Burn dressing changes are frequently perceived as one of the most painful non-surgical procedures, and repeated exposure to wound care may contribute to anticipatory anxiety and stress, potentially creating a reinforcing cycle in which anxiety amplifies pain and pain increases anxiety. In outpatient burn care, effective nurse-patient communication may play a critical role in improving comfort, supporting coping, and enhancing engagement in ongoing treatment.\n\nEligible participants will be adults aged 18 years and older with second- or third-degree burns who have experienced at least three prior dressing changes, can communicate in Turkish, and have no major hearing or cognitive impairment or comorbid psychiatric\u002Fneurological condition that would prevent understanding of the study procedures. Participants who request withdrawal, require hospitalization during follow-up, or miss two consecutive intervention sessions will be withdrawn from the study. The required minimum sample size was estimated as 62 patients (31 per group) based on power analysis (effect size f=0.30; 80% power).\n\nAfter providing written and verbal informed consent, participants will be randomly assigned (simple randomization using Random Allocation Software) to either the COMFORT-based communication intervention group or the usual care control group. Data will be collected face-to-face in a quiet and private environment during dressing visits. At the initial visit, participants in both groups will complete a sociodemographic and burn-related information form and baseline assessments. Pain intensity will be evaluated using a Verbal Rating Scale and a Numeric Rating Scale, and pain anxiety will be assessed using the Burn-Specific Pain Anxiety Scale; perceived stress will also be measured.\n\nThe intervention will be delivered by a wound care nurse during three consecutive dressing sessions. Each session is structured to last approximately 10 minutes and uses specific components of the COMFORT Communication Model tailored to the dressing-change context. In Session 1, the focus is on establishing trust, providing clear information, and supporting patient control through Connection\u002FCommunication, Orientation and opportunity, and Relating strategies (e.g., explaining the procedure step-by-step, checking understanding, offering supportive options, and inviting the patient to signal if they want pauses). In Session 2, the focus shifts to creating space for emotions and strengthening supportive openings using Mindful communication, Openings, and Family components (e.g., exploring how the prior session felt, inviting expression of concerns, and identifying supportive persons). In Session 3, communication emphasizes personalization, meaning-making, and teamwork by integrating Relating, Team, and Meaning-focused prompts (e.g., reflecting on what was most helpful, supporting adaptive coping, and, if appropriate, facilitating communication with the clinical team). Throughout all sessions, routine wound care will continue as standard practice in both groups.\n\nOutcomes will be assessed repeatedly across the three dressing sessions. Pain and pain anxiety will be assessed before each dressing, and follow-up assessments will be repeated approximately 30 minutes after the dressing procedure. The primary objective is to determine whether COMFORT model-based nursing communication reduces procedural pain intensity and burn-specific pain anxiety compared with usual care during outpatient dressing changes. A secondary objective is to evaluate whether the intervention reduces perceived stress across sessions. Statistical analyses will include appropriate descriptive and repeated-measures comparisons to examine group differences over time.",[50,51,52],"Burn Patients","Pain Management","Nursing Interventions",[54,55,56,57,58,59],"burn patients","dressing change","pain","pain anxiety","Comfort communication model","nursing intervention","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-02-27",{"date":63,"type":64},"2026-03-02","ACTUAL",{"date":66,"type":44},"2026-02-17",{"date":68,"type":44},"2026-06-10",{"name":5,"class":6}]
