A Dissertation Submitted to Mzumbe University Dar Es Salaam Campus College In Fulfillment Of the Requirement for the Degree of Master of Business Administration of Mzumbe University 2013The main objective of this study was to explore nurses’ perceptions on factors influencing provision of care to pediatric burn patients among nurses at Mwananyamala Referral Hospital. Five in depth interviews were conducted in order to explore nurses’ perception on factors that may influence provision of nursing care to hospitalized pediatric burn patients. Simple observation method was used to complement data obtained through in-depth interviews. The study informants were sampled by using purposive sampling procedure. Data was analyzed by using content analysis approach. The study revealed that presence of team work, facilitated patients recovery through reviewed and discussed management of patients as a team. Availability of equipments helped nurses to perform nursing care smoothly. Furthermore, participants felt gratified and increased work performance when they saw patients who sustained very severe burn injury recovering and going back home. It was also revealed factors include limited resources, patient workload, and lack of standard skills. Participants described that there were limited human and non human resources, such as shortage of staffing which resulted into overworking, physical and emotional exhaustion among nurses, lack of water which is the mainstay of infection prevention control, lack of specimen equipment like pus swab. Since burn patient are at risk of infection therefore they need to take pus swab frequently. The finding of this study revealed that there are both positively and negatively factors that influence provision of burn care. Positive factor (motivation) needed to be maintained but action is required to be taken in order to reduce negative factors. It was recommended that health enlightenment is needed on prevention and initial intervention for burns in children. Community need to be aware that prevention of burn should be a priority since caring for burnt patient is very expensive. Further studies are needed in large population since this information is not conclusive to factors influence burn care in Tanzania.
