Parental experiences, coping and the impact of Family Burn Camp after paediatric burn injury: A qualitative study.

Background: Paediatric burn injuries constitute a transformative event for parents, shaping their lives in profound ways. This study explores parental experiences, coping mechanisms, and the impact of Family Burn Camp in the aftermath of paediatric burn injuries.

Methods: A qualitative study was conducted in 2019 comprising two focus group interviews with 15 parents at the Family Burn Camp in Stavern, Norway.

Parents' lived experience of living with and caring for their burn-injured child in a home setting.

Purpose: When a burn injured child is discharged from hospital to its home, the responsibility for the after-care treatment is transferred to the parent(s). A knowledge gap exists concerning how parents experience caring for a burn-injured child at home after discharge. The aim is to gain an in-depth understanding of parents' lived experience of living with and caring for their burn-injured child in a home setting.

Parents' lived experiences of parental needs for support at a burn centre.

: A burn injury to a child is a traumatic event and the parent's emotional reactions and coping strategies affect the child's adaptive outcome. It is therefore important that parents get the right support. The aim was to explore parents' lived experiences of their need for support when having a child admitted to a burn centre.

Support needs of parents of hospitalised children with a burn injury: An integrative review.

Background: Good family functioning is important to improve outcomes for children who have sustained a burn injury. While knowledge regarding parental distress is increasing, less is known about parents' need for support during their child's hospitalisation.

Aim: To systematically synthesise existing research focussing on the support needs of parents of children hospitalised with a burn injury.
