnaire. Approximately two-thirds (63%, n = 172) of participants stated they would likely refer the hypothetical patient with knee OA to another profession. Participants indicated they would refer the woman between the two professions (73%, n = 57 GPs would refer to a physiotherapist; 47%, n = 92 physiotherapists would refer to a GP). However, few participants indicated they would refer the woman to other health professionals (such as 19%, n = 52 would refer to a dietitian). The majority of participants reported they would recommend education (98%, n = 267), therapeutic exercises (92%, n = 251) and weight-loss advice (87%, n = 237) as treatments for knee OA. These results indicate that first-line knee OA treatment knowledge of New Zealand GPs and physiotherapists are generally in keeping within international guidelines. However, promoting interprofessional collaboration with other health professions, such as dietetics, and providing education regarding treatments not recommended for OA is needed to meet all first-line treatment recommendations.
