N2  - OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of telenursing and face-to-face training on the quality of life of burn injured. <br><br>DESIGN: This clinical trial with pre-post design on three groups was conducted in Kermanshah (Iran) from 2017 to 2018. Convenience sampling was used. SETTING: a tertiary hospital at Kermanshah, west of Iran. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 90 burn patients with grade 2 and 3 after discharge from hospital were randomly assigned to three groups including telenursing (30), face-to-face training (30) and control (30). INTERVENTIONS: Each intervention group received one-on-one telephone training and face-to-face training in eight sessions (two sessions of 15 to 20 minutes per week). The control group received regular care. MAIN: Outcome Measures: Quality of life was evaluated by the Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief (BSHS-B). <br><br>RESULTS: The mean BSHS-B scores before and after intervention for telenursing, face-to-face and the control group were 71.43±21.92, 133.06±11.97; 64.83±26.16, 124.83±23.05; 58.63±20.89 and 73.13±33.04, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the three groups with respect to the training methods after intervention (P< 0.001). In addition, post-hoc test was not showed a significant difference between the telenursing and face-to-face groups (P=0.244). <br><br>CONCLUSION: Educational methods in the form of telenursing and face- to-face training were effective and promoted quality of life in burn survivors. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Both telenursing and face-to-face training can be used to improve the quality of life of burn survivors during rehabilitation phase.<br><br>Copyright © 2019.
