About this study

Reflexology massage regulates blood circulation and energy, gives a feeling of relaxation and provides homeostasis. During reflexology massage, relaxation music is recommended because it contributes to the relaxation of the individual. In the literature, reflexology massage and music therapy are used in different pain management, and these methods reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. However, there is no study in which reflexology massage and passive music therapy are used to reduce pain, anxiety and sleep problems associated with dressing of burn individuals. It is thought that reflexology massage and passive music therapy will reduce pain, anxiety and sleep problems in dressing changes of burned individuals.
