“…1,2,4,5,7 The literature shows that VG site can be safely used for IM injection since it does not have large blood vessels or nerves and it is away from bone tissue. 4,22 Even though VG site is described as the safest site for IM injection, majority of the nurses prefer DG site. 2,17 The current study was conducted to investigate the sites chosen by nurses for IM injections and determine the factors that affect such choices.…”

“…DG site is preferred by nurses in emergency, ICU, gynecology/delivery room, and operating units. Despite not being recommended in the literature, 4,9,22 DG site is employed in many units of the hospital because the nurses are not following the current literature. As emphasized strongly at many other occasions, the need to organize trainings about why VG site should be given priority under favorable conditions is demonstrated in this study.…”

Objective:This study was carried out to determine the sites which are selected by nurses to use in the intramuscular medicine applications and the factors affecting the selection of the injection sites. Methods: The population of this descriptive and cross-sectional type of study was composed of 250 nurses working in two hospitals in Istanbul, the sample was composed of 171 nurses selected by stratified random sampling method. Data were collected with 'Structured Questionnaire Form'. Results: The average age of the nurses was found to be 26.27±7.46 years, it was determined that 40.4% of them applied injection very often and they preferred dorsogluteal site to apply injection with a ratio of 83.6%. When the knowledge level of nurses about the complications that may occur depending injection site, it was seen that some nurses did not consider complications such as pain, nerve, bone and vascular injury, infection, necrosis, tissue irritation, nodules or stiffness, abscess and hematoma in the deltoid site. On the other hand, it was learnt that they had a risk of developing sciatic nerve damage in the ventrogluteal site. The unit, which the nurses work and the experience period in that unit affects the site selection in injection application. As a result, nurses often prefer the dorsogluteal site in injection. Conclusion:The nurses' knowledge about the complications that may ocur in the sites chosen for injection by them is insufficient and there are factors affecting the selection of the site. ÖzAmaç: Bu çalışma hemşirelerin intramusküler ilaç uygulamalarında seçtiği enjeksiyon bölgeleri ile bölge seçimini etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel türdeki bu araştırmanın evreni İstanbul'daki iki hastanede çalışan 250 hemşire; örneklemini ise tabakalı rastgele örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen 171 hemşire oluşturdu. Veriler, 'Yapılandırılmış Soru Formu' ile toplandı. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin yaş ortalamasının 26,27±7,46 yıl olduğu, %40,4'ünün çok sık intramusküler enjeksiyon uyguladıkları, intramusküler enjeksiyon için %83,6 oranla öncelikli olarak dorsogluteal bölgeyi tercih ettikleri belirlendi. Hemşirelerin intramusküler enjeksiyon bölgesine göre gelişebilecek komplikasyonlar hakkında bilgi düzeyleri incelendiğinde; bazı hemşirelerin ağrı, deltoid bölgede sinir, kemik ve damar yaralanması, enfeksiyon, nekroz, doku tahrişi, nodül veya sertlik, apse ve hematom gibi komplikasyonları bir risk olarak görmedikleri öte yandan ventrogluteal bölgede siyatik sinir hasarı gelişme riskinin bulunduğunu ifade ettikleri görüldü. Hemşirelerin çalıştıkları ünite ve ünitedeki deneyim süresi intramusküler enjeksiyon uygulamasında bölge seçimini etkilemektedir. Sonuç olarak, hemşireler intramusküler enjeksiyon uygulamasında sıklıkla dorsogluteal bölgeyi tercih etmektedir. Sonuç: İntramusküler enjeksiyon için seçtikleri bölgelerde gelişebilecek komplikasyonlar konusundaki bilgileri yetersizdir ve bölge seçimini etkileyen faktörler bulunmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: İntramusküler enjeksiyon, ventroglutea...

“…(7,9) VG bölgesinin kas dokusunun fazla olması, subkütan dokunun daha ince olması, büyük kan damarları ve sinir içermemesi, kemik dokusuna uzak olması ve bölge tespitinin kolay olması nedeniyle enjeksiyon bölgesi olarak kullanılması önerilmektedir. (7,10) DG bölgesi ise diğer bölgelere göre daha kalın subkutan doku varlığı, damarların daha fazla olması ve siyatik sinir yakınlığı nedeniyle IM enjeksiyon için en riskli uygulama bölgesi olarak görülmektedir. (4,5,6,11) Ancak, bu konuda yapılan çalışmalar değerlendirildiğinde, hemşirelerin IM enjeksiyon uygulaması için VG bölgesi yerine DG bölgesini yaygın olarak kullandığı görülmektedir.…”

Aim: While it is recommended that the ventrogluteal (VG) region is safer for intramuscular (IM) injection administration, we have observed that nurses mainly prefer the dorsogluteal (DG) region. Accordingly, the present study was carried out to examine the reasons for the nurses not to prefer the VG region in IM injection administrations. Material and Method: This descriptive study comprised 100 nurses working in a university hospital in the Konya province between June and July 2018. A questionnaire form was used to collect data. In order to be able to carry out the study, written institutional consent, ethics committee approval, and the verbal consent of participants were received. The SPSS packaged software was used for evaluation of the data, and number, percentage, and mean values were calculated in analyzing the data. Findings: It was seen that of the nurses participating in the study, the average age was 31.96±6.94, the average working year was 10.41±6.18, 75% were female, 53% held a bachelor's degree, 50% worked in internal medicine clinics, 84% used the DG region for IM injections, and 72% never administered an injection to the VG region. It was also determined that the nurses did not use the VG region because they were unaccustomed to it (40%), lacked enough information about the region (33%), could not identify the region (31%), and the patients were unaccustomed to IM injections administered in that region (30%). Conclusion: Nurses use the traditional region DG more because of a lack of knowledge and experience of the VG region.

“…The regions used for intramuscular (IM) injection in children are the deltoid, ventrogluteal, and laterofemoral regions. Although the laterofemoral (vastus lateralis muscle) region is the most frequently preferred region in children, it is emphasized that the safest region for IM injection is the ventrogluteal region [1][2][3][4] .…”

“…The vastus lateralis muscle in the laterofemoral region is a safe region for IM injections due to its distance from nerves and blood vessels, the low risk of administering the drug to the subcutaneous tissue, multiple injections, easy access, and easy location 4,7 . In contrast, the ventrogluteal region is a region that does not contain large blood vessels and nerves, has a thick muscle density, is preferred for the application of irritating and oily solutions, and is less painful during injection 1 .…”

OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to compare the levels of pain developed during intramuscular injections to the laterofemoral and ventrogluteal regions in children. METHODS:The study population consisted of all children aged between 7 and 12 years who presented to the pediatric emergency clinic of a hospital. The sample consisted of 62 children who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study, and the children were randomly assigned to each group (laterofemoral n=31, ventrogluteal n=31). "Buzzy" and "deep breathing" were applied to children in both groups to relieve pain during the procedure. The data were obtained using an Information Form, a visual analog scale, and the Facial Pain Scale-Revised. RESULTS: It was determined that the children in the ventrogluteal group during the intramuscular injections had lower visual analog scale and faces pain scale-revised scores immediately after the procedure compared with the vastus lateralis group, that is, they experienced less pain, and the difference between the two groups was significant (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: In children, it is recommended to choose the less painful ventrogluteal region for intramuscular injection and to inform health professionals about it.
