Breathing exerciseExperimental: Pressurized Cold Application Group
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.
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.
Study summary
In our planned study, it is envisaged that patients who receive breathing exercises and pressurized cold application will experience a decrease in the level of pain they feel during the debridement process, a decrease in their anxiety levels, and an improvement in their vital signs, and that these study findings will constitute an important data source to reduce the pain and anxiety that occurs during the debridement process.

Primary outcome measure(s)
State Anxiety Scale — Breathing exercises will be performed 5 minutes before starting the debridement process. The exercise will last approximately 15-20 minutes, and the State Anxiety Scale will be administered before and 5 minutes after debridement process. The State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I) was developed by Spielberger in 1970, adapted to Turkish by Öner N et al. and its validity and reliability study was conducted. The anxiety level is scored as "(1) not at all, (2) a little, (3) a lot and (4) completely" in the STAI-I. Items 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 18 in the inventory are positive for 40 (increase total anxiety), and items 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19, and 20 are positive (decrease total score). The total score of the reverse statements is subtracted from the total score obtained for direct statements. In scoring, a score between 1 (or -1) and 4 (or -4) is expected for each item according to its positive or negative feature, and 50 is added to the total score to be obtained. The highest score is 80, the lowest score is 20. The higher the total anxiety score, the more anxiety the person has.
Visual Analog Scale — The patient will be applied compressive cold 10 minutes before the debridement process. A visual comparison scale will be applied to the patient before, during and 5 minutes after debridement process The Turkish validity and reliability of this scale, which was developed by Price et al. (1994) to assess the severity of pain, was conducted by Eti Aslan (2004) by assessing the presence of pain in patients in the postoperative period. The scale is graded from 0 to 10, with 0 = no pain, and 10 = unbearable pain.
