Thermic injuries in adults
BĚTÁKOVÁ, Pavlína
Burns is a type of injury which is lawfully regarded as one of the heaviest injuries in the area of human traumatology. This kind of thermic injury has already damaged many human lives and left many psychical and physical consequences. Injuries of this kind require the most complicated, longest and thus the most expensive treatment. Some burned clients are deformed by scars for life and gradually start to realize their social limitation. Crucial part in these cases is played by good family background and simultaneously sensitive attitude of society, which has a significant influence on the patient life quality. As a consequence of this injury most people tend to insulate from society and simultaneously change his or her value system and life style. From the psychic point of view the most serious are the cases where on the basis of thermic effect affection and deformity of face occurred. . The people affected like this are frustrated by views of strange people who are determined to have two types of feelings-antipathy or sympathy. The aim of my thesis was to map the level of burned people knowledge of prevention measures and laic first aid during thermic injuries. Research group was created by the clients of The Burn Medicine Clinic at Královské Vinohrady, who were hospitalized or treated as outpatients in consequence of thermic injury from 1 August to 31 October 2007. The collection of data was carried out by means of anonymous questionnaire. With the view of this I asked the personnel of the clinic for cooperation; the personnel took willingly charge of the mediator and continued to distribute the questionnaires to clients older than eighteen years, who were affected by thermic injury. The clients filled in 95 questionnaires of the total number of 150 (63.34%); filled in questionnaires were used for the processing of experimental part of my thesis. The final part of this thesis will be the processing of an information leaflet proposal concerning the primary prevention and administration of laic first aid at thermic injuries; this leaflet may be applied in terms of certain prevention programmes or in the area of further research.
