Özet:

 Aim: This study was conducted to determine the knowledge level of nurses working in a public hospital regarding the use of the Z-track technique in intramuscular injection application. Method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study involved 130 nurses working in a public hospital in Turkey between January and April 2019. Personal information form and the Suggestions form for the use of Z-track technique in intramuscular injection application were completed. Statistical analyses included the Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman correlation. The significance level was taken as p  0.05. Results: In this study, 71.5 of the nurses stated that they did not receive Z-track technique training, 78.5 did not use the Z-track technique, and 55.4 stated that they did not have sufficient knowledge about the Z-track technique. The mean accuracy score of nurses knowledge regarding the use of the Z-track technique in IM injection was 7.612.41. The level of knowledge about the Z-track technique was found to be statistically higher in those below 30 years of age, in single people, and in those working in clinics that perform IM injections p0.05. In the research, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the knowledge levels of those whose professional working time was between 11 and 15 years Mean Rank  46.09 and those whose professional working time was 5 years or less Mean Rank  77.46 p  0.031. Likewise, in the study, there was a statistically significant difference between the knowledge levels of those who worked at their current workplace for 10 and 12 years Mean Rank  44.26 and those who worked for 4 and 6 years Mean Rank  78.04 p  0.037. A statistically significant, weak negative linear relationship was identified between age r-0.324, p0.000, professional experience r-0.250, p0.004, and tenure at the current workplace r-0.217, p0.013 with knowledge levels. Conclusion: This study found that nurses knowledge levels regarding the Z technique were insufficient. In order for nurses to have up-to-date information, it is recommended to provide in-service training at regular intervals and to measure training outcomes through exams. In addition, in order to increase the use of Z-track technique, it would be useful to develop, implement and supervise standards for the use of Z-track technique.

 Amaç: Bu araştırma bir devlet hastanesinde çalışan hemşirelerin intramüsküler enjeksiyon IM uygulamasında Z tekniğini kullanımına ilişkin bilgi düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu çalışmaya Ocak-Nisan 2019 tarihleri arasında Türkiyedeki bir devlet hastanesinde çalışan 130 hemşire katılmıştır. Veriler, Kişisel bilgi formu ve İntramüsküler enjeksiyon uygulamasında Z tekniği kullanımına yönelik önermeler formu ile toplanmıştır. İstatistiksel analizler arasında Mann Whitney U testi, Kruskal Wallis testi ve Spearman korelasyonu yer aldı. Anlamlılık düzeyi p0,05 olarak alındı. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada hemşirelerin 71,5i Z tekniği eğitimi almadığını, 78,5i Z tekniğini kullanmadığını, 55,4ü Z tekniğine yönelik yeterli bilgisinin olmadığını ifade etmiştir. Hemşirelerin IM enjeksiyon uygulamasında Z tekniği kullanımına yönelik bilgi önermelerinin doğru ortalaması 7,612,41 olarak bulunmuştur. Z tekniğine yönelik bilgi düzeyi 30 yaş altında olanlarda, bekârlarda ve IM enjeksiyon uygulayan kliniklerde görev yapanlarda istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır p0,05. Araştırmamızda mesleki çalışma süresi 11- 15 yıl arası olanlar Mean Rank46,09 ile 5 yıl ve altı olanların Mean Rank77,46 p 0.031 bilgi düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu saptanmıştır. Aynı şekilde araştırmamızda şu anki iş yerinde çalışma süresi 10-12 yıl arası olanlar Mean Rank44,26 ile 4-6 yıl arası olanların Mean Rank78,04 p0,037 bilgi düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu saptanmıştır. Yaş r-0,324; p0,000, mesleki çalışma süresi r-0,250; p0,004 ve şu anki iş yerinde çalışma süresi r-0,217; p0,013 ile bilgi düzeyi arasında zayıf düzeyde negatif yönde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı doğrusal bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Bu araştırmada hemşirelerin Z tekniğine yönelik bilgi düzeylerinin yeterli olmadığı bulunmuştur. Hemşirelerin güncel bilgiye sahip olmaları için düzenli aralıklarla hizmet içi eğitim verilmesi ve sınavlarla eğitim çıktılarının ölçülmesi önerilmektedir. Ayrıca Z tekniği kullanımını artırmak için Z tekniği kullanımına yönelik standartların geliştirilmesi, uygulanması ve denetlenmesi yararlı olacaktır.
