Methodology: A descriptive analytical study was conducted on family member who applied home first aid for the treatment of thermal burns for adults. The study was conducted at burn treatment centers in (Medical City/ Baghdad Teaching Hospital; Al-Karama Teaching Hospital, Al-Kindi Teaching Hospital, and Al- Yarmouk Teaching Hospital). Starting from 4th Jun. 2015 up to the 28th Feb. 2015. To achieve the objectives of the study, a non-probability (purposive) sample of (100) family members of different kinship who reviewed burn treatment centers with their adult son for the treatment of thermal burns. Data were collected by interview with family member who treats their adults who suffer from thermal burns. Instrument validity was determined through content validity, by a panel of experts. Reliability of the instrument was determined through the use of Pearson correlation coefficient for the test-retest approach, which was (0.88). Analysis of data was performed through the application of descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, and mean of score) and inferential statistics (correlation coefficient and One-way analysis of variance). Results: The results of the study indicated the level mean of scores related to first-aid procedures relating to situations of thermal burns when applied by family member was moderate level on half items and high level on half other from items. Conclusion: The study concluded most of family member don’t have prior knowledge of the procedures used for ambulance cases of thermal burns. Recommendations: The study recommend the need to setting up educational sessions for families especially the parents about how to first aid thermal burns and guide booklets or information sheet should be printed and distributed to parents and other family member about thermal burns and first aid it , these booklets or information sheet should be written in a simple style and handed out freely.
