Nurses often administer intramuscular (IM) injections. However, they do not use the ventrogluteal (VG) site, although it is highly recommended.
This study investigated whether a mobile-assisted training and counseling program (intervention) encouraged nurses to use the VG site to administer IM injections.
This study adopted a pretest-posttest interventional design with no control group and employed a mixed research design. The sample consisted of 105 nurses from a public hospital in a metropolitan city in Turkey. Quantitative data were collected using a descriptive characteristics form and a Ventrogluteal Site Information Form (VSIF). Qualitative data were collected using a semi-structured interview form. First, participants took a pretest and then watched an animation about VG injections on their mobile devices. Afterward, they were provided with counseling and then administered a posttest. Sixteen participants were interviewed after the posttest.
Participants had a significantly higher mean posttest VSIF score (17.50 + 3.23) than the pretest score (12.73 + 5.40) (p < 0.05). They stated that the intervention helped them reinforce what they already knew and encouraged them to use the VG site to administer IM injections. They also noted that it boosted their confidence and helped them experience less anxiety.
The results showed that the intervention helped participants learn more about IM injections into the VG site. Therefore, hospitals should provide nurses with mobile-assisted training and counseling programs to encourage them to use the VG site to administer IM injections.
护士经常进行肌内注射。然而，尽管强烈推荐使用臀中肌（VG）注射部位，但他们却不常使用。
本研究调查了移动辅助培训与咨询项目（干预措施）是否能鼓励护士使用VG部位进行肌内注射。
本研究采用无前测对照组的前测-后测干预设计，并采用混合研究设计。样本包括来自土耳其一个大都市公立医院的105名护士。定量数据通过描述性特征表和臀中肌注射部位信息表（VSIF）收集。定性数据通过半结构化访谈表收集。首先，参与者进行前测，然后在移动设备上观看关于VG注射的动画。之后，为他们提供咨询，然后进行后测。后测后对16名参与者进行了访谈。
参与者后测VSIF的平均得分（17.50 + 3.23）显著高于前测得分（12.73 + 5.40）（p < 0.05）。他们表示，该干预措施帮助他们强化了已有的知识，并鼓励他们使用VG部位进行肌内注射。他们还指出，这增强了他们的信心，减轻了他们的焦虑。
结果表明，该干预措施帮助参与者更多地了解了VG部位的肌内注射。因此，医院应向护士提供移动辅助培训与咨询项目，以鼓励他们使用VG部位进行肌内注射。
