Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the long-term impact of burn care training programs on patient outcomes and healthcare quality in low-resource settings.
Methodology: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in the surgical units of two hospitals in Kosti, Sudan. Seventy registered nurses participated in a structured burn care training program covering first aid, burn assessment, pain management, infection control, and nutritional care. Nurses’ knowledge was assessed using validated self-administered questionnaires, while clinical practice was evaluated through direct observation checklists. Assessments were conducted before the intervention, immediately after training, and six months following the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis (ANOVA) to determine statistically significant changes over time, and the percentage of nurses achieving “good” knowledge and practice levels was calculated.
Results: The participants demonstrated “good” overall knowledge increased substantially from pre-training to follow-up, indicating durable learning outcomes. Practice scores also improved considerably, reflecting enhanced adherence to burn care protocols. These improvements suggest that structured educational interventions can directly impact nurses’ competency and patient care quality in resource-constrained environments.
Conclusion: Structured burn care training leads to lasting improvements in nurses’ knowledge and practice. Integrating such programs into routine nursing education can enhance healthcare quality and patient outcomes in low-resource settings.

Key words: Burns, training programs, knowledge and practice, healthcare quality.
