| Summary, etc. | Abstract: <br/><br/>Background: Burn is an injury to the skin or other organic tissue primarily caused by heat or due to radiation, radioactivity, electricity, friction, and contact with chemicals or thermal. Until a few years ago all injuries were regarded as acts of chance. Today injuries including burn injuries are not regarded as just accidents, the term “injury” instead of “accidents” is used because the predictable and preventable, as the result of this shift in perception, burn injuries have demanded the attention of healthy policy decision-makers worldwide. On-fatal burn injuries are the leading cause of morbidity mostly occurring at home and at work places but all in all burns are preventable. <br/><br/>Method: In this study a cross sectional study design was used, where community-cantered approach was used in data collection from which, data were obtained through series of questions asked to the civilians aged from eighteen years old and above both females and males. <br/><br/>Results/Discussion: From this study it’s seen that knowledge deficits exists in burn first aid provision among the Nyamagana residents aged above eighteen years old were 77% of the participants had insufficient knowledge. Most people rely on the use of locally made remedies (where 33% believed on the use of honey, 17% chose honey, and 13.5% chose cooking oil) which are not helpful or may even complicate the problem. It’s also seen that there no proper passage of correct information concerning burn injuries from the authorities, authorized institutions to the society (where 40% got information from relatives and neighbors and only 8.5% got information from school) hence there is unlimited flow of incorrect information among the people. <br/><br/>Conclusion: There is a significant room for improvement and educational intervention which may be highly efficacious. <br/> |
