Summary
Aim. The authors’ aim was to collect experiences and most recent knowledge in nursing of burned patients around skin transplantation and to compare them with former experiences and knowledge on the same hospital ward and also with the professional materials.
Material and methods. One of the authors spent some weeks in a County Teaching Hospital, in Western Hungary with the aim of collecting experiences about the recent nursing practice of burned patients before and after skin transplantation. We used documentation analysis, observation and evaluation of completed nursing tasks.
Results. The authors got a lot of information in connection with the local practical routine in the following themes: pain-killing after skin grafting, wound care after skin grafting, artificial feeding of the patients after skin transplantation, the indication and application of transfusion in the care of patients after burn, and other aspects of routine nursing care.
Conclusions. The authors found deficiencies in writing the nursing care plan. Our experiences prove that the quality of patients’ care is excellent but there are some deficiencies in recording the nursing care plan. In this hospital field the results of the medical and nursing activities among burned patients are excellent. The authors hope that this institute visit may improve the whole of the nursing education.
