No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to evaluate whether virtual reality (VR) can reduce pain and improve sleep quality during wound dressing changes in burn patients with 25-60% total body surface area (TBSA) burns, compared to standard care.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Virtual Reality Distraction

Participants in the experimental group received immersive virtual reality distraction during their wound dressing change procedure. They wore an Oculus Quest 2 headset and were immersed in a calming, interactive virtual environment (e.g., a peaceful beach or forest) for the duration of the dressing change (approximately 30-45 minutes). The audio was enabled to enhance immersion. This intervention aimed to reduce procedural pain and improve sleep quality through cognitive distraction and relaxation.

OTHER

Standard Care

Participants in the control group received standard care during their wound dressing change, which included verbal reassurance and routine analgesic administration as prescribed, without any additional distraction techniques such as virtual reality. No specific intervention was administered beyond standard clinical practice.
