Abstract

Objectives: This study was planned to investigate the effect of a mixture of beeswax, olive oil and A. Tinctoria (L.) Tausch on burn wounds to determine the impact on burn healing, pain during dressing changes and duration of hospital stay. Methods: The study was conducted between May 2014 and August 2015 in the Burn Unit of Ataturk University Research Hospital. The sample of this experimental study consisted of 64 patients (31 experimental group and 33 control group) who met its inclusion criteria. While the specially prepared dressing material was applied to the experimental group, the control group was administered the clinic's routine dressing. The injuries were photographed before each dressing. Each picture was uploaded to a computer for measurement with ImageJ software. Numbers, percentages, chi square, Independent samples t-test and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to assess the data. Results: The patients in the experimental and control groups had similar descriptive characteristics and burn injury features (p > 0.05). The average age of the patients in the control group was 5.52 +/- 0.64 years, and 6.68 +/- 1.09 years in the experimental group. The majority of the patients were male (control: 54.5%, experimental: 58.1%). Boiling liquids were the most common cause of both groups' burns (control: 93.9%, experiment: 83.9%). The most common first aid practice used was the application of cold water (control: 75.0%, experimental: 43.6%). The epithelization initiation time average of the experimental group patients (3.00 +/- 0.85 days) was found to be earlier than that of the control group patients (6.90 +/- 1.77 days), and this difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The mean pain scores experienced by the patients in the experimental group during dressing (8.12 +/- 1.38) were determined to be lower than those of the control group (9.39 +/- 1.05), and this difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). It was also found that mean hospitalization durations of the patients in the experimental group (8.22 +/- 3.05) were shorter than those of the control group (14.42 +/- 7.79), and this difference was also found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: When a beeswax, olive oil and A. tinctoria (L.) Tausch mixture was applied to second degree burns, this accelerated epithelization, reduced the pain experienced during dressing changes and shortened the hospital stay durations of the patients.
