AB  - Objective: For a safe intramuscular injection, it is essential to provide nurses with knowledge and skills for using the ventrogluteal site. This study was conducted to determine the effect of structured education on the knowledge and skills of nurses on ventrogluteal injection and their ventrogluteal site preference for intramuscular injection.Methods: The study was carried out between February and December 2021. The sample consisted of 81 nurses. While training was given to the experimental group (n=46), no training was provided for the control group (n=35). The data were collected using the Information Form, Determination Form of First-Choice Site for Intramuscular Injection, Knowledge Level Form for Ventrogluteal Injection Administration,Ventrogluteal Injection Skill Checklist, and Observation Form for Determining the Choice Site for Intramuscular Injection.Results: The experimental group’s follow-up test rates of choosing the ventrogluteal site for intramuscular injection were found to be higher than those of the control group. Besides, In the follow-up data, the knowledge and skill scores of the experimental group for administering injections into the ventrogluteal site were found to be higher than those of the control group (p
