Khảo sát kiến thức của người bệnh về vai trò của phục hồi chức năng trong điều trị bỏng tại Bệnh viện Bỏng Quốc gia Lê Hữu Trác

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation counseling on burn patients’ knowledge regarding functional rehabilitation after burns.
Subjects and methods: A quasi-experimental study with intervention was conducted on 154 inpatients treated at the National Burn Hospital Le Huu Trac from April 2024 to June 2025. The intervention materials were adapted from the internationally peer-reviewed study by Gete BC, Mitiku TD, Wudineh BA, and Endeshaw AS (2022), Knowledge, Attitude and Practice towards Burn First Aid and its Associated Factors among Caregivers attending burn units in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Annals of Medicine and Surgery, 81, 104402. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0.
Results: After the intervention, patients’ knowledge regarding burn rehabilitation significantly improved. The mean knowledge score increased from 3.9 ± 1.4 before intervention to 7.6 ± 1.2 after intervention (p < 0.001). Before counseling, the correct response rate ranged from 33.3% to 46.7%, indicating limited understanding among most participants. Following the intervention, the rate of correct answers increased markedly to 70.3% - 82.2%, demonstrating the clear effectiveness of the health education program.
Conclusion: Before counseling, burn patients’ knowledge about rehabilitation was limited; however, significant improvement was observed after the educational intervention.
