Burns, Review, Skin Cancer, Nursing Care, Diagnosis, Treatment, Patient Education, Wound ManagementAbstract
Background: Severe burns affecting more than 20% of the body can lead to systemic dysfunction and immunological suppression, increasing the risk of developing skin cancer. This backdrop underscores the critical role of nursing in preventing complications associated with burn injuries, including cancer development. Aim of Work: This research aims to examine the role of nursing care in the prevention and management of post-burn skin cancer, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to delivering optimal care for burn patients. Methods: An extensive literature review was conducted across multiple databases, including Magiran, Scientific Information Database, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The search utilized targeted keywords—"nursing," "skin cancer," and "burns"—in combination with Boolean operators, resulting in an initial pool of 580 articles. After a thorough screening process, 10 articles were identified as eligible for analysis. Results: The findings indicate that effective nursing care is essential in managing wound care, controlling infections, and alleviating pain while emphasizing the role of nurses in early detection and treatment of wound inflammation, crucial for cancer prevention. Nurses are responsible for educating patients about skin cancer prevention, emphasizing healthy lifestyle choices and providing psychological support.
