The Effect of Vibration on Pain During Subcutaneous Heparin Injection

The device was used to provide vibration with the participants in this group. This device, designed as a combination of cold application and local vibration to reduce pain experienced during invasive procedures, is frequently chosen for all age groups.

The device was used with participants in this group. The device, at room temperature, was placed by the researcher 5cm proximal to the injection site before the injection was performed. With participants in this group, the device was placed on the procedure site, but no vibration was made. The device was held on the participants for one minute before the injection and throughout the procedure, with the vibration switched off.
