- Abstract
Background and Objective: Burn is one of the most common events in childhood. Pain relief in burn patients helps to stabilize the patient's hemodynamic parameters. This study aimed to investigate the effect of visual aberration on dressing replacement pain in children aged 6-12 years. Materials and Methods: In this one-blind clinical trial with a control group, 80 children aged 6-12 years admitted to the burn ward of Besat Hospital in Hamadan were selected by Available sampling method and then randomly divided into two groups of control and visual aberration. Data were collected using a demographic profile checklist and Usher pain tool. In the visual distraction group, a cartoon of a cat and mouse was broadcast from two minutes before the end of the dressing. In both groups, pain intensity was measured and recorded 10 minutes before dressing, at intervals of two minutes during dressing, and 5 minutes after dressing. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16 software and one-way analysis of variance and analysis of variance with repeated measures. Results: The results showed that no significant differences were found in the demographic characteristics of children and parents between the two groups of visual distraction and control (P˃0.05). The mean scores of pain intensity at all measurement times between the two groups of visual distraction and The control had a statistically significant difference and in general, the pain intensity score in children in the visual distraction group was lower than the control group (P <0.001). Conclusion: In general, the results showed that the visual distraction method is effective in reducing the severity of burn pain in children.
