This study aims to explore the potential of a scaffold composed of drug-chitosan-hydroxyapatite (HA) in improving tissue treatment. The focus of the investigation lies in analyzing the physical and biological properties of the scaffold and evaluating its mechanical characteristics through finite-element analysis. To synthesize microcapsules containing dextran-diclofenac sodium, the electrospraying method was employed. The drug-chitosan-HA scaffold with varying volume fractions (VF) of the synthesized microcapsules (10, 15, and 20) was fabricated using the freeze-drying technique. Microscopic and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were utilized to evaluate the morphology, shape, and size of the microcapsules, as well as the porosity of the scaffolds for wound healing purposes. The mechanical properties of the synthesized microcapsules were determined via a nanoindentation test, while the mechanical behavior of the fabricated scaffolds was assessed through compression testing. Additionally, a multiscale finite-element model was developed to predict the mechanical properties of tissue scaffolds containing pharmaceutical microcapsules. The findings indicate that the incorporation of drug-chitosan-hydroxyapatite into the tissue significantly enhances both mechanical and biological responses. The mechanical evaluations demonstrate that the drug-chitosan-hydroxyapatite tissue exhibits excellent resistance to pressure, making it a suitable protective covering for skin wounds. Moreover, biological evaluations reveal that an increase in scaffold porosity leads to higher swelling behavior. The scaffold containing 20 % pharmaceutical microcapsules demonstrated the greatest swelling and desirable antibacterial properties, thereby indicating its potential as an effective wound dressing. Furthermore, a multiscale finite-element model was developed to predict the mechanical properties of tissue containing pharmaceutical microcapsules. The results indicated that the average size of the microcapsules was in the range of 170 to 180 µm, and the porosity of the prepared tissue was between 52 % and 61 %. The experimental compressive properties revealed that an increase in the volume fraction of the embedded microcapsules led to an increase in the maximum compressive stress and compressive modulus of the scaffolds by up to 54.95 % and 53.18 %, respectively, for the scaffold containing 20 % VF of pharmaceutical microcapsules compared to the specimen containing 10 % VF. In conclusion, the developed scaffold has the potential to serve as an effective wound dressing, with the ability to provide structural support, facilitate controlled drug release, and promote wound healing.

Background

Burn scar maturation can take several years but is generally studied shortly after injury. Therefore, we investigated patient-reported scar quality up to 5–7 years post-burn.

Methods

Patients with ≤ 20 % total body surface area burned completed the Patient Scale of the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS 2.0) on the same scar at 3, > 18 months (median 28 months) and 5–7 years (median 63 months) post-burn.

Results

Fifty-eight patients (21 children; 37 adults) with a median total body surface area burned (TBSA) of 6.3 % participated. Average patient-reported scar quality (POSAS score) was generally worst at 3 months (median score: 4.2), best at 28 months (median score: 2.2) and intermediate at 63 months post-burn (median score: 3.4) (p < 0.001). Many patients (66 %) reported a median 1.8 point higher (worse) POSAS score at 63 months compared to 28 months post-burn, whereas 14 % reported an identical, and 21 % a lower (better) score. At any assessment, largest differences with normal skin were reported for scar colour. Univariate predictive factors of long-term patient-reported scar quality were scar quality at 3 months (p = 0.002) and 28 months post-burn (p < 0.001), full-thickness burn size (p = 0.033), length of hospital stay (p = 0.003), and number of surgeries (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

Two-thirds of patients with burns up to 20 % TBSA scored the quality of their scars worse at 63 months compared to 28 months post-burn. Whether this corresponds to increased dissatisfaction with scars in the long term should be further investigated. These new insights add to the body of knowledge on scar maturation and underscores the importance of discussing patients’ expectations.

This current study explored the relationship between challenge-hindrance stressors, coping style, and psychological resilience among rescue nurses caring for mass burn patients.

Methods

This study is multicenter and cross-sectional. Registered nurses who saved and cared for extensively burned patients at two tertiary hospitals in mainland China between January and August of 2023 were selected through purposeful sampling. Online surveys were used to gather data. Multiple linear regression and Pearson correlation were used to examine the link between challenge-hindrance stressors, coping style, and psychological resilience.

