Abstract:
Objective:To study the effect of rhythmic breathing on pain in burn patients.
Methods:A total of 100 patients with burns in Tangshan Workers Hospital were randomly selected from August 2015 to August 2017. They were randomly divided into control group and experimental group by random number table method, with 50 cases in each group. Baseline variables were recorded for each patient, and pain scores for each patient was scored on the fourth day after admission by the pain scale questionnaire score. At the same time, from the fourth day of admission, each group began to give sterile dressings to treat burns. The control group only used a conventional care mode that included dressing coverage therapy. The experimental group added rhythmic breathing on this basis. The pain scores were scored on the 5th day, the 6th day, and the 7th day after admission. The pain scores of the 3 days in each group were compared, and the difference in pain scores between the 2 groups was compared.
Results:In the experimental group, the pain scores on the 5th day, the 6th day and the 7th day of admission were (1.53±1.90), (1.68±1.37), and (1.97±1.18) points, respectively, and the control group was (3.64±0.85). (3.74±0.78), (3.85±0.81) points, there were significant differences in pain scores between the two groups (U=5.76, 8.65, 7.79, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in pain scores on the 5th day, 6th day and 7th day in the observation group (P>0.05). There was statistically significant difference in pain scores between the control group on day 5, day 6, and day 7 (χ2=6.83, P<0.01).
Conclusions:Rhythmic breathing relieves pain after burns.
