Effect of Training on IM Injection Practices

Nazike Duruk95 enrolled

Overview

The aim of this study is to observe how many nurses perform the steps of creating an air lock, identifying the ventrogluteal site, and applying the Z-track technique in intramuscular injections after theoretical and practical training. Research Hypotheses * The rate of administering intramuscular injections into the ventrogluteal site will be higher in the intervention group that receives low-fidelity simulator-based training compared to the control group. * The rate of applying the air-lock technique will be higher in the intervention group that receives low-fidelity simulator-based intramuscular injection training compared to the control group. * The rate of applying the Z-track technique will be higher in the intervention group that receives low-fidelity simulator-based intramuscular injection training compared to the control group.

This research was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to observe the extent to which nurses perform the steps of creating an air lock, identifying the ventrogluteal site, and applying the Z-track technique in intramuscular injections after receiving theoretical and practical training.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

In the study, the effectiveness of the skill training given to nurses was measured.

In the evaluation, the observation form of the intramuscular injection procedure steps with the Z technique from the Ventrogluteal region was used. After the trainings, the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale was used. The highest total score that can be obtained from the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale is 65 and the lowest is 13. The high score that can be obtained from the total of the scale indicates high satisfaction and self-confidence. Since the reliability coefficients of the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale and its sub-dimensions vary between 0.826 and 0.914, the scale was found to be reliable.

Time frame: Since the research was in the pre-test post-test design and the post-test was applied at least two weeks later, the data were collected in a period of up to four months.
