In the study reported in this article, the researchers attempted to raise awareness among practitioners of the importance of intramuscular drug administration technique in reducing injection site complications following antipsychotic depot injections. They also aimed to improve and expand the scope of present practice by comparing the effect of two accepted techniques, the 'air bubble' and 'Z-track' on these complications, and demonstrate that the air bubbles technique is more effective in reducing seepage and causes less discomfort. A 'within subjects' design was used, and Likert scales for scoring subjective and objective assessment of complications were established and scored at each injection. The study showed that there was no significant difference between the effects of either technique.
在本文所报道的研究中，研究人员试图提高从业者对肌内注射给药技术在减少抗精神病长效注射后注射部位并发症方面重要性的认识。他们还旨在通过比较两种公认技术——“气泡”技术和“Z形轨迹”技术对这些并发症的影响，来改进和扩大当前的实践范围，并证明气泡技术在减少渗漏方面更有效且引起的不适更少。采用了“受试者内”设计，并建立了用于对并发症进行主观和客观评估评分的李克特量表，且在每次注射时进行评分。研究表明，两种技术的效果之间没有显著差异。
