Abstract

A burn is a traumatic multisystem life‐changing event, and the long‐term care of the child or young person (CYP) who has been burned and their family can extend over several years. Effective nursing care following a burn injury is essential, as is the aftercare and ongoing treatment and prevention of scarring to promote the well‐being of the child. (Note: The term child or children, rather than CYP(s), will be used frequently in this chapter, as burns are more common in young children. However, burns can occur at any age, including in young adults, and particularly where there are learning or other disabilities.)
