Background of the Study
Burn injuries can lead to complex wound care needs and pose significant challenges to healthcare providers. Burn patients require not only medical attention to prevent infection and promote healing but also psychological support to cope with the trauma. Nurses are pivotal in managing the care of burn patients, including wound cleaning, dressing changes, pain management, and preventing complications such as infections.
In Sokoto State, where burn injuries can be caused by environmental factors such as cooking accidents, the role of nurses in wound care management is especially important. This study aims to evaluate the impact of nurses' involvement in wound care management on the outcomes for burn patients in Sokoto State hospitals.
Statement of the Problem
Burn injuries can lead to severe complications if not managed properly. Nurses play a key role in preventing infection and promoting recovery through effective wound care management. However, challenges related to limited resources, training, and knowledge may hinder their ability to provide optimal care. This study will examine the impact of nurses’ involvement in wound care management for burn patients in Sokoto State hospitals.
