Abstract

Burn injuries are one of the most underrated injuries with high morbidity and fatality rates. Burn injuries, particularly severe burns, cause an immune and inflammatory response, as well as metabolic anomalies and distributive shock, They can all be challenging to control and result in multiple organ failure. It is crucial to understand that burn injuries affect people’s standard of living and mental health in addition to their general wellbeing. [1] A 100-person rural community study was done using a quantitative, descriptive research design. A non-probability convenient sampling strategy was used to select 100 persons from a remote community. Age, gender, educational status, employment status, income, marital status, domicile, family type, and other demographic characteristics were obtained using a Demographic variables sheet. After expert content validation, the data was collected using a knowledge questionnaire and a perception scale on burn injury management. The results of descriptive statistics were used to analyse and interpret the data. The majority of participants had bad knowledge, 30% had average knowledge, and only 7% had strong knowledge about burn injury management, while 89 percent of participants had average perception and only 11 percent had good perception about burn injury management, according to the results. The age of community members was found to have a statistically significant relationship at the 0.05 level with knowledge regarding management of burn injury (Jeschke MG, 2020).[2]
