AbstractTen adult patients hospitalized as a result of major burn injury participated in a study that used a single-subject, repeated reversal design in which subject-reported pain during patient-performed washing was compared with subject-reported pain during nurse-performed washing. Analysis, by repeated-measures ANOVA, of verbal numeric pain scores obtained at regular intervals intraprocedurally, indicated that each of the 10 subjects experienced significantly less pain under the condition of patient-performed washing compared with the condition of nurse-performed washing (p < 0.001 through p < 0.05). The quality of washing did not differ significantly (p < 0.05) between conditions, nor did the amount of opioid medication administered (p < 0.05). Results support the active participation of patients with burn injuries in their dressing changes.
