| description | INTRODUCTION: Intramuscular injection is one of the fundamental duties of the nurses and midwives. Despite it was seen as a simple and basic application, many complications caused by wrong intramuscular applications were reported in the literature. This study was conducted in order to evaluate the intramuscular injections given by the nursing and midwifery students at Van Yuzuncu Yil University, Health School. METHODS: This study is a fractional study. The participants involved in the research is made up of the nursing and midwifery students at Van Yuzuncu Yil University Health School, in 2014, spring term (n=577). 378 students who accepted to participate in the study constitute the sample of this research. In line with the literature question forms were prepared by the researchers and used for data collection. In the question form, along with the questions related to demographic characteristics, education and department information, the preparation of injection and its application were asked too. RESULTS:
70,4% of the students stated that they preferred dorsolateral area as the injection site for adults and rektusfemoris for newborn (72%). It was determined that 95,2% of the students recommended patients to take a deep breath durig the injection and 46,6% of the students approved quick and firm injection. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It is believed that the knowledge of nursing and midwifery students about the intramuscular injection is not at the required level. In this sense, traditional approaches should be replaced by current and evidence based knowledge. |
