The instructional video is prepared in order to promote the skills in injections and own this thesis as a reference. By making the video available, which can be viewed anytime necessary, the goal was to support the teacher and the nursing students. The comprehensive thesis contains conceptual knowledge about injections, comprising the need for injections, the equipment and setup needed for the procedure, sites for injections, complications that may arise and patient guidance.
This is a thesis based on demonstration of administration of injections: Intramuscular, Subcutaneous, and Intradermal for the beginners nursing student of Centria University of Health Science. This video is applicable for English speaking nursing student, but Finnish students can also take it as a reference. It is very important to know about the different routes of administration of medications to patients like oral, injections, peripheral, rectal routes etc. The drugs administrating non-orally but injecting through different routes are defined as Parenteral drug administration. Nursing students should get familiar with the proper technique of administrating drugs, its indications, proper sites and possible complications before giving medication to patients. Proper site selection and effective administration techniques play a vital role in medicine absorption which are described in this thesis. It is unpleasant and painful for the patient, if the health care professional lacks adequate training, increases the chance to get infection if not done in aseptic techniques.
The educational video was created in coordination with the Centria UAS’ nursing teacher which is totally based on evidence-based articles, journals, papers and books. The video begins with the introduction of equipment needed for each injection, proper site selection, hand hygiene and injecting technique. Patient guidance and complications of injections are also mentioned in the video. The video will be handed over to nursing faculty of Centria University of Applied Science for further use as an educational purpose.
