Abstract: Background Given the importance of investment in human and physical resources and knowledge in burn injuries for improving health service performance, this study endeavoured to identify resource production challenges in the burn care of Iran. Methods In this descriptive qualitative study, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 21 key informants. The purposive sampling method was applied to select interviewees, and data collection through interviews was continued to achieve data saturation. Using the framework of Adams et al. for health resource production, the directed content analysis approach was undertaken to analyse the qualitative data. Results Three main themes and seven sub‐themes were identified, and the main themes (sub‐themes) were human (the lack of motivation, job stressors and the lack of clinical staff), physical (capital resources and consumables) and intellectual (burn care education and staff training) resources. Conclusion In general, investment in different areas would help provide better burn services, including educating and empowering employees, motivating through identifying and defining their needs, and considering points for job stressors as work hardship, burnout and workplace harassment. Other areas of investment are increasing the recruitment of burn section personnel, providing burn specialized equipment and updating them, providing standard physical space, and supplying consumables such as medicines and dressings.
