Summary

This study was needed to relieve the pain associated with subcutaneous injection, which is an application performed by nurses, to increase patient satisfaction, to increase patient compliance with treatment, and to strengthen positive patient-nurse communication.

OTHER

Vibration

The device used for vibration application is produced to control pain and direct attention by providing 6000/min vibration. According to Melzack and Wall's Gate Control Theory, the application of local vibration reduces perceived pain by stimulating nerve fibers. Therefore, it should be ensured that the device is in full contact with the skin. The device can be used again by wiping with 70% alcohol. The device is placed 3 cm above the area to be injected. Vibration is applied to the area for 5 minutes before the procedure.
