Effect of Subcutaneous Injection Applied to Two Different Areas on Formation of Pain and Ecchymoses
Abstract (≤250 WORDS)
Objective: This research was conducted quasi-experimentally to detect the effect of subcutaneous injection, which was applied to two different areas, on formation of pain and ecchymosis. Material and Method: The study was conducted after the research ethical committee approval, in palliative care clinic of a training and research hospital in Izmir between June, 15 and December, 30 in 2013. The study sample was composed of 70 patients who were adults, conscious, not hear-impaired, not pregnant, did not have allergy history and hematologic disease, had undestroyed tissue integrity in leg and abdominal site and would undergo anticoagulant treatment for the first time. During the data collection, “Patient Identification Form”, “Ecchymosis Inspection Form” and “Visual Analogue Scale” were used. The injection area of the patients, whose arms and abdominal areas were subjected to subcutaneous injection, were marked. After 48 hours, these areas were examined and the size of the ecchymosis was determined via a rule and recorded. Findings: The mean age of the patients was 63.62±12.74 years. 71.4% of the patients had chronic diseases. While the ecchymosis size in arm was 0.82±0.45, the ecchymosis size in abdominal region was
0.65±0.450.82. There was a statistically significant difference between ecchymosis size which was formed after subcutaneous injection in arm and abdominal regions. The mean scores of severity in the patients during process were found to be 4.32±1.27 for the arm area and 3.45±1.68 for the abdominal area. There was a statistically significant difference between pain score of patients in arm and abdominal areas during the subcutaneous injection. Conclusion: Consequently, it was found that the patients felt less pain during injection that was applied to abdominal region and the ecchymosis sizes were also smaller. In the applications of subcutaneous injection, the use of abdominal area rather than arm area can be claimed to decrease ecchymosis formation and level of pain. Efforts should be made to inform the families and include the infants in the screening programme who cannot pass the initial screening tests and who are not involved in further control tests.
