The effect of therapeutic storytelling on pain, fear, and anxiety levels in children undergoing burn dressing
Aim
This study aimed to assess the impact of therapeutic storytelling on pain, anxiety, fear, physiological parameters, and parental anxiety and satisfaction levels in children undergoing burn dressing procedures.
Methods
A randomized controlled trial was conducted between April 2023 and June 2024 with 60 pediatric patients and their parents in the burn unit of a hospital in Istanbul. Participants were randomized into two groups: the intervention group (n = 30), who listened to a digitized therapeutic story during burn dressing, and the control group (n = 30), who received standard care without additional intervention. Data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Child Anxiety Meter-State, Child Fear Scale, Wong-Baker Pain Scale, Parental Satisfaction Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Scale, and a Physiological Parameters Form.
Results
The mean age of the children was 3.96 ± 0.99 years; 53.3 % were male, and 83.3 % lived in nuclear families. Children in the storytelling group experienced significantly lower pain, anxiety, and fear levels during and after the procedure compared to the control group (p < 0.001). In the intervention group, anxiety levels progressively decreased from before to after dressing (p < 0.001), while fear and anxiety in the control group increased during the procedure but decreased afterward. Significant differences were observed between the groups in pulse rate, systolic, and diastolic blood pressure across all dressing stages (p < 0.001), whereas oxygen saturation levels showed no significant difference (p > 0.05).
Conclusion
Listening to therapeutic stories in a digital format effectively reduced pain, anxiety, and fear during burn dressing in children, improved physiological parameters, and enhanced parental satisfaction. This is a simple, fast, and cost-effective art-based method that nurses can apply during burn dressing with minimal equipment and preparation.
期刊介绍:
Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice.
Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
