The College of Nursing discussed today the higher diploma thesis entitled “Evidence-Based Nursing Practices for Modern Dressing Techniques for Burns Patients.” The study aimed to evaluate evidence-based nursing practices regarding the use of modern dressing techniques for burn patients. The study aimed to evaluate evidence-based nursing practices regarding the use of modern dressing techniques for burn patients, focusing on the effectiveness, types and advantages of advanced dressings, and seeking to provide practical recommendations to improve burn wound care in clinical settings.
The results of the study revealed that hydrogel dressings and antimicrobial foam dressings are highly effective in accelerating wound healing, relieving pain, and reducing infection rates, outperforming traditional methods. It also highlighted the role of negative vacuum therapy and fish skin grafts in the healing of deep burns.
The letter concluded that the successful application of these advanced techniques depends on strict adherence to “evidence-based nursing practices”. It recommended that modern techniques should be incorporated into formal burn care protocols, promote continuing education for nurses, and strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure comprehensive and effective patient management.
The study comes within the framework of supporting efforts to achieve the third goal of the Sustainable Development Goals (Good Health and Wellbeing) by improving the quality of care provided to burn patients, reducing complications, and ensuring a healthy life for all.
