| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Burn injuries are a global problem that can significantly impact a patient's quality of life in the long term, leading to ongoing issues such as scarring, contractures, weakness, itching, pain, sleep disturbances, and psychosocial challenges. So, the study aimed to assess the effect of the nursing care bundle on burned patient outcomes during the transitional phase. Research design: A quasi-experimental (pre/post-test) research design was utilized. Setting: The research was conducted at the burn unit at Assiut University Hospitals and El-Eman General Hospital (affiliated with the Ministry of Health), Assiut Governorate, Egypt. Sample: A convenient sample of 70 adult patients who suffered from a recent burn with a percentage ≥ 10% Total Body Surface Area. Tools: Two tools were used for data collection: (tool I) a structured interview patient questionnaire and (tool II) a patient outcomes assessment sheet. Results: The mean age was (35.41) years, and males represented (52.9%) of studied patients. There was a highly statistically significant difference between pre-, post, and follow-up of the nursing care bundle implementation regarding the following items (pain, pruritus, and scars) with a (p < 0.001* ). Conclusion: Effectively implementing a developed care bundle content helps maintain satisfactory outcomes among the patients under study. Recommendations: It is recommended that burn patients be provided with a simplified booklet containing essential instructions including a nursing care bundle for post-discharge care to ensure a secure transition after leaving the hospital. | ||||
