EFFECT OF BUZZY APPLICATION ON PAIN AND INJECTION SATISFACTION IN ADULT PATIENTS WHO RECEIVED INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTION MSc RN Melek AHN Prof. Dr. smet EER 75th Year Milas State Hospital Ege University Nursing Faculty Within the category of parenteral medications are intramuscular (IM) injections (WHO, 1999). The administration of
intramuscular (IM) injection is a basic nursing skill and is a common nursing procedure in the clinical setting. Turul E., Khorshid L., Effect On Pain ntensity of Injection Sites and Speed of Injection Associated with Intramuscular Penicillin, International Journal of Nursing Practice 2014; 20: 468474. IM injections usually cause some degree of pain at the injection site. Kara D., Gne . Y., The effect on pain of three different methods of intramuscular injection: A randomized controlled trial, International Journal
of Nursing Practice 2014. Patients are often afraid of receiving injections because they perceive that it will be painful.

Nursing and Midwifery Research Journal, Vol-7, No. 3, July 2011 Workman B. Safe injection technique. Nursing Standard 1999; 13: 4753. Injection pain is related to the penetration of the skin by the needle and to the mechanical and chemical effects of the drug during and after its injection.*

Over the years, clinicians have tried to explore various methods to reduce pain, including the pain of injections. Kara D., Gne . Y., The effect on pain of three different methods of intramuscular injection: A randomized controlled trial, International Journal of Nursing Practice 2014. In the literature, there are a number of studies that investigate the reduction of pain in IM injections. (sunumda grnmeyecek) These studies have examined
the effect of different factors and interventions, such as cold, manual pressure, acupressure, needle temperature, two-needle technique, injection speed, patient positioning and the Z-track technique.

Effect On Pain Of Changing The Needle Prior To Administering Medicine Intramuscularly: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Advanced Nursing, 67(3), 563568 Another method Buzzy device with cold pack and vibration is used for time reduction of IM injection. (sunumda grnmeyecek) In the literature there are few studies related to the usage of Buzzy device for reducing the pain of IM injection and there isnt any study for the adult about it yet. How is the buzzys mechanizm?
There is a cold pack on the part of the device where it contacts the skin. It works with batteries and conducts cold application and vibration on the area. The on/ off button at the top , cold pack at the back and the vibration is below of device. Buzzy device (cold and vibration) is one of the nonpharmacologic methods used and acts through local skin desensitisation according to gate- control theory.

Buzzy which combination of cold and high frequency vibration is between brain and pain, and the pain is blocked out.

TIME AND PLACE OF RESEARCH This research was carried out in Physical Therapy Service of 75th Year Milas State Hospital in Turkey between 12 November 2012 and 11 January 2013. 16 Patients were chosen; Who havent injections in recent week,
Who have no injection site abscess, haematoma, necrosis, 17 who have no problem of seeing and hearing, who were between 25 and 85 years of age and
who could understand the visual analog scale (VAS) RANDOMZATON 20 The patients randomized according to age and sex by drawing lots. The patients who received research rules Famale

Obese patients reported increased pain intensity compared with normal and overweight patients in control group. There was no statistically significant difference injection satisfaction score in BMI between application and control group. CONSEQUENTLY; it was determined that Buzzy device was an effective method in
decreasing injection pain and in improving postinjection satisfaction. In the literature; It has been learnt that the studies with Buzzy are also applied at IM injection, vaccination and venipuncture on the children.

All the studies with Buzzy (different sample and method) confirm our study.
RECOMMENDATIONS Buzzy should be used for reduce IM injection pain by nurses , It should be compared another methods which reduce IM injection pain In order to improve the development of evidencebased on different age group should be research. THANKS
