Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to observe how many nurses perform the steps of creating an air lock, identifying the ventrogluteal site, and applying the Z-track technique in intramuscular injections after theoretical and practical training. Research Hypotheses

• The rate of administering intramuscular injections into the ventrogluteal site will be higher in the intervention group that receives low-fidelity simulator-based training compared to the control group.
• The rate of applying the air-lock technique will be higher in the intervention group that receives low-fidelity simulator-based intramuscular injection training compared to the control group.
• The rate of applying the Z-track technique will be higher in the intervention group that receives low-fidelity simulator-based intramuscular injection training compared to the control group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• In the study, the effectiveness of the skill training given to nurses was measured.

  In the evaluation, the observation form of the intramuscular injection procedure steps with the Z technique from the Ventrogluteal region was used. After the trainings, the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale was used. The highest total score that can be obtained from the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale is 65 and the lowest is 13. The high score that can be obtained from the total of the scale indicates high satisfaction and self-confidence. Since the reliability coefficients of the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale and its sub-dimensions vary between 0.826 and 0.914, the scale was found to be reliable.

  Since the research was in the pre-test post-test design and the post-test was applied at least two weeks later, the data were collected in a period of up to four months.
