Administration of intramuscular injections (IM) is now common practice in pediatric clinical settings. For this reason, nurses should both update their clinical skills and provide evidence-based practices to children. The aim of this study; The aim of this study is to compare vastus lateralis (VL) and ventrogluteal (VG) region applications in terms of pain and fear in safe and evidence-based intramuscular injection application in children.
H0: There is no difference in terms of pain and fear between the children aged 4-6 years who received IM from the vastus lateralis (VL) region and those who received IM from the ventrogluteal (VG) region.
H1: Children between the ages of 4 and 6 years IM administered from the vastus lateralis (VL) region have higher pain than those administered IM from the ventrogluteal (VG) region.
H2: The fear of children aged 4-6 years who underwent IM from the vastus lateralis (VL) region is higher than that of children who were administered IM from the Ventrogluteal (VG) region.
Intramuscular injection (IMI) is widely used in the pediatric emergency department and is a cause of pain for children. The aim of this study is to compare the vastus lateralis (VL) and ventrogluteal (VG) region applications in terms of pain and fear in intramuscular injection application in children aged 4-6 years.
The population of the study consists of children aged 4-6 years who applied to the emergency department for IM injection. The sample of the study consisted of 80 children (40 in the intervention group, 40 in the control group) who met the inclusion criteria within the specified date range.
The injection technique was explained to the parents and children by showing the location of the VL and VG regions on the model doll. Both parents and their children were informed about the research. Written and verbal consent was obtained from the parents and verbal consent was obtained from the children. It was decided to meet the control group for one week and the intervention group for one week in order to avoid any interference between the two groups. In which week the children will be included in which group was randomly determined in the computer environment. There are two stretchers and a privacy curtain between them in the injection room in the Pediatric Emergency Clinic where the research was conducted. The nurse in charge of the daily injection room changes. For each patient who comes for injection, the ordered prescription is checked first, and then it is entered into the hospital system. The ordered drug is based on 10 correct drug administration principles (1. Correct drug, 2. Correct dose, 3. Correct patient, 4. Correct time, 5. Correct route of administration, 6. Correct patient education, 7. Correct registration, 8. Confirmation of rejection. , 9. Correct drug preparation (form), 10. Correct answer). In order to determine whether a drug-related reaction has developed or not, the patient is observed until 15-30 minutes after the application (the time varies according to the drug). In the clinic, IM injection to children aged 4-6 years is routinely performed by nurses from the VL region.
Data collection instruments Questionnaire form, Wong-baker faces pain rating scale (WBFPTS), Children's Fear Scale (CFS) were used in the study.

| Experimental | Experimental | Ventrogluteal region IM injection will be applied to the children in the intervention group, which is recommended by the literatureIn order to ensure that the children in the groups are similar in terms of two factors (same drug, same nurse) in the assignment, they will be assigned to the groups first by stratified sampling method and then by simple random sampling (http://www1.assumption.edu/users/avadum/applets/RandAssin/Groupgen). .html). In the case of a 5% margin of error and an effect width of 0.70 at 80% power, the total number of patients, including 40 control and 40 intervention groups, who met the inclusion criteria of the study, was determined as 80. |

| children pain | Comparison of VL and VG injection application in terms of pain in children aged 4-6 years. Wong-baker faces pain rating scale (Wong-baker) It can be applied between the ages of 3-18. It can be applied in many pains such as acute, chronic and postoperative pain. It was developed by Wong and Baker. The horizontal plane also contains six hand-drawn facial expressions. It is scored between 0-10 points. It symbolizes the phrase "no pain" with a smiley face on the far left. Pain increases from sodan to right. On the far right, there is a crying facial expression with tears representing the expression "unbearable pain". | through study completion, an average of 3month |
| fear | Comparison of VL and VG injection application in terms of fear in children aged 4-6 years. Children's Fear Scale CFS is used to scale the child's anxiety level. The CDS is a scale from 0-4, consisting of showing five drawn facial expressions ranging from a neutral expression (0=no anxiety) to a frightened face (4=severe anxiety). | through study completion, an average of 3month |
