Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of ventrogluteal intramuscular injection technique on pain and physiological parameters in children.
The quasi-experimental study was conducted with 90 children aged 6-12 years. The data were obtained from two groups: the control group, in which routine care was applied during intramuscular injection, and the intervention group, in which the ventrogluteal intramuscular injection technique was applied. The pain and physiological parameters of children in both groups before and after the intervention were compared.
The mean pulse rate was lower in the intervention group compared to the control group after the procedure (p\<0.05). When the mean pain scores after the procedure were analyzed, the scores in the intervention group were lower than in the control group (p\<0.05). The use of ventrogluteal intramuscular injection technique during in children was effective in reducing pain levels and decreasing pulse rate. These findings support incorporating this technique into routine nursing practice to enhance comfort and safety during intramuscular injections in children.

Ventrogluteal IM injection protocol
Ventrogluteal IM Injection tecnique
Ventrogluteal IM injection technique:
During IM injection into the ventrogluteal region:
* The entrance angle of the needle is 90º.
* The 25-gauge (1-inch) syringe is held with the active hand as if holding a pen, and no hand change is made during the injection.
* The needle is rapidly inserted into the skin and withdrawn at the same angle 5 seconds after the injection.
* The drug is injected for 5 seconds/mL without blood aspiration during injection.
* Light pressure is applied to the area after injection, with no massage performed.
To evaluate the appropriateness of the application ventrogluteal IM injection technique, the opinions were obtained of five experts in nursing principles and child health and disease nursing.
