Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of music therapy on state anxiety and pain among patients undergoing burn dressing changes. Method: A convenience sample of 32 adult burn patients who were eligible and provided consent were included in the study which was a quasi-experimental study of a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Fifteen patients in the control group received the routine burn dressing changes but 17 patients in the experimental group listened to self-selected music through headphones connected to a CD player during burn dressing changes for three days. All subjects of the music group chose the type of music that would relax them. Before and after burn dressing changes, subjects completed the State Anxiety Inventory and self-report of pain scores. Result: There was a significant reduction in state anxiety before and after burn dressing changes in those who received music therapy in contrast to those who did not receive music therapy. The music group reported lower pain scores before and after burn dressing changes than did the non-music group. Conclusion: These findings indicate that music therapy composed of self-selected music is a valuable intervention for the treatment of pain and anxiety in patients undergoing burn dressing changes.

Laryngeal neoplasm is the second most common malignancy of the upper aerodigestive tract. About 85% to 95% of laryngeal malignancies are squamous cell carcinoma that arises from the epithelial lining of the larynx. The exact cause of laryngeal neoplasm is unknown, but certain risk factors can affect the chances of developing it. Chronic inflammation is a mutagen factor confirmed in the carcinogenesis of various tumor. Inhalation injuries cause histopathologic damage to laryngeal mucosa and inflammation change. This long term inflammation may leads to the development of dysplasia and malignant transformation. Recently, we experienced a case of malignant transformation of laryngeal mucosa after inhalation injury patient 25 years ago. Herein, we reported this rare case and review the relevant literature.

Purpose: This study was done to evaluate the effects of a recreation therapy program on burn rehabilitation patients to determine if the program is an effective nursing intervention which can affect mental health problems and heart rate variability. Methods: Subjects were 54 hospitalized burn rehabilitation patients (25 in the control group, 29 in the experimental group). The experimental group participated 6 times in a recreation therapy program led by a qualified instructor. Brief symptoms inventory-18 (somatization, anxiety, depression) questionnaire, and heart rate variability were checked before and after the recreation therapy program. Results: The mental health scale showed significant differences in somatization (p<.001), anxiety (p<.001) and depression (p<.001). There was no significant difference in heart rate variability (autonomic activity, autonomic balance, stress resistance, stress parameter and fatigue, mean heart rate, electro-cardiac stability). Conclusion: The findings from this study suggest that a recreation therapy program is an effective nursing intervention to decrease the level of mental health problems of burn rehabilitation patients. However, a subsequent study is needed to develop an intervention program that will induce the effect of physiological parameters like heart rate variability (HRV).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate post-burn itching relevant characteristics in the rehabilitation phase. Methods: Ninety four burn patients who were hospitalized in the rehabilitation phase participated in the study. Self-reported Leuven itch scale-Korean was used to evaluate itching related characteristics. Data were analyzed with descriptive analysis, $x^2$ test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: All subjects except two had the itching. Itching frequency revealed that 68.1% of subjects experienced itching one or more episodes a day or always, and 18.7% had episode durations lasting more than 2 hours per incidence. Mean severity and distress of itching was $5.3{\pm}2.4$ and $5.2{\pm}2.5$, respectively. Itching sensation dimension of tickling was 56.4%. More than 25% of subjects "often" or "always" affected reduced quality of life, loss of concentration, bad mood, and difficulty in falling asleep. Satisfaction with itching treatment was intermediate level. Conclusion: Post-burn itching in the rehabilitation phase was a significant problem despite pruritus treatment. Based on the finding of this study, development of comprehensive and tailored nursing intervention programs for itching could be suggested.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to report that Korean Medicine treatment is effective in treating pain in burn patients. Results : We effectively reduced the pain that occurred after the end of the burn treatment through Korean Medicine such as multiple acupuncture, cupping, Sugi therapy, and external salve. VAS(Visual Analog Scale) values were reduced from 8 to 2 after about 23 days of treatment. Conclusions : This report shows that there was no special effect on dermatology treatment for pain that occurred after the end of treatment of burn patient, but it can also be excellent through Korean Medicine alone. It's only one case, so it cannot be determined that Korean Medicine for a burn is excellent. but if more excellent burn treatment of Korean Medicine is reported continuously, it will prove its validity. Therefore, it is hoped that more case reports and studies on burn treatments will be done in the future.

본 연구의 목적은 손 기능에 문제가 있는 환자들을 중심으로 splint의 효과를 알아보기 위한 기초조사로써 2명의 환자를 제주 한마음병원(Case1, 2)에서 2001년 6월부터 11월까지 조사하였다. 2명의 환자는 다음과 같다. i) 사례 1 : 뇌성마비 아동(4세, 남, 오른손)으로 한쪽 손목과 엄지손가락에 강직으로 인하여 잡기 기능에 제한이 있는 편마비 아동이다. ii) 사례 2 : 전기화상(56세, 남, 왼손)으로 4-5번째 손가락의 M.P joint와 I.P joint에 관절운동 제한으로 완전하게 주먹을 질 수가 없다. 연구를 위하여 손 기능의 평가는 표준화가 되어있는 Jebsen-hand function test, Total passive Motion(TPM)을 사용하였으며, 환자들의 만족도를 알아보기 위해서는 Canadian Occupational Performance Measure(COPM)을 사용하였다. i) 사례 1 : 두 가지 splint를 적용하였다. 즉 낮 동안에는 splint 1, 밤 동안에는 splint 2를 6시간 이상 착용하도록 하였으며 작업치료는 시행하지 않았다. ii) 사례 2 : 이 환자에게는 작업치료가 끝나는 동시에 splint. 3을 6시간 이상 착용하도록 하였으며, M.P joint와 I.P joint의 관절 변화를 조절하도록 특별히 고안된 splint를 적용하였다. 그 결과 사례 1의 Jebsen-hand function test시 초기에는 측정을 할 수가 없었으나, splint착용 후 크고 가벼운 물건 옮기기(44.15), 크고 무거운 물건 옮기기(42.66), 적목쌓기(44.63), 먹기 흉내내기(54.47) 등에서 처음 동작만 도와주면 측정이 가능할 수 있도록 진전을 보였다(그래프1), 사진(착용 전과 착용 후). 사례 2의 경우 Jebsen-hand function test의 적목쌓기와 먹기 흉내기가 가장 높았으며, 글씨 쓰기가 가능했다. 손의 관절가동 변화에서도 splint 착용전의 측정치와 착용 후 관절 가동 범위의 변화 폭이 약 $30_{\circ}$이를 보여주었다(그래프 2), (그래프3). 결론적으로 손 기능 회복에 직접적인 재활 치료뿐만 아니라, 치료 후에도 splint를 착용하여 가정에서도 계속적인 치료가 될 수 있도록 하는 것이 손의 기능회복에 도움이 됨을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 각 환자의 문제점을 파악하여 적절한 splint를 제작해 줄 필요가 있다고 사료된다. 이 기초조사를 시작으로 하여 더 많은 환자들을 대상으로 splint가 손 기능 회복에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 그 효과에 대하여 계속적인 연구가 필요할 것이다.
