Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and adolescents are disproportionately affected by burn injuries, yet often omitted from burns literature or inadequately portrayed under Western frameworks. We highlight and address the urgent need for knowledge about pediatric burns among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to be produced from within Indigenous research methodologies and in response to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ expressed needs. Through the use of decolonial ethnography, we applied a novel combination of participant observations, retrospective thinking aloud, and yarning methods to explore the psychosocial impact of pediatric burn injuries and care on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families. To our knowledge, this is the first example of these three methods being interwoven to explore a multifaceted health issue and in a way that privileges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' knowledge systems, voices, and experiences. We suggest that these approaches have strong relevance and potential for other complex issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民的儿童和青少年受烧伤的影响不成比例，但经常被烧伤文献遗漏或在西方框架下刻画得不够充分。我们着重指出并解决了迫切需要从土著研究方法中产生的土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民的小儿烧伤知识，以应对土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民的表达需求。通过使用非殖民地民族志，我们将参与者的观察，大声回顾性思考和细纱方法相结合，以探索小儿烧伤和护理对原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民家庭的社会心理影响。据我们所知，这是这三种方法相结合以探讨多方面健康问题的第一个示例，并且以使原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民人民的知识系统，声音和经验享有特权的方式进行。我们建议这些方法对于影响原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民的其他复杂问题具有重要的意义和潜力。
