This study discusses the advancements in nursing, particularly focusing on intramuscular injections, their complications, and innovative non-pharmacological methods such as the Shotblocker and palm stimulator to reduce pain. These methods, based on the gate control theory, aim to minimize discomfort during injections by applying tactile stimulation, which has proven effective in various studies.
It was planned to examine the effect of shot blocker and palm stimulator use on injection-related pain during intramuscular injection.This study is a randomized controlled, single-blind, parallel group experimental study to be conducted in the emergency department of a State Hospital in Konya, Turkey. The research will be conducted on individuals who will receive intramuscular (IM) injection. Participants will be randomized and divided into Shotblocker, Palm stimulator and control groups. Data collection will run from April 2024 to May 2024 and analyzes will be conducted blinded by an independent statistician. This study aims to evaluate the effects of these techniques on pain and anxiety.
