Background and purpose: During wound care, burn patients feel considerable physical andpsychological discomfort. This study explored the effects of music therapy during dressing changeon pain and anxiety in burn patients.Materials and Methods: A quasiexperimental design was used; 20 burn patients wererandomly assigned to either the experimental or the control group (n=10 per group). Theexperimental group received music therapy during dressing change, but the control group receivedonly routine care. Vital signs and pain and anxiety perception scale scores were collected beforeand after dressing change. One-way analysis of variance, the t test, and nonparametric analysiswere used for data analysis.Results: Music therapy significantly reduced pain and anxiety scores by 2.43 (p<0.01) and15.1 (p<0.05) points, respectively; moreover, the experimental group demonstrated significantlyimproved pulse, respiratory, and pain relief outcomes than did the control group (p=0.02, 0.04,and 0.00, respectively).Conclusion: Music therapy during dressing change effectively relieved pain and anxiety inburn patients. This modality thus may promote the uniqueness and humanistic nursing care ofburn patients. |
