Time invested before dressing removal is
time well spent. Talking to patients about
how much pain they can expect, together
with an explanation of measures that are
in place to minimise their pain will help to
reduce feelings of fear and anxiety.
Patients who feel more pain than
expected from a procedure may become
less confident about the nurse treating
them and be more anxious about future
dressing changes (Smith et al, 1997;
Vingoe, 1994). Anxiety is thought to generate
an autonomic response such as
muscle tension and an increase in heart
rate, while focusing on the pain, past experience
and the meaning of the pain all contribute
to the level of pain a patient experiences
(Vingoe, 1994).
Smith et al (1997) have suggested some
simple measures that can be used for
reducing anxiety during painful dressing
procedures (Box 4).
