Avşar, Gülçin; Aydin, Esra
Periferik venöz kateterizasyon, periferik intravenöz kateterlerin yerleştirilmesini ve yönetimini içeren yaygın bir hemşirelik uygulamasıdır. Venöz sisteme geçici erişim sağlayan bu uygulama; genellikle sıvıları, ilaçları, kan ürünlerini veya diğer tedavileri doğrudan kan dolaşımına ulaştırmak amacıyla gerçekleştirilir. Periferik venöz kateterizasyon, tanısal ve teröpatik kapsamı nedeniyle klinik hemşirelik uygulamalarında en sık yapılan invaziv girişimlerdendir. Sağlık hizmetlerinin sunumunda yaygın bir prosedür olan periferik venöz kateterizasyon, hastalarda ağrıya neden olan rahatsız edici bir girişimdir. Periferik venöz kateterizasyon uygulamasında, hemşirelerin etkili bir yöntem kullanarak hissedilen ağrı ve rahatsızlıkları azaltması mümkündür. Özellikle son yıllarda ağrı yönetiminin sağlık bakım kalitesinin önemli bir göstergesi haline gelmesiyle, periferik venöz kateterizasyon sırasında yaşanan ağrıyı azaltmaya yönelik birçok yöntem geliştirilmeye başlanmıştır. Bu amaçla geliştirilen yeni yaklaşımlardan biri de lidokainin jet enjeksiyonudur.

Background Thirst is a sensation associated with a dry mouth and the desire or craving to drink water. Surgical patients are among those hospitalized individuals who are at high risk of developing both osmotic and hypovo-lemic thirst. Objectives To develop a new measurement tool for evaluating the thirst-related discomfort of surgical patients and to assess its validity and reliability. Methods The study population consisted of patients admitted to the surgical clinics of a research hospital in Turkey between January and March 2022. The new measurement tool was developed in several stages: a pilot implementation phase with 51 patients and the main implementation phase with 198 patients. Data were col-lected by means of face-to-face interviews with patients. Exploratory factor and confirmatory factor analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics, version 22, and IBM SPSS Amos. Results The final Thirst Discomfort Scale consisted of 12 items in 3 subdimensions. The Cronbach α values of the scale subdimensions ranged from 0.787 to 0.848, and the Cronbach α value for the scale as a whole was 0.886. The scale explained 66.237% of the total variance of the data. Conclusion The Thirst Discomfort Scale consisting of 12 items and 3 subdimensions is a valid and reliable measurement tool for evaluating thirst-related discomfort of surgical patients.

This study was conducted in order to examine the effect of “Shotblocker” in relieving pain associated with intramuscular injection. The population of the study consisted of all the patients who were hospitalized in the hospital and received intramuscular diclomec treatment. In order to eliminate the individual pain differences, each patient constituted their own control group. Patient Information Form, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Shotblocker were used to collect the data. Pain level of the patients was measured by using VAS within the first minute after the injection. The pain mean score of the patients was 1.22 ± 0.62 in the experimental group and 2.48 ± 1.12 cm in the control group and the difference between them was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Shotblocker was determined to be effective on relieving pain associated with intramuscular injection.
