Abstract
Background: Pain related to burn dressing is the most extensively aspect of burn pain. Pain management is an integral component of nursing practice. Distraction can be increasingly used as pain reducing methods. Aim of the study: the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of distraction techniques on minimizing pain associated with burn dressing changes among preschool children. A quasi experimental design was conducted in the present study. Sample: 105 burned children were randomized into three equal groups; 35 child per group: video game group (I), toys group (II) and control group (III). Setting: burn unit of Al-Ahrar Educational Zagazig Hospital. Tools: Three tools were used in the present study as follows; questionnaire interview sheet, burn assessment sheet and pain assessment tool using Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS) to evaluate pain intensity. Results: revealed that there was statistically significant difference between physiological responses and pain intensity during dressing change in study and control groups. Conclusion: distraction techniques using videogames and toys had a significant positive effect in minimizing pain associated with burn dressing change among preschool children. Recommendations: Based on the results of the present study distraction techniques should be integrated into the routine nursing care with combination of pharmacological methods as well as application of non-pharmacological pain management in hospitals as a routine and daily care.
