Breathing exercise

"Patients participating in the breathing exercise group will be trained to apply the breathing exercise at least 1 hour before starting the debridement process. 5 minutes before starting the debridement procedure, the researcher will start breathing exercises in the patient's room. The exercise duration will be approximately 15-20 minutes, and the environment will be quiet, at room temperature and well ventilated during the exercise.~The gel part of the pressurized cold therapy bandage will be removed and kept in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to make it ready for application. The cold gel pack removed from the freezer section of the refrigerator will be placed inside the pressurized cold therapy bandage before application. Pressurized cold will be applied to the patient 10 minutes before starting the debridement procedure."

DEVICE

Experimental: Pressurized Cold Application Group

The gel part of the pressure cold therapy bandage will be removed and kept in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to make it ready for application, and the cold gel pack taken from the freezer section of the refrigerator before application will be placed inside the pressure cold therapy bandage. Pressure cold will be applied to the patient 10 minutes before starting the debridement procedure. The patient will be assessed and recorded by a nurse independent of the research on the State Anxiety Scale before and after debridement, and the Visual Comparison Scale before, during and after debridement.
