VR-PMR for Post-Burn Symptoms

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), delivered either alone or enhanced with virtual reality (VR), can help treat chronic symptom, such as pain, itch, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and fatigue, in adult burn survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does VR-enhanced PMR (VR-PMR) reduce chronic pain, anxiety, itch, sleep disturbances, and fatigue more effectively than standard PMR? * Is VR-PMR a feasible and acceptable self-administered home-based intervention for burn survivors? Researchers will compare two self-administered intervention conditions, VR-enhanced PMR and standard PMR, using a randomized to sequence crossover design to see if VR technology enhances the therapeutic effects of PMR on chronic symptom management in burn survivors. Participants will: * Complete home-based sessions of VR-enhanced PMR * Complete home-based sessions of standard PMR * Report symptoms such as pain, itch, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and fatigue throughout the study * Use VR equipment provided for the intervention period (during the VR-PMR arm)

The Effect of Preoperative Hugging With Family Members on Preoperative Anxiety Levels and Postoperative Pain

The aim of this randomized prospective study is to examine the effect of preoperative family hugging (for at least 20 seconds) on preoperative anxiety levels and postoperative pain. The main question the study aims to answer is: * Does preoperative hugging reduce anxiety levels? * Does preoperative hugging reduce postoperative pain scores? Anxiety and pain scores will be evaluated between patients who hugged and those who did not hug their family members before surgery, and whether hugging has an effect will be assessed.
