“…According to respondents, their neighbourhood also do not provide proper facilities for burn handling, which is a common situation for low-middle income countries where the majority of citizens have low educational and low socio-economic background with the lack of proper infrastructures. 15,16 This is evident from the demographic data obtained from a study in RSCM stating that most burns occur due to flames with a higher percentage originating from hazardous, highly flammable and potentially explosive LPG 3 kg tanks. 3,6 This is similar to a result of a study by Ehmer-Al-Ibran et al, in Karachi, which is also an area in a low-middle income country, where the most common cause of burn injuries are related to the use of LPG tanks for cooking.…”

Burns causes a significant number of mortality and morbidity, especially in developing countries, such as Indonesia. The majority of burns in Indonesia are caused by LPG-related (liquefied petroleum gas) flame (33%). Since the first management of burn will influence its outcome, health promotion efforts to improve knowledge to prevent burns and to provide first aid for burn is considered important to reduce morbidity and mortality. This was a descriptive study conducted in a Sub-district in Indonesia using a one-day community health promotion event as the intervention period Oktober 2018. The aim of this study was to compare the knowledge level regarding burn prevention and first management before and after the health promotion event. Respondents were recruited purposively (n=61) and a pre-event questionnaire were distributed to be filled out. Demographic data showed that 31% of participants had experienced burns in the past; 100% of participants used 3kg LPG gas tank in their home; 98% of participants had never been taught on how to handle an emergency situation or how to arrange an evacuation route; and 100% of participants felt that their neighborhood did not provide facilities for burn management. A post-event questionnaire was then distributed and results were compared. A significant improvement of knowledge was seen with an increase of median score from 2.0 to 9.0 (p<0.001). In conclusion, despite the fact that all participants used 3 kg LPG gas tank, they do not have proper knowledge regarding prevention or management of burns and that a one-day health promotion event can increase this knowledge significantly. AbstrakLuka bakar merupakan sebuah masalah yang menyebabkan morbiditas dan mortalitas tinggi di negara berkembang, termasuk Indonesia. Mayoritas luka bakar (33%) diakibatkan oleh api dari ledakan tabung gas LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) 3 kg dan mayoritas rumah tangga menggunakannya. Pelaksanaan penyuluhan mengenai pencegahan dan penanganan awal diharapkan dapat menurunkan angka morbiditas dan mortalitas akibat luka bakar. Penelitian deskriptif ini bertujuan membandingkan tingkat pengetahuan tentang pencegahan luka bakar dan manajemen pertama sebelum dan setelah acara promosi kesehatan Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kelurahan/Desa Babakan Sari, Antapani, Bandung pada bulan Oktober 2018 untuk mengedukasi dan meningkatkan pengetahuan responden. Dari total 61 responden (45 wanita dan 16 pria) dengan mayoritas responden berusia di atas 60 tahun (45.9%), didapatkan 32.8% responden pernah mengalami luka bakar, 100% responden menggunakan gas LPG 3 kg, 98% peserta tidak pernah mendapatkan penyuluhan mengenai penanganan luka bakar, dan 100% peserta merasa tidak ada fasilitas penanganan kebakaran di wilayah mereka. Pengetahuan responden dinilai sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan penyuluhan dan didapatkan peningkatan secara signifikan dan bermakna (p<0.001). Simpulan, meskipun semua responden yang menggunakan tangki gas LPG 3 kg tidak memiliki pengetahuan yang memadai pencegahan atau pengelolaan luka bakar, penyuluhan ...

Burn injuries are among the most traumatic incidences which could be associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The incidence of these injuries differs based on population socioeconomic characteristics. In this study, we aim to evaluate the distribution of burn injuries based on socioeconomic and causative factors. Relative features from the targeted population were obtained and evaluated. Data were extracted in August 2019 and statistical analysis of the data was conducted from February 2020 to April 2020. This cross-sectional record-based study was conducted from 2008 to 2016 in a main referral center for burn injuries in the southern Iran. Participants included burn survivors and burn patients who were registered as outpatients or inpatients. A total of 4919 burn cases with a mean age of 31.91 ± 17.33, including 2926 (59.5%) males and 1993 (40.5%) females was reported. The majority of our cases had an educational level of under diploma (40.72%). A significant correlation between age, gender, and percentage of burn with the level of education was recorded (P < .001). The most frequent cause of burn injuries was flame with 2537 (51.9%) cases. The most susceptible population to burn injuries were reported to be poorly educated individuals, which emphasizes the preventive role of education.
