Protocol summary

Study aim
The Comparison between Occupational Therapy Interventions based on ICF Model vs Conventional Interventions on Participation and Satisfaction of Patients with Hand Burns in Occupational Areas
Design
Two arm parallel group randomised trial with blinded outcome assessor, on 30 patients. For randomization, blocks of 4 will be used on "randomization.com "website.
Settings and conduct
The samples will be selected from Shahid Motahari and Shohadaye Yaft Abad Hospital in Tehran, who will randomly receive the interventions after completing the informed consent form. The outcome assessor is blinded. The evaluation will be done in 3 time points: the beginning, after 8 weeks and follow-up 4 weeks later.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 2nd and 3rd degree burns with at least 0.5% TBSA and involve the palmar/dorsal of the hand, in the age range of 18 to 60 years, 1 week after skin graft surgery, cognitive level above 21 based on MMSE. Exclusion criteria: face and respiratory tracts burns, tendon injuries, fractures, infection in the surgery area
Intervention groups
The intervention group will receive occupational therapy interventions based on the ICF model and ICF coreset for people with burn injuries, which includes interventions in the most important areas of body structure and functions, participation in activities and changes in environmental factors, and interactive goal setting with clients. The control group will receive conventional occupational therapy interventions based on Dang Tang et al., including stretching, ROM exercises, improving sensation, increasing muscle strength and endurance, scar and edema management, and splinting. The treatment duration will be 8 weeks, 2 sessions per week and each session will be 45 minutes.
Main outcome variables
Occupational Performance; Satisfaction with occupational performance

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Occupational therapy interventions based on the ICF Model: Participants with hand burn injuries, who are included in the study according to the inclusion criteria, will receive occupational therapy interventions based on the ICF model and the comprehensive ICF-coreset for the rehabilitation of patients with burn injuries. In this type of interventions, the entire treatment process is applied interactively with clients according to the "rehabilitation cycle" described by the ICF. In the beginning of intervention process, ICF-based documentation forms and ICF-Categorical Profile are completed. Then, in the step of evaluating and setting treatment goals, ICF-Assessment Sheet and ICF-Intervention Table will be used and completed in the implementation of interventions and ICF-Evaluation Display in the evaluation step. By using the ICF-based documentation forms, through participation with clients and the therapist's clinical reasoning, it is determined which body structures and functions are impaired, what are the restrictions and limitations in the client's participation and activities, and finally, which environmental factors are seen as facilitating or restricting in the treatment of clients. Then, according to the clients' prioritization, occupational therapy interventions will be provided for 8 weeks and 2 sessions per week and each session will last 45 minutes.
