Summary

The ventrogluteal injection is an invasive and often painful procedure commonly performed in healthcare settings. This study aimed to compare the effects of acupressure and cold application on pain, anxiety, comfort, and hemodynamic parameters prior to the ventrogluteal injection procedure.

Research questions

1. What is the effect of acupressure and cold application to acupressure points on pain caused by the ventrogluteal injection procedure?
2. What is the effect of acupressure and cold application to acupressure points on anxiety caused by the ventrogluteal injection procedure?
3. What is the effect of acupressure and cold application to acupressure points on comfort during the ventrogluteal injection procedure?
4. What is the effect of acupressure and cold application to acupressure points on pulse rate during the ventrogluteal injection procedure?
5. What is the effect of acupressure and cold application to acupressure points on respiratory rate during the ventrogluteal injection procedure?
6. What is the effect of acupressure and cold application to acupressure points on diastolic blood pressure during the ventrogluteal injection procedure?
7. What is the effect of acupressure and cold application to acupressure points on systolic blood pressure during the ventrogluteal injection procedure?
