Özet:

 


Objective: Because of the pain they cause, injection applications can constitute a negative experience for both the patients and the nurses performing the application. This study was planned to compare the effectiveness of local ice and manual pressure applications in decreasing the injection pain experienced by patients.


Methods:This study performed a university hospital in Turkey. Onehundred and five patients,45 in the lokal ıce group, 45 in the manuel pressure group and 45 in the control group, met the inclusion criteria and completed the study. The local ice group received cold ice application to the injection area before injection. The manual pressure group was received 10 seconds of pressure applied by the researcher to the injection area before injection.  The control group received routine injection. Study data was collected using The Wong‐Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale and The Visual Analog Pain Scale. 

Results: A statistically significant difference among the groups with regard to mean WBS and VAS scores was found as a result of the study. The control group received a higher score compared to the groups which underwent manuel pressure and local ice applications.


Conclusions: It was concluded that local ice and manuel pressure applications before IM injections were effective in decreasing the injection pains of patients.
