Reduction of pain in clients with autoimmune bullous dermatoses: evaluation by fuzzy logic

Abstract

Aim: to evaluate the intensity of the client’s pain with autoimmune bullous  dermatoses,  before  and  after the  protocol  of  nursing  care  is  applied to  a  client with autoimmune bullous dermatoses. Method: the data were treated using fuzzy logic. Results: when associating the implementation of the protocol with pain reduction in the 14 study subjects the following stand out: in T0, seven subjects presented high levels of pain, with a pertinence of 1.0; in T1, 24 hours after intervention, eight presented a low level of pain, with pertinences ranging from 1.0 and 0.75, and only one with high level of pain;  in  T2,  only  one  remained  with  a  high  level  of  pain.  Discussion:  the  use  of analgesics prior to application of the protocol demonstrates that change in pain intensity was  not  influenced  by  use  of  medication,  but  rather  by  the  implemented  care. Conclusion: based on the classifications of fuzzy logic, there was a significant reduction of pain levels, especially in the first 24 hours.
