Summary

This study was planned to determine the effects of using virtual reality glasses and manual pressure during intramuscular injection on the level of pain and fear in children. The study will consist of children aged 6-10 years who come to the Pediatric Emergency Service injection room for prescription penicillin injection and meet the inclusion criteria. One of the main purposes of nursing care is to relieve the child's pain and improve the quality of life. In this context, it has been suggested that two different methods used by the researcher can positively affect the levels of pain and fear. For this reason, it is aimed to determine the efficiency level of two different methods.

Conditions

  • Intramuscular Injection

Interventions

OTHER

Virtual reality glasses group

It is suggested that the use of virtual reality glasses during the injection will positively affect the pain and fear levels in children who received penicillin injection in the pediatric emergency department where the study was conducted.

OTHER

Manual pressure group

In the pediatric emergency department where the study was conducted, pressure will be applied to the area to be injected for 10 seconds before the injection procedure in children who received penicillin injection. Pressing with the thumb of the hand, which will be passive in the pressing application, will be understood by the whitening of the nail, and thus pressure will be applied to the skin. It is suggested that it can positively affect pain and fear levels.
