Conclusion
cough, pain
The results of the current study found that the medium intensity cough technique applied to patients during the administration of a subcutaneous LMWH injection reduced the severity of the patients’ pain and increased the level of satisfaction which they felt with the injection. Also, it was found that the variable of gender affected pain severity relating to the injection, but did not affect the level of individual satisfaction. In addition, it was found that there was no correlation between the variable of BMI and the severity of pain and level of satisfaction.
