Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the Helfer Skin Tap Technique and the ShotBlocker Technique in reducing pain in babies receiving intramuscular vaccination.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Helfer Skin Tap Technique group

During intramuscular vaccine administration, the muscle will be tapped with the palmar surface of the fingers of the other hand that is not used, with light rhythmic movements, counting for 1-15 seconds. Then, when the muscle is entered with the injection, it will continue to be hit with light rhythmic movements for 1-3 seconds. Thus, the muscle will relax and the fibers around the muscle will be stimulated. Mechanical stimulation given with the Helfer Skin Tap technique during intramuscular vaccine administration will distract the baby's attention.

PROCEDURE

ShotBlocker Technique group

The protruding but not sharp surface on the ShotBlocker tool will be placed on the baby's skin before intramuscular vaccine administration. Injection will be applied to the middle part of this vehicle, which has a 'U' appearance. This tool, which does not cause any harm to the skin surface, will provide stimulation to the muscle fibers according to the Gate Control Theory related to pain.
