Effect of Hypericum perforatum oil on prevention ecchymosis and pain associated with subcutaneous heparin injection: A self-controlled single-blind study
Background
Low molecular weight heparin is a drug with anticoagulant and antithrombotic effects. This drug is frequently administered subcutaneously to patients by nurses. Complications such as pain, ecchymosis and hematoma may commonly occur at the injection site. This study investigated the effect of Hypericum perforatum oil in preventing pain and ecchymosis after subcutaneous injection low molecular weight heparin.
Methods
This quasi-experimental and single blinded study was conducted with 160 patients in a coronary intensive care unit. The researcher nurse applied 5–6 drops of Hypericum perforatum oil to one arm of the patients 2 h before the injection. The other arm of the patient was considered as the control arm. A total of 320 injections were administered. The evaluation of the injection sites was performed by two other researchers at 48th hours. The data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and McNemar test.
Results
In the arm which was applied Hypericum perforatum oil the mean pain score was 0.08 ± 0.55 and the mean ecchymosis size was 2.49 ± 10.32 mm. In the control arm, the mean pain score was 1.28 ± 1.97 and the mean ecchymosis size was 13.29 ± 18.99 mm according to the measurements made at 48th h after injection. The difference between the measurements in both arms was statistically significant (p = .000).
Conclusions
It showed that Hypericum perforatum oil is effective in preventing pain and ecchymosis after low molecular weight heparin injection. However, the research needs to be repeated.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Integrative Medicine (AIMED) is an international peer-reviewed, evidence-based research and review journal that is multi-disciplinary within the fields of Integrative and Complementary Medicine. The journal focuses on rigorous quantitative and qualitative research including systematic reviews, clinical trials and surveys, whilst also welcoming medical hypotheses and clinically-relevant articles and case studies disclosing practical learning tools for the consulting practitioner. By promoting research and practice excellence in the field, and cross collaboration between relevant practitioner groups and associations, the journal aims to advance the practice of IM, identify areas for future research, and improve patient health outcomes. International networking is encouraged through clinical innovation, the establishment of best practice and by providing opportunities for cooperation between organisations and communities.
