The Causes, Characteristics and Outcomes of Paediatric Farm Burns in Australia and New Zealand
Farm-related burns in children are distinct from burns in non-farm environments. Despite children being well-recognised participants in farm work, work-related burns were relatively uncommon, and the occurrence of burns during leisure may explain low rates of recommended first aid. These insights can inform burn prevention and first aid strategies targeted at farm communities.
