Development of a Pediatric Educational Tool: Helping Burns Heal…An Adventure for Kids With Burns

Conclusions: This resource has provided beneficial information with navigating the burn center, how it functions, and the expectations to both pediatric inpatients and outpatients as reported by their families. Having a similar educational resource for older pediatric patients, young adults, and adults would be equally as beneficial, perhaps developed on a beginner, intermediate, and advanced level. Applicability of Research to Practice: This educational tool answers many common questions about being a patient in the burn center. A resource specific for pediatric patients can be used to assist with understanding and coping of the injury and treatment during hospitalization and in the outpatient setting.
