Injection administration procedure
pain
The injections were randomly allocated to injection sides for one of two injection methods. The two different injection techniques applied included in the research are given below.

After each injection, another researcher, who had no prior knowledge of which injection technique was used, immediately assessed pain intensity and satisfaction using the VAS and the VISS and recorded them on the data collection form with the numerical value equivalent to the point which the patient had marked. While the study was being conducted, the necessary measures were taken to prevent the individuals from affecting each other, such as not allowing patients taking part in the study to see the method applied to other patients, and not including in the study at the same time patients who were staying in the same room.
