“…These mothers felt guilty, and anxious, and needed to change the maternal role, which is related to the findings of Kashega et al research under the title of parents' experiences with children with burns. 15 According to the findings of Rashidinejad's research under the title of 'Psychological and social problems of patients with limb defects caused by burns', these patients have psychological, physical and social problems, including excessive family attention towards them, which is related to the findings of the current research and the mothers brought up the centralization of the child. In a study conducted by Lernevall et al to investigate the lived experiences of parents regarding their need for support when their child is hospitalized in a burn center, the results of the research revealed that being with the child is one of the needs of parents with a child with burns, which is in line with the findings of the research.…”

“…14 Anxiety (13-47% of cases), depression (23-61% of cases), and post-traumatic stress disorder (30% of cases) are the commonly identified psychological disorders. 15 Having several years of experience in caring for children with burns, the researchers have repeatedly witnessed the impact of child burns and the resulting organ defects on the behaviors, and interactions of parents, and how to care for children with burns. After passing through the acute stage of burns and their recovery, the main concern of parents is how to take care of their child after discharge and returning home, which is more visible in parents with organ defects combined with burns.…”

Objective: Burn itself is a highly painful phenomenon, but even well after the burn wounds have healed, the resultant disabilities in children continue to tax the patience and the ability to care of the mothers of handicapped children. The present study was conducted to explain and interpret mothers' experiences in caring for children with burn-induced disabilities with the interpretive phenomenological method. Methodology: The research population included the mothers of children with burn-induced disabilities selected through purposive sampling. Face-to-face unstructured interviews were conducted and recorded with an interview guide, and data saturation was achieved after interviewing six mothers. Data were analyzed based on Dickelman’s method. Results: The analysis of the data extracted from the interviews revealed that mothers’ lived experience of caring for children with burn-induced disabilities could generally be divided into five themes: 1) psycho-emotional breakdown, 2) trying to maintain increasing distress, 3) life continuation in the meaning of care and compensation, 4) raising the child in the care bed, and 5) attention and trying to reach the goal despite the disability. Conclusion: Mothers of children with burn-induced disabilities experience a wide range of emotions, concerns, and experiences. It's important to acknowledge and understand these feelings to ensure the well-being of both the mothers and their children.

Background: Burns in children are one of the most common injuries and often cause appearance changes, contractures, disturbances in the normal movements of joints, social isolation, and depression. Since mothers, as the main caregivers, have a unique and essential role in providing physical care and also improving psychosocial functioning, follow-up treatment, and taking care of the complications of burns in their children, the present study aims to investigate the educational needs of mothers of children with burns to prevent contracture. Methods: This descriptive-cross-sectional study was conducted in Motahhari Burn Center from January to September 2024. 150 mothers of burned children were selected through convenient sampling. The data collection tool included a demographic information questionnaire and a 40-item questionnaire to assess the educational needs of mothers. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 software. Results: Educational need in the cause and predisposing factors of contracture in the dimensions of not doing physical therapy (3.22), motivational and spiritual factors (3.02), not using anti-scar devices (3.22), and financial problems (3.06) were at an average level. Also, mothers' educational needs in the care and prevention field in the nutrition dimension (3.77) were at a medium level. In the dimensions of wound care (2.95), proper dressing (2.85), positioning of burned limbs (2.88), and physical therapy (2.64), the use of anti-scar devices (2.87), and mobility and activity (2.87) were at a high level. 44% of mothers in the contracture causes section, 47.4% in the burn care, and 62.6% in the prevention of contracture section had a severe educational need. No correlation was observed between demographic variables and the educational needs of mothers in the mentioned three sections (p ≥ 0.05). Conclusions: Mothers have a high educational need regarding the prevention of contracture in children with burns, and to provide proper care from mother to child, the educational needs of mothers must be met. Considering that no meaningful relationship was found between demographic information such as mother's and father's occupation and academic level, it can be concluded that education should be given the same for all parents regardless of academic level and occupation.

Background: A burn injury is a traumatic experience for the affected children and their parents. During the children’s burn injury treatment and hospitalization journey, parents experience many unmet needs. However, parents’ experiences and healthcare requirements during their children’s hospitalization have not been adequately addressed in the literature, especially in Jordan. Objective: A study is designed to gain in-depth knowledge of the parents’ experiences of children who require hospitalization for treatment of unintentional burn injuries. Method: A descriptive phenomenological approach will be applied. Purposive sampling will be used to select parents from one teaching hospital and one public hospital. The researcher intends to collect data from the parents throughout their hospital experience from their child’s admission until after the child is discharged. The investigation and data gathering will continue until data saturation is reached. Data will be collected in three ways: multiple face-to-face semi-structured interviews with parents, the researcher’s field notes, and the parents’ diaries. The description of the phenomena will be performed following Colaizzi’s analysis method. Result/Discussion: The findings of this study will be an original contribution to the current literature in enhancing the understanding of pediatric burn victims’ parents’ experiences and healthcare needs during their child’s hospitalization. It is believed that the findings will help improve the quality of healthcare services provided to the parents of pediatric burn victims. Conclusion: This study protocol is shared to promote research quality and transparency and to encourage interested researchers.
