For burn patients, the daily dressing process causes pain and anxiety. Although drugs can relieve them, the degree of pain during dressing changes is often moderate to severe. Therefore, relevant supporting interventions, like music as an ideal intervention, could alleviate the patient’s pain. This study investigated the impact of music intervention at dressing change time on burn patients’ pain and anxiety.
