Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the influence of handshake and consolation combined with breathing direction on the pain during dressing changes for the burn patients.Methods 64 patients were randomly divided into the experimental groups and the control groups according to their time of hospitalization,with 32 cases in each group.Patients in the experimental group were given the handshake and consolation combined with breathing direction during the dressing changes,while the control group was given routine care.Two groups used the same dressing method by the same physician,and cared by the same nurse before and after dressing.Pain scores (visual analogue scale VAS) were compared between the two groups before and after dressing changes.Results Before dressing,the pain scores of patients in the two groups were respectively (3.79 ± 2.27) and (3.85 ± 2.46),and there was no significant difference (t =0.147,P ＞ 0.05).After dressing,the pain scores of the experimental and the control groups were respectively (2.17 ± 1.53)and(4.30 ± 2.98),and the difference was statistically significant (t =6.796,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The handshake and consolation combined with breathing direction can effectively ease pain in the burns patients during dressing changes.