Results

121 nurses completed the online questionnaires. The mean score for psychological resilience was 63.80 ± 11.63, for the challenge-stressor 16.23 ± 4.38, and for hindrance-stressor 9.85 ± 3.89. The total score for positive coping style was 23.69 ± 7.73, and that for the negative coping style 11.45 ± 5.21. Pearson analysis showed total resilience score was positively correlated with challenge stressors (r = 0.697, p<0.05) and positive coping style (r = 0.616, p<0.05), and negatively correlated with the hindrance stressors (r = −0.512, p<0.05) and negative coping style (r = −0.589, p<0.05) among rescuer nurses. Multiple linear regression analyses identified that having attended rescues before, challenge-hindrance, and coping style are the potential influencing factors of resilience.

Conclusion

In mass burns accidents, rescuer nurses have a medium level of psychological resilience, which positively and significantly correlated with challenge stressors and positive coping style. It is suggested that more attention should be devoted to the target population to formulate effective intervention plans, reduce psychological impact, and improve their capacity for coping with disasters.

Severe burn injuries (SBIs) are known to pose a significant burden on patients, caregivers, and the healthcare system. Yet, scarce data on the short and long-term clinical and economic impacts of these injuries limit the development of evidence-informed strategies and policies to better care for these patients. To fill in this gap, we adapted a previously validated self-reported out-of-pocket cost measurement questionnaire, the Cost for Patients Questionnaire (CoPaQ), to the severe burn injury survivor context. We conducted one-on-one cognitive semi-structured interviews with burn injury survivors, their caregivers, and healthcare providers to identify elements of the CoPaQ’s structure and content that needed to be revised to adapt to the specific health care trajectory, service utilization, needs and expenses incurred by adult severe burn injury survivors and their caregivers. Summative content analysis was used to identify items needing to be modified, deleted, or added. Based on this information, a preliminary version of a Burn Injury Cost for Patients Questionnaire (BI-CoPaQ) was developed and subsequently pre-tested on a small sample of SBIs survivors. Further validation of this tool will be required before BI-CoPaQ can be used as the standard for the estimation of the financial burden of SBIs in this population.

Background

For nurses working in specialized units such as burn units, having adequate levels of job satisfaction and motivation is crucial for enhanced productivity in order to maintain quality nursing care.

Methods

A cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational design was used in the study. The study aimed to investigate the job satisfaction and motivation levels of nurses working in burn units, the relationship between job satisfaction and motivation levels, and the influencing factors. The study sample consisted of 73 nurse managers/clinicians who worked in burn services or intensive care units in September and December 2023. The data were collected with “Demographic and work characteristics form,” “Job Satisfaction Scale for Nurses (JSSN)”, “Nurse Job Motivation Scale (NJMS)”. Data were analyzed using Independent Samples T-test, One-Way ANOVA, and Mann-Whitney U tests to compare the descriptive characteristics of nurses and the scale scores. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to reveal the relationship between the descriptive characteristics and scale scores of the nurses.

Results

The mean age of the nurses was 30.26 ± 7.99 years, and 60.3 % were bachelor's degree graduates. The nurses had an average of 8.64 ± 8.25 years of experience in the profession and an average of 4.77 ± 5.39 years in the burn unit. The total score average for the NJMS was found to be 66.49 ± 5.56, and the JSSN score average was 3.46 ± 0.58. A weak negative relationship was found between the JSSN subscale "Suitable Support from Seniors" and age (p < 0.05), "Perceived importance at the job" and the working years in the burn unit (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

A positive correlation was observed between job satisfaction and job motivation of the nurses. If older nurses cannot get support from their supervisors, their satisfaction will be decreased. In addition, if more experienced nurses in the burn unit do not feel importance on the job, their satisfaction will be decreased.

Background

Infections are the most frequent complication and cause of mortality in burn patients. We describe the epidemiology and outcomes of infections among deployed U.S. military personnel with burns.

Methods

Military personnel who sustained a burn injury in Iraq or Afghanistan (2009–2014) and were admitted to the Burn Center at U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research at Brooke Army Medical Center were included in the analysis.

Results

The study population included 144 patients who were primarily young (median 24 years) males (99 %) with combat-related burns (62 %) sustained via a blast (57 %), resulting in a median total body surface area burned (TBSA) of 6 % (IQR 3–14 %). Twenty-six (18 %) patients developed infections, with pneumonia being the predominant initial infection (= 16), followed by skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTI, = 6), bloodstream infections (BSI, = 3), and intra-abdominal infections (IAI, = 1). Initial infections were diagnosed at a median of 4 days (IQR 3–5) post-injury for pneumonia, 7 days (IQR 4–12) for SSTIs, 7 days (IQR 6–7) for BSI, and 17 days for IAI. Patients with infections were more severely injured with greater TBSA (median 31 % vs 5 %), more inhalation injury (38 % vs 12 %), and longer time to definitive surgical management (median of 34 days vs 9) compared to those who did not develop infections (p < 0.001). Among patients with inhalation injury, a higher proportion developed pneumonia (42 %) compared to those without inhalation injury (5 %; p < 0.001). Five patients developed an invasive fungal infection. Gram-negative bacilli were most frequently recovered, with 32 % of Gram-negative isolates being multidrug-resistant. Four patients died, of whom all had ≥ 4 infections.

