Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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. 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 hours 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.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

There is no control group in this research design. The participants themselves are also the control group. Intervention was applied to one injection site of the participants 2 hours before the injection and not to the other. Post-injection pain and ecchymosis were evaluated for both sites. The two researchers who analyzed the results do not know the region where the intervention was applied.

Primary Study Purpose

PREVENTION

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Investigators

Two researchers do not know which site was injected.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hypericum Perforatum Oil group

This research is a self-controlled study. One injected arm of the patient will be assigned to the intervention group and the other arm to the control group. İn the experimental arm, the research nurse working in the Coronary Intensive Care unit (CICU) applied 5-6 drops of HP oil on one arm of the patient with a patting motion 2 hours before the injection. The area was left open for the oil to be absorbed. Only this nurse who administered the injection knows on which arm the oil was applied. The assessment of ecchymosis and pain at the injection site was performed by two other investigators at the 48th hour of the injection (Single blind).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Topical hypericum perforatum oil intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

The research nurse working in the CICU applied 5-6 drops of hypericum perforatum oil on one arm of the patient with a patting motion 2 hours before the injection. The area was left open for the oil to be absorbed. Only this nurse who administered the injection knows on which arm the oil was applied.

Control group

This research is a self-controlled study. One injected arm of the patient will be assigned to the intervention group and the other arm to the control group.In the control arm, no treatment was performed before injection.The assessment of ecchymosis and pain at the injection site was performed by two other investigators at the 48th hour of the injection (Single blind).

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
