Burn injuries remain a significant global public health problem, causing substantial morbidity, mortality,\u00a0and economic burden, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where nearly 90% of cases occur. Despite\u00a0the importance of timely and appropriate first aid in reducing complications, community responses to burn injuries\u00a0in many settings continue to rely on traditional or non-evidence-based practices.\nObjective. This qualitative phenomenological study explored community-based knowledge and responses related\u00a0to the causes and first aid of burn injuries.\nMethods. The study involved ten (10) purposively selected informants residing in South Mangga Dua Urban Village,\u00a0Central Jakarta, Indonesia. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews, direct observations, and\u00a0focus group discussions (FGDs). Thematic analysis was used.\nResults. Three (3) core domains were identified: (1) community perceptions of burn causes and classifications, (2)\u00a0indigenous first aid practices used in domestic settings, and (3) sources of knowledge and information pathways related to burn first aid. Participants commonly attributed burns\u00a0to incidents involving fire, hot liquids, and electrical\u00a0faults. Their understanding of burn severity was limited\u00a0to superficial assessments, with little awareness of\u00a0clinical classifications. First aid responses were largely\u00a0based on traditional practices such as the application\u00a0of toothpaste, honey, or aloe vera, while evidencebased\u00a0practices like using running water were rarely\u00a0mentioned. Notably, most participants relied on familial\u00a0teachings and informal community experiences as their\u00a0primary sources of knowledge, with limited exposure to\u00a0health professionals or verified media content.\nConclusion. Community knowledge is culturally rooted\u00a0but misaligned with medical standards, potentially\u00a0leading to unsafe practices. Culturally sensitive health\u00a0education integrating traditional beliefs and accurate\u00a0information is essential to improve outcomes in burn\u00a0injury management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.47895\/amp.vi0.12211","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]],"date-time":"2026-04-30T05:34:12Z","timestamp":1777527252000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Local Understandings and First Aid Responses to Burn Injuries: A Phenomenological Study in an Urban Indonesian Community"],"prefix":"10.47895","author":[{"given":"Hardin","family":"La Ramba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan RS Husada, Jakarta, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yarwin","family":"Yari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan RS Husada, Jakarta, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ulfa Nur","family":"Rohmah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine, Sriwijaya University, Palembang, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fitri Diana","family":"Astuti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Karya Persada Muna University, Muna, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fransiska Anita","family":"Ekawati Rahayu Sa\u2019pang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Stella Maris College of Health Sciences, Makassar, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Indra Gilang","family":"Pamungkas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Politeknik Negeri Subang, Subang, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristoforus","family":"Marselinus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan RS Husada, Jakarta, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"27557","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]]},"container-title":["Acta Medica Philippina"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/actamedicaphilippina.upm.edu.ph\/index.php\/acta\/article\/download\/12211\/7100","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/actamedicaphilippina.upm.edu.ph\/index.php\/acta\/article\/download\/12211\/7100","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]],"date-time":"2026-04-30T05:34:13Z","timestamp":1777527253000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/actamedicaphilippina.upm.edu.ph\/index.php\/acta\/article\/view\/12211"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.47895\/amp.vi0.12211","relation":{},"ISSN":["2094-9278","0001-6071"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2094-9278","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0001-6071","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]]}}}
