Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to explore the characteristics of the studies that used the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to understand health and functioning after burns. Method: An exploratory research based upon a systematic review was conducted. A qualitative description of the studies regarding design, purpose, participants, and measures was provided. Descriptive data were provided to analyze the characteristics of the journals in which studies were published. The electronic search strategy identified 4032 papers, and 20 studies were included. Most studies were classified as conceptual (42%) or literature review (42%), and the purpose of most studies (84%) was to describe the instruments and outcomes using the ICF as a conceptual framework. Results: The population of interest was predominantly comprised of adults (42%), and the percentage of burned body ranged from 1 to 72%. Among all studies, 119 measurement instruments were cited. All studies were published in journals indexed in Pubmed, covering both medical and rehabilitation categories. Conclusion: Most studies solely provided a categorization of instruments according to the ICF domains. Great heterogeneity was observed regarding outcomes and population, and research is still focused on body structures and functions, instead of understanding how burns influence daily activities and participation.
