Abstract

Background: Burn injuries are a traumatic experience that can cause significant pain and sleep disturbances that impact patients' healing and recovery. Aim: Was to evaluate the effect of eye movement exercise on pain and sleep quality among patients with burn. Design: A quasi-experimental (pretest - post test non equivalent control group) design was used to achieve the current study aim. Setting: The current study was carried out at a burn unit affiliated to an educational University Hospital, Cairo, Egypt. Sample: A purposive sample of 60 adult patients with burn was recruited for the study, the sample was divided equally into two groups; study group who received conventional treatment and eye movement exercise and control group who received conventional treatment only. Tools:  Three tools were used for data collection; Tool (I): Participants' Demographic Characteristics and Medical Related Data Form; Tool (II) The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Tool (III) Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).  Results: Mean age of the current study participants were 36.43 ± 13.45 years for the study group and 33.43 ± 9.09 for the control group. There were  statistically significant differences in pain mean scores between the two groups after one and two weeks (P value =0.000& 0.05 respectively). Also, there was statistical significant difference between the two groups in relation to total PSQI after one week only (P value =0.000).  Conclusion: Based on the findings of the current study, the implementation of eye movement exercise has a significant effect on improving patient's pain severity and sleep quality among patients with burn. Recommendations: Eye movement exercise should be promoted in nursing management of burn as it can alleviate pain sensation and improve sleep quality.
