ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the application of system relaxation training on the posttraumatic stress disorder for the families of burned children, so as to provide a basis for the application of valid nursing in children families.Methods:A total of 80 cases of burned children in Children′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and corresponding 80 households were recruited and divided into the observation group and the control group with 40 cases each group. The patients and households from January 2019 to May 2019 in the control group received routine care, while the patients and households from February 2020 to June 2020 in the observation group received system relaxation training based on the routine care for four days. The posttraumatic stress disorder and uncertainty in illness of children families before and after intervention were evaluated by Posttraumatic stress Checklist-Civilian version(PLC-C) and Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale-Family Member form(MUIS-FM) and compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the scores of PLC-C and MUIS-FM before intervention in the households between the two groups( P>0.05). After intervention, the scores of re-experiencing symptoms, avoidance/numbing, increased arousal symptoms and total PTSD scores in the households were (8.40 ± 1.79), (14.35 ± 2.85), (8.25 ± 1.28), (31.10 ± 3.52) points in the observation group and (11.28 ± 2.37), (16.75 ± 2.09), (9.10 ± 1.93), (37.13 ± 4.40) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were -6.76 - -2.32, all P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of ambiguity, deficit information and total MUIS-FM scores of the households were (37.08 ± 6.58), (20.15 ± 4.38), (84.38 ± 6.90) points in the observation group and (41.13 ± 6.54), (22.05 ± 3.32), (90.13 ± 7.85) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t =-2.76, -2.19, -3.48, all P<0.05). Conclusions:System relaxation training can alleviate posttraumatic stress disorder and reduce uncertainty in illness of the families of burned children.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of background music therapy on the pain management of school age burn children during function exercises.Methods:A total of 78 burned children of school age were divided into intervention group (39 cases) and control group (39 cases) according to random number table method. The control group received routine function exercises, the intervention group was listening background music during function exercises. The pain degree was evaluated by Face, Legs, Activity, Crying, Consolability (FLACC) scores, children's medical fears was determined by Broome's Child Medical Fear Questionnaire (CMFQ), activities of daily living was assessed by Barthel index.Results:At 1th, 2th, 3th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, the FLACC scores were (3.82±0.46), (3.25±0.49), (3.29±0.57), (3.04±0.59), (2.82±0.58), (2.90±0.48), (2.31±0.32) points in the intervention group, (4.26±0.54), (3.88±0.84), (4.09±0.86), (3.82±0.65), (3.75±0.68), (3.39±0.72), (2.97±0.64) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 3.457-6.363, all P<0.05). After intervention, the fear medical environment, medical operation fear fear, self scores were (6.84±1.44), (5.28±1.41), (4.18±1.58) points in the intervention group, and (7.96±1.34), (7.56±2.43), (5.78±1.31) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.511, 4.995, 4.779, all P<0.05). However, the scores of activity of daily life between two groups was no statistical difference ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Background music therapy can alleviate pain degree and medical fear of burn children during function exercises and serve as a useful non-drug strategy for pain management.
