“…A cross‐sectional study was conducted among the Rawalpindi population to assess the general knowledge and practices around burns, and it showed that 47.5% of participants used toothpaste as first aid for burns 39 . Similarly, studies in the WB, Saudi Arabia, India, Bangladesh, and Iran 5,38,44‐47 also reported toothpaste as a traditional first aid treatment option. Applying alternative substances to burns can be harmful; the risks associated with using such substances should be incorporated into burn health education campaigns to help improve treatment outcomes.…”

The aim of this study was to identify the epidemiology, aetiology as well as the knowledge, attitudes, and practices relating to burn injuries in Palestine. A mixed‐method approach was used. A survey was distributed to a total of 1500 households selected by randomised approach. The survey was standardised based on World Health Organisation's guidelines for conducting community surveys on injury. Additionally, there were 12 focus group discussions and 10 key informant interviews to collect rich qualitative data. In the West Bank and Gaza, 1.5% of Palestinians had experienced serious burn injuries in the 12 months. The total sample of 1500 yields a margin of error (plus/minus) = 2.5% at a 95% level of confidence and a response distribution ( P = 50%) with 3% non‐response rate. Of the 1500 households approached, 184 reported a total of 196 burn injuries, with 87.2% occurring inside the home: 69.4% were females and 39.3% were children. The main source of reported cause of burn was heat and flame (36%), electric current (31.6%), hot liquid (28.6%), and chemicals (2.7%). The most common first aid for burns was pouring water (74.7%). People in rural, refugee, and Bedouin settings had the highest incidence of burns. This study provides the burn prevalence rate, explanatory factors that contribute to the frequency of burns in Palestine. Making burn prevention a higher priority within the national policy is crucial.

This systematic review aimed to examine the caregivers' knowledge with burned children and related factors towards burn first aid. A comprehensive, systematic search was performed in different international electronic databases, such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Persian electronic databases such as Iranmedex, and Scientific Information Database using keywords extracted from Medical Subject Headings such as “Knowledge”, “First aid”, “Caregiver”, “Burn”, and “Child” from the earliest to the December 1, 2022. The quality of the studies included in this systematic review was evaluated by using the appraisal tool for cross‐sectional studies (AXIS tool). A total of 11 763 caregivers of children with burns were enrolled in 14 studies. Of the participants, 78.81% were female and 41.15% had a university education. The mean score of caregivers' knowledge with burned children towards burn first aid was 51.44 out of 100. The knowledge of caregivers of burned children towards burn first aid had a significant positive relationship with the level of education, first aid training, age of caregivers, history of burn, number of children, monthly income, social status, and attitude. In addition, caregivers' knowledge had a significant negative relationship with the number of children. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between caregivers' knowledge and level of education, monthly income, smoking, and previous knowledge of first aid. The level of caregivers' knowledge with burned children towards burn first aid was moderate. Therefore, health managers and policymakers can improve the knowledge of caregivers of burned children towards burn first aid by creating suitable platforms for face‐to‐face training as well as online training using websites.

“…Injury from burns is a critical issue in the current world which comes with significant consequences to the community. It is considered at the top of the list among the leading causes of death and morbidity globally (Mortada et al, 2020). Annually, approximately one million individuals are directly affected by burns injuries globally.…”

Background: Burn is a breakdown of skin continuity which is considered a major problem worldwide. The best approach to manage burns is to start with first aid. Numerous studies conducted in several regions revealed a widespread lack of understanding about first aid for burns. To assess the general knowledge and practices related to burn first aid treatment among the population in Saudi Arabia. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with a representative random sample of 449 Saudi residents in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia using a self-administered questionnaire that was distributed through social media sites. For data analysis, we used Statistical Package of Social Science Software (SPSS) version 24. Results: Out of 449 participants that met our inclusion criteria, most study participants were females, 371 (82.6%) and 203 (45.2%) aged between 18-29 years old. Also 239 (53.2%) didn't believe that cold water could be poured if hot oil spills on the hands and only 95 (21.1%) agreed that all burn injuries must be treated in the hospital. Conclusion:The results of the research suggest that the general community of Saudi Arabia has a significant lack of awareness about burn wound treatment. This survey also showed a number of gaps in awareness and practices that will need to be corrected in the near future. Various media platforms should be used to create public programs aimed at increasing community knowledge.
