Abstract

Introduction: Pain is one of the most common medical problems that nurses encounter with it in the clinical care field. Pain induces due to the different factors. The one of the Common causes of pain in the clinical situation are drug injection through subcutaneous injection. One of the most important nurses's duties is pain reduction of injection. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the TENS on the pain intensity of the subcutaneous injection. Materials and Methods: This study performed on sixty admitted patients in CCU ward in Semnan fatemieh hospital. These patients received subcutaneous injection of heparin. In this study, the pain intensity of the subcutaneous injection was evaluated in three states; without using TENS, using TENS, and using TENS PLACEBO. Pain intensity was evaluated by the visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain. Results: The data show that there was a significant difference (P<0.05) between patients' pain intensity in two subcutaneous injection states; without using TENS and using TENS, so that pain intensity has been less in subcutaneous injection state using TENS. There was also a significant difference (P<0.05) between patient's pain intensity in two subcutaneous injection states; using TENS and using TENS PLACEBO, so that pain intensity has been less in subcutaneous injection state using TENS. But there were not any significant difference between patient's pain intensity in two subcutaneous injection states; using TENS PLACEBO and without using TENS. Conclusion: The study suggests that patients feel less pain in subcutaneous injection state using TENS than other states; therefore TENS has been effective on the pain intensity of the subcutaneous injection. Thus it can be suggested that TENS as an effective method to reduce the pain in subcutaneous injection.
