Protocol summary

Study aim
The research aims is investigating the effect of pain control through relaxed breathing Technique in patients referring to Burn Clinic of Rasht during burn dressing procedure.
Design
A randomized controlled clinical trial with parallel groups, without blinding, will be conducted for 62 patients. Random Allocation Software will be employed for randomization.
Settings and conduct
All patients who referred to Velayat Burn Center of Rasht will be included in the study provided that they meet the selection criteria, The sampling will be performed based on the gradual referral of patients to the center. The patients assignment to 2 groups of A ( receiving breathing training) and B (receiving routine burn care) will be based on their conformity with selection criteria, the 4- Block Randomization procedure, and the order determined through Random Allocation Software prior to the beginning of the study. The list, of patients, will be kept in sealed envelope in the Burn Research Center or the Nursing Office to be read daily and in orderly manner at the beginning of the study.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The participants with second-degree burns and above 15 years of age, will join the study after obtaining their informed consent. The patients with neuropathic symptoms, use of narcotics, inability to communicate pain intensity, chemical and electrical burns, burns extending over more than one anatomical areas and those hospitalized for burn severity will be excluded from the study.
Intervention groups
Patients suffering from second-degree burns with no neuropathic symptoms who seek dressing change in Burn Clinic of Rasht in 2020 will be included in the study.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Initially, the patients’ pain intensity will be assessed employing the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) by a research team member before starting dressing. The patient will exercise the breathing Technique 5 times during 10-minute dressing care. The pain intensity will be reassessed upon redressing the burn region. The patients, then, will be asked to express the degree of their satisfaction with the burn care procedure in terms of “full satisfaction’, Partial satisfaction” and “dissatisfaction”. The responses will be recorded in the data collection form. The patients with a VAS rate above 3 after the intervention, will be prescribed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or acetaminophen as analgesics at the discretion of the physician and the patients' conditions.
