Abstract:
Objective To explore the application effects of transitional care on the prevention of scar hyperplasia after burn.Methods A total of 110 burn patients, who were treated in our hospital from February 2015 to February 2016, were divided into two groups according to the order of admission, 55 cases respectively. Patients in the control group were given regular discharge guidance and follow-up, while patients in the experimental group were given additional transitional care. The treatment compliance and the score of Vancouver Scale were compared between the two groups at six months after discharge.Results At six months post discharge, the proportions of patients who were prescribed medication, adhered to stress treatment, rehabilitation exercise, and on-time referral in the experimental group were 80.39%, 74.51%, 76.47% and 84.31% respectively, all of which were significantly higher than those in the control group (χ2=9.607, 7.985, 10.471, 11.411,P<0.05). At six months after discharge, the Vancouver scar scores were (6.03±1.98) in the experimental group and (7.56±2.03) in the control group, with statistically significant differences between the two groups (t=-3.815,P<0.05).Conclusions Transitional care can improve the treatment compliance of burn patients and reduce the degree of scar hyperplasia.
