Use of Breathing Exercises and Stress Balls During Dressing Changes in Burn Patients

In burn patients, failure to effectively manage pain and pain-related anxiety negatively affects the healing process; therefore, pain and anxiety must be carefully managed in burn patients. In addition to managing pain and anxiety, providing comfort-based care also contributes to improving the individual's health and recovery. In this study, the effect of breathing exercises and stress ball use during dressing changes on pain, anxiety, and vital signs in burn patients will be evaluated.
