Abstract

Objective:Dressing change is a routine care practiced for burn patients, which due to the skin injury of patients, can be associated with severe pain. In spite of drug intervention, 75% of adult patients with burn have to tolerate severe pain in this process. The results of studies suggest that non-pharmaceutical methods such as hypnosis can help pain management in burn patients beside drug treatments. Thus, this study seeks to explore the effectiveness of hypnosis in relieving pain associated with burn dressing change.
 
Method: In this study, 30 patients with second-degree burn hospitalized in Imam Reza Hospital of Mashhad, were assigned to two experiment and control groups. Both groups received the same drugs, and the pain scores were estimated by a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)  before and after dress change. The experiment group was put under analgesic hypnosis during dressing change. The data were recorded for a week and mean and standard deviation were used for data description, and covariance analysis and significant level (p< 0/01) were used for data analysis.
 
Findings:The findings indicate a significant difference between the results of pretest and posttest group in the experiment group. The same significant difference was also observed in the results of posttest in the experiment and control groups as well. However, there was not any significant difference between pretest results of the control and experiment groups or the pretest and posttest results of the control group.
 
Conclusion:The results suggest  the efficacy of  hypnosis  in reducing pain  associated with burn  dressing  change
