The Effect of Subcutaneous Heparin Injection Administration Training Given to Nurses on Their Knowledge and Skill Levels
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the lack of knowledge about subcutaneous injection application of nurses and to examine the effectiveness of the training given to increase their knowledge, skills in this direction.
Methods: The study was a quasi-experimental study using a pretest-posttest design involving 42 nurses (21 in the intervention group and 21 in the control group) selected by lottery from a public hospital in Türkiye. The intervention group received training on subcutaneous injection administration, while the control group did not receive any training. Data were collected through three follow-up sessions by two observers using forms containing skill checklists and information suggestions for nurses.
Results: Significant differences were found between the intervention and control groups before (Z=-2.231, p=.026), after (Z=-5.590, p<.001) and one month after (Z=-4.712, p<.001) the training. Common errors in the intervention group after the training were “injecting the drug and airlock quickly” (94.24%) and “squeezing dry cotton tampon” (38.10%). In the control group, 33.33% “did not squeeze the tampon between the ring and pinky finger”. There was also a significant difference in knowledge scores according to the duration of education (p<.05).
Conclusion: The knowledge and skills of the nurses who received training in subcutaneous heparin injection application increased after the training.
