Abstract
Background: Burn injuries have negative impacts on all dimensions of the quality of life of burn victims. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of burn survivors after a 6-month period of home care following hospital discharge.Method: This is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. Sixteen burn survivors from a university hospital in Kermanshah province participated in the study. Qualitative data were analyzed by Colaizzi's descriptive phenomenological approach.Results: "Rehabilitation in the process of life" was the main theme of the study with four sub-themes, including "conducting process", "caring bridge", "humanitarian commitment for human revival", and "healing care".Conclusions: Home care is necessary for burn survivors after discharge from the hospital. The connection of healthcare services between home and hospital, safety feeling in the patient and his/her family, cost-effectiveness of healthcare services, and encouraging the patient to perform self-care can be achieved by home care follow-ups.
