Description
Summary:İt is found out that one of the most pain giving and causing disturbance of the interventions applied for the patients at the hospitals is İM injection. To reduce individuls pain is very important to the nurses. The pain depending on intramuscular injections which have physical and emotional effect should be reduced to maintain patient-nurse relations, patient satisfaction, nursing quality and the adaptation of the patient to the medicinal treatment. This study was conducted in order to investigate the effect of music and the pressure applied to the site on pain induced by intramuscular injection. The data of the study were collected between 15 March and 1 June 2014. 78 voluntary individuals were included in the study. The injections were administered by using three methods; "applying pressure" to the site before injection, "music practice" starting before injection and lasting until the end of injection, and "standard practice" where no special practice was done. Three injections were administered to each participant from ventrogluteal site with 24-hour interval. 1 ml sterile apyrogenic distilled water was used as injection solution in all injections and the participants marked the level of the pain, experienced by them, on Visual Analogue Scale right after the injections. Mean pain scores were found to be 3.1±2.2, 3.1±2.3 and 2.0±1.9 for standard, pressure and music applications respectively. In standard and pressure applications, difference between mean pain scores was found to be statistically not significant (p>0.05). However, the differences between the mean scores of standard injection and music applications (p
