The aim of this study was to investigate the status of nursing cares in the burning ward to improve the quality of nursing service following the education. Methods — An after-before intervention-educational audit study was conducted on burning ward nurses in Iran. The data were collected using a researcher-made checklist based on the Ministry of Health standards with “Yes/No” questions. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version.16 through descriptive statistics and Mc-Nemar nonparametric metric test. Results — The population consisted of 20 nurses working in the burning ward of the Sina Hospital in Tabriz/Iran. Presentation of nursing services was good in terms of the primary care (80.5%) and during hospitalization (83.4%); and it was weak in terms of the secondary care (42.5%). A significant improvement was observed following the educational intervention according to the results of the Mc-Nemar test performed before and after intervention (P<0.001). Conclusion — Audit education improved the nursing secondary cares and follow- up care after patients discharge. It is necessary to hold educational workshops for improving the nurses̓ performance in the other fields.
