Background and Aim: Pain anxiety is a major problem after burn injury. Medications do not completely reduce the pain anxiety of burn patients and are associated with side effects such as constipation, encephalopathy, respiratory problems, etc. Therefore, non-pharmacological interventions such as muscle relaxation along with pharmacological measures are needed to reduce pain anxiety in burn patients. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of muscle relaxation and mental imagery on pain anxiety in patients with second degree burn wounds.
Methods: This study was a clinical trial on 135 burn patients who were divided into two experimental groups and one control group. Pain anxiety in the control group was measured on the first and second days of the burn, before and after dressing, along with routine ward procedures, without any intervention. After discharge of patients in the control group, patients in the male ward 1, Benson relaxation method and patients in the male ward 2, the method of mental imagery were trained and patients' pain anxiety was measured, then the mean pain anxiety of all three groups was compared.
Results: There was no significant difference between the mean pain anxiety before and after dressing the first day of the burn and the mean pain anxiety before dressing the second day of the burn (P> 0.05), there was a significant difference between the mean pain anxiety after dressing on the second day of the burn.
Conclusion: There was a significant difference between the mean of pain anxiety in the experimental and control groups. The effect of mental imagery was greater than that of muscle relaxation.
