Relationship Between Nutritional Status, Burn Degree, and Treatment with Burn Injury Healing Process in Patients at Mayo Hospital Lahore

Abstract

A burn is a form of injury or tissue damage that results from coming into touch with things that are extremely hot, such as fire, hot water, chemicals, electricity, radiation, or other inadequate substances. To investigate the impact of wound care, burn severity, and nutritional state on the healing process of burn patients at Mayo Hospitals in Lahore City. The study used a correlational methodology and was quantitative. Sixty individuals were chosen using a convenient sampling technique to participate in the study, representing patients with first, second, and third-degree burns (Grades II and III). Using Pearson's statistical processing, it was discovered that the p-value for the three variables—nutritional status, burn severity, and burn to heal—was less than 0.005. By using logistic regression analysis, it was discovered that nutritional status had the greatest influence on the burn healing process, with a r value of 0.739 and a p-value of 0.02, burn treatment had a r value of 0.81 and a p-value of 0.01, and the effect of burn degree on wound healing was found to be 0. 789. Additionally, this study discovered a strong relationship between burn severity, nutritional state, and burn therapy in connection to burn recovery. The process of wound healing and nutritional status were found to be linearly related. In addition to the degree of burn and SOP treatment having a positive impact on the wound healing process, patients with adequate nutritional state also have a good healing process.
