Efficacy of a burn prevention educational program to diminish the incidence of burn injuries in the pediatric population
Background
Pediatric burn injuries are a significant public health issue in low- and middle-income countries, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the No+Quema2 educational program, implemented in Aguascalientes, Mexico, in preventing burn injuries among children under nine years old.
Methods
The No+Quema2 program, initiated in 2014, included educational courses for children, training for health workers, and specialized care for children with burn sequelae. Epidemiological data on burn injuries from 2014 to 2022 were retrieved from the National System of Epidemiological Surveillance of the Health Ministry of Mexico. Monthly incidence rates per 100,000 inhabitants were analyzed using the Mann-Kendall trend test and segmentation analysis to detect trends and changes.
Results
The program trained over 25,000 scholars from 1750 elementary schools and distributed medical kits for immediate burn care. Additionally, 200 children with burn sequelae received scheduled treatment. The analysis showed a significant decrease in the state incidence rate of burn injuries compared to the national mean post-implementation. The estimated number of burn injuries prevented during the study period was approximately 3839, or 604 per year.
Conclusion
The No+Quema2 program has made a significant impact on burn prevention among children in Aguascalientes, Mexico. Despite the limitations of relying on government-reported data, the correlation between the program's activities and the observed decrease in burn injuries is promising. These findings underscore the critical importance of the No+Quema2 program's activities in achieving sustained, targeted educational interventions and long-term reductions in burn injury incidence. They also highlight the need for more robust study designs to validate these outcomes, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based strategies in future burn prevention efforts.
期刊介绍:
Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice.
Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
