Effects of Applying Streaming Media on Reducing Pain in Patient With Second-degree Burn During Changing Dressing

To Investigate the Effects of Applying Streaming Media on Reducing Pain Medication, Anxiety, and Pain and Related Factors in Patient With Second-degree Burn During Changing Dressing：A Cross-over Randomization Study

During the acute phase of burn injuries, the focus for patients is primarily on wound pain and infection care. Patients often describe the pain during dressing changes as a sharp, stabbing sensation. Pain is a distressing experience for burn injury patients, affecting both their physical and mental well-being, as well as influencing wound healing. The pain caused by dressing changes is a significant issue that leads to physical and emotional suffering for patients.

Background: During the acute phase of burn injuries, the focus for patients is primarily on wound pain and infection care. In this stage of treatment, frequent dressing changes are necessary, with some wounds requiring daily cleansing to promote healing and prevent infection. Patients often describe the pain during dressing changes as a sharp, stabbing sensation. Pain is a distressing experience for burn injury patients, affecting both their physical and mental well-being, as well as influencing wound healing. The pain caused by dressing changes is a significant issue that leads to physical and emotional suffering for patients. Objective: The aim of this study is to conduct a cross-over randomized clinical trial to compare the effects of with using streaming media (video and audio) on reducing pain medication use, anxiety, pain intensity, and factors related to pain during dressing changes for second-degree burn patients. Methods: This study plans to utilize a cross-over randomized clinical trial design with patients from the burn injury ward of a regional teaching hospital in Chiayi. Research instruments include demographic characteristics, disease information, Burn Pain Anxiety Scale, Numerical Pain Scale, and vital signs. Statistical methods will encompass descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, chi-square test, generalized estimating equations, and multiple linear regression to identify the effectiveness of streaming media usage during dressing changes for second-degree burn patients in reducing pain medication use and anxiety, as well as related factors. Expected outcomes: It is anticipated that the use of streaming media during dressing changes for second-degree burn patients will lead to reduced pain medication use, anxiety, and related factors. The results of this study can provide evidence for the intervention of using streaming media to alleviate dressing change pain effectively during the care of second-degree burn patients, thereby enhancing the quality of pain care.

The intensity of pain 30 minutes before the dressing change The intensity of pain when starting the dressing change (remove gauze) The intensity of pain when at the dressing change (washing the wound) The intensity of pain when at the end of the dressing change (the dressing is wrapped) The intensity of pain 30 minutes after the dressing change

The intensity of anxiety 30 minutes before the dressing change The intensity of anxiety 30 minutes after the dressing change
