Physiotherapy intervention in burnt children: A construction based on the experience obtained during practice. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2016, vol.64, suppl.1, pp.39-45.

Introduction:
Pediatric burn is a public health problem in Latin America, no stranger to the work of the physiotherapist. However, after reviewing the state of the art on physiotherapy intervention in burnt children, little evidence of research production was found. Therefore, there is a need to establish guidelines to direct intervention in burnt children, which compile the experiences of physiotherapists dedicated to the care of these patients.
Objective:
To formulate a proposal for physiotherapy intervention in burnt children based on the experience obtained during practice.
Materials and Methods:
Qualitative, exploratory and phenomenological research held in three stages: first, identification of the state of the art; second, systematization of the experience of a professional group; and third, observational fieldwork at the Burn Unit of a tertiary care health institution in the country. In addition, semi-structured interviews, ethnographies and SPSS software for data collection and analysis results were used.
Results:
The state of the art, interviews with an expert group and ethnographies, product of collective observation, are presented. Taking these facts into account, guidelines for physiotherapy intervention of burnt children are proposed.
Conclusion:
Physiotherapy intervention guidelines for burnt children, based on the living memory of professionals, provide to physiotherapists with tools to question the criteria on which care is supported; likewise, they encourage the scientific and academic community to produce new research.
