Key Points

Assess the efficacy of guided imagery as an adjunct to occupational therapy for patients with acute burns.
Quasi-experimental design with 40 patients divided into control and experimental groups.
Control group received routine occupational therapy; experimental group received guided imagery plus routine OT.
Interventions conducted for 45 minutes, twice weekly, over four weeks.
Both groups showed significant improvement in pain levels as measured by VAS, p<0.05.
Anxiety scores decreased in the experimental group compared to the control group, indicating better management of anticipatory anxiety.
Functional limitations improved significantly as assessed by the Patient-Specific Functional Scale in the experimental group.
