Abstract: Objective: To examine the effect of a communication table for the limbs and head burned patients.Methods: We designed a communication table for burn patients with limbs and head injuries. The table contained the vital signs, physical needs, comfort degree, household chores and personal willingness. The table could be used by nurses to understand the patients' needs, to make decisions on the patients' priority of care and to apply nursing interventions by assessing their health condition, vital signs changes as well as the information such as patient's age, education level, and economic status, etc. The treatment group was given the communication table, while the control group was received the conventional communication method. Results: Compared with the control group, the satisfaction of the treatment group increased (93.0% vs 62.9%), and the average communication time decreased [ (4.23±1.94) min vs (11.52±2.43) min ] (P<0.01).Conclusion: The communication table could be a specific management tool to take care of burn patients. The table appears to be useful in enhancing communication efficiency, obtaining accurate information and meeting needs of patients.Thereby, the table helps nurses in observing health condition and nursing problems and this could lead to better quality of nursing care and medical safety.