Conclusions

Military personnel with burn injuries who developed infections were more severely injured with greater TBSA and inhalation injury. Improved understanding of risk factors for burn-related infections in combat casualties is critical for effective management.

Objective

This paper investigates Burn First Aid Treatment (BFAT) provided to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in Australia at the scene of injury using data from a population-based cohort study.

Study Design

The participants were 208 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children aged < 16 years who sustained a burns injury between 2015–2018, and their carers. The primary outcome measure was gold standard BFAT, (defined as at least 20 min of cool, running water within 3 h of the injury); additional measures included type of first aid, length of first aid provided, and carer's knowledge of first aid.

Results

Of the 208 caregivers, 168 provided open-ended responses that indicated first aid was applied to their child; however, only 34 received gold standard BFAT at the scene of the injury, 110 did not receive correct BFAT, and 24 were unsure what first aid was applied.

Conclusion

This study highlights an important need for communities to have access to appropriate evidence-based and co-designed BFAT education and training.

Introduction

Scalds are the leading cause of burns in children younger than 5 years of age with most being related to food preparation and consumption. Hot substances causing scalds have different degrees of viscosity varying from low (liquid substances, such as water), to high (semi-solids or solids, such as oils or grease). It is still underknown whether heat substances with different viscosities are associated with varying risks of developing burn wound infections (BWI). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between heat sources of different viscosities and development of BWI within the first week after injury in children with scalds.

Method

Children 5 years and younger of age admitted at the Linköping Burn Center for new scalds between 2015 and 2020 were included. Data source for the study population was the Burn Unit Database. BWI was defined as fulfilment of at least two ABA criteria at the time of systemic antibiotic therapy (AB) initiation between day 2–7 following scald. Medical record review was undertaken to identify the heat source causing the scald, BWI criteria, and the use of AB. Legal guardians were contacted in cases in which information was missing. Logistic regression was used to analyse the association between heat source and development of BWI.

Result

The study population consisted of 271 children, median age was 1.5 years, 61 % were boys, median burn size was 3.5 % of the total body surface area (TBSA), 10 (4 %) had a full thickness burn. BWI were identified in 69 (26 %) of the children. Most scalds were caused by contact with hot liquids (n=184), followed by semisolids (n=52) and solids (n=35). The logistic regression model showed that the size of the burn (TBSA) was associated with BWI, while type of heating agent was not.

Conclusion

Our results indicate that the viscosity of the heat source does not affect the risk of wound infection in children with scalds; only the size of the area burned was an independent factor for BWI.
简介:烫伤是导致 5 岁以下儿童烧伤的主要原因,其中大部分与食物的准备和食用有关。导致烫伤的热物质具有不同的粘度,从低粘度(液态物质,如水)到高粘度(半固体或固体,如油或油脂)不等。不同粘度的热物质是否与发生烧伤创面感染(BWI)的不同风险有关,目前尚不清楚。本研究旨在调查不同粘度的热源与烫伤儿童受伤后一周内发生 BWI 的关联:研究对象包括林雪平烧伤中心在 2015 年至 2020 年期间收治的 5 岁及以下新发烫伤儿童。研究人群的数据来源于烧伤科数据库。烫伤后第 2-7 天开始接受全身抗生素治疗 (AB) 时至少符合两项 ABA 标准即为 BWI。对病历进行审查,以确定导致烫伤的热源、BWI 标准和 AB 的使用情况。如果信息缺失,则会联系法定监护人。采用逻辑回归分析热源与 BWI 发生之间的关联:研究对象包括 271 名儿童,年龄中位数为 1.5 岁,61% 为男孩,烧伤面积中位数为体表总面积的 3.5%,10 人(4%)为全厚烧伤。69名儿童(26%)被确认为BWI。大多数烫伤是由接触热液体引起的(184 人),其次是半固体(52 人)和固体(35 人)。逻辑回归模型显示,烧伤面积(TBSA)与BWI有关,而加热剂类型与BWI无关:我们的研究结果表明,热源的粘度不会影响烫伤儿童伤口感染的风险;只有烫伤面积的大小才是导致 BWI 的独立因素。
