Abstract

Aims

This study was conducted with the aim of examining the effect on pain intensity of the vibration technique applied at the injection site and squeezing a stress ball during the administration of Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination.

Methods

This was a randomized controlled single-blind experimental study. The study included 120 adults who were randomly selected between July and November 2022. One experimental group (n = 40) received local vibration by means of a Buzzy® device, and the other (n = 40) were given a stress ball to squeeze. Routine vaccination procedure was performed with the control group (n = 40). The level of pain felt during the vaccination procedure was assessed on a visual analog scale.

Results

The pain score of individuals during the vaccination procedure was found to be significantly lower in the vibration group than in the control group (P = .005) and the stress ball group (P = .036), but there was no significant difference between the control and stress ball groups (P = .851). Also, it was found that the variables of gender, age and body mass index did not affect the average pain intensity of individuals during the vaccination procedure.

Conclusions

It was found that local vibration applied by means of the Buzzy® device was effective in reducing the levels of pain relating to administration of the Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination. Nurses should think of the application of vibration as a choice in the management of pain relating to Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination.

一项随机对照研究:两种非药物方法在辉瑞- biontech COVID-19疫苗(BNT162b2)给药期间疼痛管理的效果比较

本研究旨在探讨在辉瑞- biontech公司新冠肺炎疫苗接种过程中，注射部位施加振动技术和挤压压力球对疼痛强度的影响。方法采用随机对照单盲实验研究。该研究包括120名成年人，他们是在2022年7月至11月期间随机选择的。其中一组(n = 40)通过Buzzy®装置进行局部振动，另一组(n = 40)给予应力球进行挤压。对照组(n = 40)进行常规疫苗接种。在疫苗接种过程中感受到的疼痛水平在视觉模拟量表上进行评估。结果接种过程中，振动组个体疼痛评分显著低于对照组(P = 0.005)和应激球组(P = 0.036)，但对照组与应激球组之间差异无统计学意义(P = 0.851)。此外，研究发现，性别、年龄和体重指数等变量对接种过程中个体的平均疼痛强度没有影响。研究发现，通过Buzzy®装置施加的局部振动可有效降低与辉瑞- biontech COVID-19疫苗接种相关的疼痛水平。护士应该考虑将振动应用于与辉瑞- biontech COVID-19疫苗接种相关的疼痛管理中。
