摘要
The planning of health education in the prevention of burn injuries is typically incomplete and not stated explicitly, while the evaluation is executed only partially or is altogether non-existent This article presents a theoretical framework for planning and evaluating health education for those at risk for burns. Systematic planning consists of an assessment of the magnitude and severity of the problem, an analysis of the behavioural risk factors, a study of the determinants of the most risky modes of behaviour, the design of an optimal intervention, and the implementation of this intervention. The evaluation phase deals with the effects on these five levels (implementation, intervention, determinants, behaviour and injury risk). Some common pitfalls are mentioned and special attention is given to the study of determinants of behaviour and to the design of the intervention. Furthermore, the importance of pretesting health education material is underlined. There appears to be a strong need for further research on the aetiology of burn injury and the relevant determinants of behaviour, before effective prevention can be realized. © 1990.
