Clinical Trial Summary
This study aims to compare the effects of ShotBlocker, virtual reality glasses and cold
application on pain and patient satisfaction in patients who were applied subcutaneous low
molecular weight heparin (LMWH) injection in adult patients.
Description:
The research being carried out in Ankara City Hospital Clinic of Orthopedics. The research
sample is expected to consist of 150 adult patients, who will be randomly divided into three
groups. First group will be applied ShotBlocker (n=50); second group will be applied Virtual
Reality Glasses (n=50) and third group will be applied subcutaneous LMWH via cold application
(n=50). So as to assess the effect of the injection, it will be applied on patients' left
side within abdomen site via standard method (control) while the same will be done on
patients' right side according to method of intervention (intervention). Therefore, each
patient will form both intervention and control groups. Prior to subcutaneous LMWH injection,
"Descriptive Characteristics Form", which includes participants' socio-demographic attributes
(gender, marital status, age, level of education, etc.), will be filled out by the researcher
by means of face-to-face interview. Following the injection, in order to evaluate patients'
pain, "Visual Analog Scale for Pain" will be filled while "Visual Analog Scale for
Satisfaction" will be used in order to identify patients' satisfaction with the application.
It is expected that compared to standard injection, ShotBlocker, virtual reality glasses and
cold application will reveal more positive results on pain and patient satisfaction during
subcutaneous LMWH injection in adult patients. Besides, the method that has the more effect
will be determined by comparing different methods. It is thought the data collected by the
research will contribute to literature.
