    Does the use of infrared technology (accuvein av-500®) for peripheral intravenous cannulation (pivc) increase the success rate in nursing students? A randomized controlled trial
    (Churchill Livingstone, 2022-01-01) Yücel, Şebnem Çınar; Ergin, Eda; Bağcı, Hazel; Khorshid, Leyla; Yılmaz, Hülya; YILMAZ, HÜLYA; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Genel Cerrahi Anabilim Dalı.; V-9164-2017
    Background: PIVC is one of the essential procedures of modern medicine, and is one of the most widely used and important treatments in the clinical setting. Nevertheless, it is one of the most difficult skills to teach in nursing education, and it is the skill which causes the most anxiety in nursing students.Objectives: The aim of the study was to examine the effect of the teaching method using infrared technology on PIVC success, duration, and the level of psychomotor skills and knowledge in the acquisition of PIVC skills in nursing students.Methods: This was a pre-test post-test randomized experimental study with a control group. The research was conducted in the Skills and Simulation Laboratory of a Nursing Faculty of a university between December 2019 and February 2020 to examine the effects of teaching PIVC measurement via infrared light on students' success rate. A theory lesson on PIVC followed 15 days later by laboratory practical was carried out with all of the students included in the study. The PIVC Knowledge Evaluation Form as a pre-test. The researchers completed the PIVC Skills Performance Test from observation during the application of the checklist. Immediately after the procedure, the PIVC Knowledge Evaluation Form was applied as a post-test.Results: The procedure success rate of the experimental group was 90%, and that of the control group was 46%. Comparing PIVC skill scores between the groups, the difference was found to be statistically significant (Z = -2.741; p < 0.05). The groups' PIVC knowledge levels increased in a similar way.Conclusion: Teaching with infrared technology contributes more to students' success in PIVC skills than does standard teaching. Both methods were effective in developing knowledge of PIVC.

    The effect of the z-track technique on pain and drug leakage in intramuscular injections
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016-11-01) Khorshid, Leyla; Dedeoğlu, Yasemin; Yılmaz, Dilek; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Yüksekokulu/Hemşirelik Bölümü.; 0000-0001-7269-8493; V-6292-2018; 57188753630
    Purpose/Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the Z-track technique in the administration of intramuscular diclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, on pain and drug leakage. Design: This is a semiexperimental and randomized controlled study. Methods: It was felt necessary to conduct this study to compare the effects on pain and drug leakage of the standard intramuscular injection method and the "Z-track technique,'' which is claimed to be helpful in this regard. The study was conducted in a government hospital in the Marmara region of Turkey. The research sample consisted of 60 patients, 26 female and 34 male, whose ages varied from 18 to 65 years. Sixty patients were randomly divided into 2 equal groups-the experimental group and the control group. The Z-track technique was used for intramuscular injection with the experimental group, whereas, with the control group, the standard technique of intramuscular injection was used. The patients of both groups were injected with 3-mL diclofenac sodium as prescribed by their doctor. Immediately after the procedure was finished and the needle was withdrawn, a different researcher used a 7 x 7-cm pre-prepared and sterilized standard drying paper to press on the needle entry point. The diameter of leakage was measured with a millimetric ruler and recorded on a data collection form. During this procedure, another nurse who was blind to the injection technique assessed the pain felt during the injection by means of the Visual Analog Scale. Results: In the experimental group, mean pain severity was found to be 28.30 +/- 23.0, and mean drug leakage was 6.93 +/- 4.62 mm, whereas, in the control group, these values were 36.40 +/- 28.40 and 10.03 +/- 3.69 mm, respectively. Conclusions: Drug leakage was reduced when administering intramuscular diclofenac sodium by the Z technique, but pain severity was not significantly reduced.
