Abstract:

Post-burn pruritus, a highly prevalent symptom during the burn wound rehabilitation process, is characterized by a high incidence and prolonged course, which seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients and is a clinical challenge that needs to be urgently addressed. The International Society for Burn Injuries guidelines clearly incorporate pruritus assessment into routine care, and selecting an appropriate assessment tool is the foundation for effective intervention. This article systematically reviews the application status, reliability and validity features, and adaptation limitations of 11 pruritus assessment tools in burn patients at home and abroad, as well as the current exploration and application status of digital technologies such as wearable devices and image recognition in pruritus assessment. The aim is to provide practical references for clinicians to scientifically select assessment tools, promote the development of localized tools, and facilitate the clinical translation of digital technologies.

Key words: Burns, Pruritus, Assessment tools
