The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using the \u201cZ-trajectory\u201d and \u201cair lock\u201d techniques in reducing pain levels and medication leakage in newborns receiving intramuscular injections. The results showed that these two techniques are highly effective non-pharmacological methods that can be used to reduce pain and drug leakage associated with vitamin K injections and hepatitis B vaccinations in this sensitive age group.<\/p>\n
Based on the tangible results, the study recommended that the Z-trajectory and air lock techniques be incorporated as an essential part of standard intramuscular injection procedures in neonatal units. This application would greatly contribute to improving the healthcare experience for newborns by reducing their pain and medication leakage, thereby enhancing their comfort and safety. It was awarded an \u201cexcellent\u201d rating.<\/p>\n
This research contributes to a key goal of this objective, which is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. It also reflects the importance of scientific research in developing sustainable healthcare practices that benefit society as a whole.This pioneering study is directly aligned with the third Sustainable Development Goal, \u201cGood Health and Well-being.\u201d By focusing on improving the quality of healthcare for newborns and reducing their pain and suffering.<\/p>\n
