Summary

Burn injuries are a significant global health problem, leading to serious physical, psychological, and social challenges for affected individuals. The literature emphasizes that dressing changes are among the most painful and anxiety-provoking procedures, negatively impacting treatment adherence and patient well-being. Although pharmacological methods are used to alleviate pain and anxiety, they are often insufficient due to potential side effects and addiction risks.

In recent years, advancements in digital technologies-particularly virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and hologram applications-have offered promising distraction-based approaches. Hologram technology, through three-dimensional and interactive visuals, can divert the patient's attention from traumatic stimuli, thereby reducing pain, anxiety, and fear in an innovative way. However, there is limited scientific evidence regarding the use of hologram applications during burn dressing changes.

This study aims to examine the effects of hologram applications on pain, anxiety, fear, patient satisfaction, and physiological parameters during burn dressing procedures. The research will be conducted at Erzurum City Hospital Burn Center, with a total of 70 patients assigned to experimental and control groups using simple randomization. Data collection tools will include the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Burn Specific Pain Anxiety Scale, satisfaction and fear VAS assessments, and physiological parameter recording forms. The study will be carried out between November 2025 and May 2026. The results are expected to provide evidence-based insights into the feasibility and effectiveness of hologram technology as a non-pharmacological, innovative intervention in burn care.

Showing videos with holograms

The intervention in this study is the use of a three-dimensional hologram video as a distraction method during burn dressing procedures. Unlike conventional video or virtual reality (VR) applications, the hologram projects interactive 3D images into real space without requiring headsets or wearable devices. Patients can visually perceive the holographic content directly in front of them, allowing natural interaction and immersion. This feature provides a stronger distraction effect by engaging the patient's attention with vivid and dynamic images during the painful procedure. Thus, the hologram differs from standard video watching by offering an immersive, spatial, and realistic experience that does not restrict movement or require equipment contact with the burned area.
