Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of cold spray application on pain in reducing pain associated with intramuscular penicillin injection in children. Method: The population of this experimental type of research was consisted of patients who applied to the pediatric emergency department of a hospital for intramuscular penicillin injection between March 10 and June 10, 2021. The sample of the study was consisted of 55 children aged 7-17 who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study. In addition, each patient formed his/her own control group to eliminate individual differences in pain. Personal information form and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to collect data. Results: As a result of the research, it was determined that the mean VAS score of the control group (X:7.27, SD:1.59) was significantly higher than the mean VAS score of the experimental group (X:4.55, SD:1.87) (p<0.001). Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that cold spray application before intramuscular penicillin injection in children significantly reduced injection pain.
Amaç: Bu araştırma çocuklarda intramüsküler penisilin enjeksiyonu ile ilişkili ağrıyı azaltmada soğuk sprey uygulamasının ağrıya etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: Deneysel türde olan bu araştırmanın evrenini; 10 Mart-10 Haziran 2021 tarihleri arasında bir hastanenin çocuk acil servisine intramüsküler penisilin enjeksiyonu için başvuran hastalar oluşturdu. Araştırmanın örneklemini ise araştırmaya alınma kriterlerine sahip olan ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 7-17 yaş aralığında yer alan 55 çocuk oluşturdu. Ayrıca ağrıya yönelik bireysel farklılığı ortadan kaldırmak için her hasta kendi kontrol grubunu oluşturdu. Verilerin toplanmasında Kişisel bilgi formu Görsel Analog Skala (VAS) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırma sonucunda standart enjeksiyon uygulaması ortalama VAS skorunun (X:7.27, SS:1.59) anlamlı olarak soğuk sprey sonrası enjeksiyon uygulamasının VAS skorundan (X:4.55, SS:1.87) yüksek olduğu saptandı (p<0.001). Sonuç: Araştırmada çocuklarda intramüsküler penisilin enjeksiyonu öncesi soğuk sprey uygulamanın enjeksiyon ağrısını anlamlı olarak azalttığı belirlendi.
