Background. Burnout is a common syndrome among healthcare providers which affects their quality of life and the healthcare service they provide. Physical therapists in burn units are at high risk to develop burnout due to several stressors. Objective. This study's main objective was to evaluate the extent of burnout experienced by physical therapists employed in burn units. Design. The present study employed a cross-sectional study. Methods. A total of 520 physical therapists, aged 24–44 years, working in burn units of Egyptian hospitals participated in our study. Burnout evaluation was conducted using the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS). Results. 520 physical therapists participated in the study, about 50% of them were aged between 30 and 40 years, and about 44.9% had a bachelor's degree. Females represented 63.3% of them. According to the results of the MBI-HSS assessment, it was found that 73.5% of the participants exhibited symptoms of burnout on the emotional exhaustion (EE) scale, while 44% displayed burnout on the depersonalization (DP) scale. Additionally, 51% of the participants reported low personal accomplishment (PA) on the scale measuring this construct. Results confirmed that men, more than women, experienced depersonalization, and they were less satisfied with their professional accomplishments. Conclusion. Physical therapists working in burn units who responded to the survey expressed severe burnout. To assess the impact of burnout on physical therapists working in burn units and to create strategies to lessen it, more study is needed.

The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of mirror therapy (MT) in improving the total active range of motion (AROM) of the affected finger, hand grip strength, and hand function in patients with flexor tendon repair (FTR) in zone II. The study was an open-label, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. Thirty patients with zone II FTR, aged 20-45 years, were recruited and randomized into two equal groups: the MT group and the sham MT group. The intervention began in the fourth week post-operation, consisting of thirty minutes of MT or sham MT, three sessions per week for four weeks, in addition to the traditional physical therapy (PT) program. The total AROM of the interphalangeal (IP) joints of the affected fingers, hand grip strength, and hand function were assessed. After four weeks of intervention, the percentage change in total AROM was 25.7% in the MT group and 19.93% in the sham MT group. Additionally, hand grip strength and Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) scores showed greater improvement in the MT group compared to the sham MT group (p < 0.05). Adding MT to the traditional PT program may be more effective than the traditional PT program alone in improving the AROM of the interphalangeal (IP) joints of the operated fingers, grip strength, and MHQ scores.
Physical therapy in burn care: Development of clinical prediction rules to determine the efficacy of low-level laser therapy

This study aimed to demonstrate the benefits of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on burn healing and to investigate whether patients' age, burn wound size, wound stage, and total burned surface area influence the burn wound healing response to LLLT. This was a quasi-experimental study with a single-group design that included eighty male and female patients with partial-thickness burn wounds recruited from burn units. The participants were placed in a single intervention group receiving LLLT. The duration of the intervention was six weeks, divided into 18 sessions (three sessions per week). The statistical analysis was conducted using version 25 of the SPSS statistical package for Windows. The results showed a statistically significant negative relationship between wound improvement from LLLT and age (p < 0.05) and between total body surface area (TBSA) and wound improvement (p < 0.05). Additionally, a statistically significant positive relationship was found between initial wound size and wound improvement (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant 3. Supplement 1. . relationship between wound improvement and wound stage (p > 0.05). The current study revealed that age, TBSA, and initial wound size can predict the efficacy of low-level laser treatment for burn wounds.
Physical therapy in burn wound healing: Development of clinical prediction rules to identify the efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic therapy

Many studies have demonstrated the effect of pulsed electromagnetic therapy (PEMT) on wound healing. This study aimed to develop a clinical prediction rule (CPR) to assess PEMT's efficacy in burn healing, potentially enhancing treatment decisions and outcomes. It was a one-group intervention study with 46 patients (21 males, 25 females) aged 20 to 55 years, having partialthickness burns in the first or second healing stage, and a total burned surface area (TBSA) over 15%. The intervention involved pulsed electromagnetic therapy (Fisioline, Italy) for up to six weeks, with 60-minute sessions at 12 Hz and 12 Gauss, three times per week. The statistical analysis was conducted using the SPSS. The study revealed a significant decline in wound surface area (WSA) post-intervention (p < 0.05). A significant negative relationship was found between wound improvement and both age and total body surface area (TBSA) (p < 0.05), while a significant positive relationship was observed between wound improvement and initial wound size (p < 0.05). No significant relationship was found between wound improvement and wound stage (p > 0.05). The 3. Supplement 1. Article 33. study concluded that pulsed electromagnetic therapy significantly reduces wound surface area. Additionally, age, TBSA, and initial burn wound size are important predictors of the therapy's efficacy in treating burn wounds.
