Aims and objectivesTo observe the effect of a rehabilitation intervention on the comprehensive health status of patients with hand burns.BackgroundMost studies of hand-burn patients have focused on functional recovery. There have been no studies involving a biological-psychological-social rehabilitation model of hand-burn patients.DesignA randomized controlled design was used.MethodsPatients with hand burns were recruited to the study, and sixty patients participated. Participants were separated into two groups: (1) The rehabilitation intervention model group (n = 30) completed the rehabilitation intervention model, which included the following measures: enhanced social support, intensive health education, comprehensive psychological intervention, and graded exercise. (2) The control group (n = 30) completed routine treatment. Intervention lasted 5 weeks. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Student's t test were conducted.ResultsThe rehabilitation intervention group had significantly better scores than the control group for comprehensive health, physical function, psychological function, social function, and general health. The differences between the index scores of the two groups were statistically significant.ConclusionsThe rehabilitation intervention improved the comprehensive health status of patients with hand burns and has favorable clinical application.Relevance to clinical practiceThe comprehensive rehabilitation intervention model used here provides scientific guidance for medical staff aiming to improve the integrated health status of hand-burn patients and accelerate their recovery.What does this paper contribute to the wider global clinical community?1.This paper will provide a scientific guidance for medical staff aiming to help hand-burn patients recover more rapidly.2.This paper will contribute to knowledge regarding the formation of a multidisciplinary team to promote the comprehensive rehabilitation of burn patients.
