Abstract

Background: The most commonly reported side effect of intramuscular injection is pain. Cold needles and ShotBlocker can be used as non-pharmacological methods for pain relief. This study aims to determine the effect of cold needle and ShotBlocker on pain and satisfaction in intramuscular injection pain.

Methods: This is a triple-blind, randomized controlled study. The study was conducted on 120 patients (40: control, 40: cold needle, 40: ShotBlocker) who presented to the emergency department of a university hospital in Turkey for cyanocobalamin injection in July-August 2024. Data were collected using a patient identification form, visual pain scale (VPS), and injection satisfaction scale. SPSS statistical package (version 22.0; SPSS, Inc., USA) was used to analyze the data.

Results: In the study, the groups were found to be similar except for age and continuous drug use. The pain scores of the control group were significantly higher than those of the cold needle and ShotBlocker groups. Injection satisfaction was significantly higher in the cold needle and ShotBlocker groups than in the control group.

Conclusion: Both the Cold Needle and the ShotBlocker can be used as effective methods to reduce pain associated with intramuscular injections and improve injection satisfaction. Both methods are non-pharmacological, inexpensive, and easy to use, and they can be used safely and effectively in all clinical settings.

期刊介绍: Australasian Emergency Care is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to supporting emergency nurses, physicians, paramedics and other professionals in advancing the science and practice of emergency care, wherever it is delivered. As the official journal of the College of Emergency Nursing Australasia (CENA), Australasian Emergency Care is a conduit for clinical, applied, and theoretical research and knowledge that advances the science and practice of emergency care in original, innovative and challenging ways. The journal serves as a leading voice for the emergency care community, reflecting its inter-professional diversity, and the importance of collaboration and shared decision-making to achieve quality patient outcomes. It is strongly focussed on advancing the patient experience and quality of care across the emergency care continuum, spanning the pre-hospital, hospital and post-hospital settings within Australasia and beyond.
