Brief Summary: Burn rehabilitation management is dependent on the patients themselves non-treatment adherence may delay the optimal timing of burn rehabilitation and it may not be regained easily The inevitable sequelae of increasing joint stiffness and tethered soft-tissue glide become more devastating over time It has a major impact on clinical outcomes such as scarring deformity and dysfunction which result in lower quality of life compared to general population

There is a growing body of research on patient-centered interventions including the concept of self-management Such phenomenon is consistent with burn patients needs at aftercare The proposed smartphone self-management program is to change the paradigm from paternalistic to collaborative relationship Self-management is to build up patient equipping ability in problem solving decision making and appropriate use of resources and has led to improved patient engagement adherence and better quality of care

The investigators hypothesize that upon intervention completion and compared with the control group burn patients in the intervention group will report

1 Higher level of health-related quality of life
2 Higher level of self-efficacy
3 Higher level of score in Burn Rehabilitation Knowledge
4 Lower pain level as measured by Numeric Pain Rating Scale and
5 Lower level of itchiness

The desired smart phone assisted self-management intervention will be carried out by principal investigator to selected adult burn patients before discharge and post discharge period Before discharge ward nurses will provide discharge pamphlet and individual face to face education to both groups as usual care After discharge instant messaging supportive enquiry service will be provided to both groups via smartphone apps

For intervention group principal investigator will assess subject health care needs prior to intervention Two extra sessions 20 minutes face to face individual self-management education with aid of computer track log sheet will be provided to intervention group Concept of motivational interviewing will be incorporated as complement teaching strategy to facilitate self-management learning Principal investigator will be responsible to deliver burn self-management education upon discharge Intervention group will receive Rehabilitation Booklet for Burn Patients upon discharge After discharge only intervention group subject receives two sessions 10 minutes telephone follow up calls and five personalized chat-based messaging follow up will be provided Besides that self-management education information will be delivered to intervention group via instant messaging service as well Ad-hoc instant messaging support will be provided to both groups if required
Detailed Description: Due to the advancement of medical treatment burn-related mortality has been reduced especially in developed countries Long-term undesirable impacts such as wound problems skin care exercise training scar management psychological and social problems have been detected in both major and non-major burns less than 20 total body surface area TBSA The focus of burn care is shifted not only acute care but also rehabilitation
