What this trial studies
This study evaluates the BreeZe intervention, a self-management support program designed for burn survivors to enhance their self-management skills and improve their quality of life. The program is adapted from an evidence-based intervention for transplant patients and utilizes techniques such as goal setting, Solution-Focused Brief-Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. By focusing on intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy, BreeZe aims to facilitate sustainable behavior changes in burn survivors. The study will assess the effectiveness of this intervention in real-world settings across multiple burn centers in the Netherlands.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who have been admitted to a burn center for more than 24 hours and are proficient in Dutch.
Not a fit: Patients with acute psychiatric illnesses, cognitive limitations, or those discharged to different healthcare institutions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve the quality of life and health outcomes for burn survivors.
How similar studies have performed: While the BreeZe intervention is adapted from a successful program for transplant patients, its specific application in burn care is novel and untested.
