Abstract
A䅰stra۲t: Burn is a global health disaster with overwhelming pathophysiological effects. Optimum nutrition is key factor in
maintaining all healing phases. However, nutritional support post-burn is sophisticated matter therefore, it is important that
nurses assess caloric requirements to avoid malnutrition. Aim: to assess the relationship between nutritional status and wound
healing among patients with burn injury. Resear۲h questions: What is the nutritional status among patients with burn injury, What is the relation between nutritional status and wound healing among patients with burn injury. Methods: A descriptive
correlational study conducted over 10 months. 70 convenient patients included. Nutritional status assessed by 24hr. dietary
recall, anthropometric measurements, wound status by BWAT. Results: 62.9% were male, 61.4% married, 91.4% had severe
injury, 85.7% had second and third degrees, thermal injury 78.6%. Food intake in 1
st reading was below need 57.1%, 14.3%, 25.7%, 67.1% for protein, carb, fat, calories respectively. There was significant difference in wound status (t=8.617, p=0.000)
80% had wound of mild severity in 1
st reading, improved to minimal severity 45.7% in 3
rd reading. Regarding BWAT scores, at 3
rd reading, there was positive moderate relation with carbohydrate (r=0.38) P≤0.001, positive moderate relation with
calories (r=0.33) and positive moderate relation (r=0.34) with fat while negative weak relation in 1
st reading (r=-0.25). Con۲lusions: Inadequate nutrition might cause impaired healing as wound deteriorated when increasing carbohydrate and fat
over needed requirements. In addition, improvement in wound severity level was observed when increasing protein intake
