MAR (music-assisted relaxation): This method includes music listening, deep diaphragmatic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and imagery. MBI (music-based imagery): The MBI component occurred in the patient’s room for 15 to 30 min before and after the procedure and provided relaxing and safe experiences to the patient through music listening. MAE (musical alternate engagement): The MAE intervention was used to provide more physically engaging activities and participatory musical tasks during dressing changes in the treatment area.
