“…The study confirms the results of studies by some researchers (Заякова et al, 2014), (Каишева et al, 2018), (Jordan & Harrington, 1997), (Kohn, 2000), (Meschial & Oliveira, 2014) that the practical training of nurses in terms of medical care for burns is significantly insufficient. A self-assessment of the respondents found that 26.49% had some practical training for burn care, 20.56% were those who could not judge and those who said no were 17.18%.…”

Burn injuries cover a wide range of injuries to the health and lives of victims. They can cause severe general illness caused by local body damage, affecting all organs and systems. The provision of medical care to burn victims is subject to life-saving actions in all emergencies, regardless of the type of injury, must ensure that the victims maintain vital functions (breathing and circulation). The transportation time of the victim from the moment of the accident to the hospital is essential, as the place of treatment is determined by a number of factors. The aim of the study is to establish the competence of the nurses from the emergency rooms for professional behavior in emergency conditions of burn victims. The research used a documentary method, sociological and graphic methods. The sociological survey was conducted in the period 2018/2019 among 355 nurses working in the emergency departments in nine settlements within the country. Regarding the practical training of the respondents, it is found that 26.49% partly have skills in burns care, 20.56% are those who cannot judge or said no. 38.80% have some preparation for providing first/emergency medical care to victims, 20.20% of them cannot judge, 18.30% indicated negative answers. The timely, adequate and professional behavior of nurses in providing first aid is important for the outcome of the trauma. Increasing their professional training will allow to improve the knowledge and practical skills to perform on indications and in full emergency care in fires, or other causes.

“…7 From this perspective, the academic training of students must focus on the development of clinical reasoning, and on the skills needed to treat the burn victim, including content that emphasizes primary care. 8 However, studies in the literature show that nursing students present unsatisfactory knowledge and inadequate education regarding the initial treatment of burn patients. 8,9 Curriculum analysis of the nursing course in a metropolitan area of Brazil showed mainly need for adapt and structuring of theoretical and practical content of teaching in this area.…”

Objective: to describe the experience of Nursing students in the initial care for burned patients. Methods: a cross-sectional study was carried out with 107 Nursing students from four Higher Education Institutions. A modular structured questionnaire divided in three blocks was used. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics in the Epi Info® 6.04 software. Results: the majority (94.4%) of students reported that initial care for burned patients was addressed in undergraduate courses, but 81.6% considered the approach insufficient. Regarding the theory-practice relationship, 47.7% reported having participated in extracurricular theoretical activities, and 28.0% had performed practical activities of initial care for burned patients. All students considered it important to approach this theme during undergraduate training; 38.7% said this was extremely important, but 41.1% had little or no affinity with the subject. Conclusion: the experience in this theme, especially in practical activities, was considered insufficient by Nursing students, indicating the urgent need to rethink teaching practices.
