Özet

This study was aimed to determine nurses' knowledge levels regarding ventrogluteal (VG) area injection. This descriptive and cross-sectional study involved 121 nurses in Türkiye between December 2018 and March 2019. The nurses' descriptive characteristics form and the knowledge suggestions form were completed. Statistical analyzes included the Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test, and Spearman correlation. It was found that 61.2% of the nurses received training for the VG area, most nurses (69.4%) never injected the VG area, and 59.5% of those who applied it only once a week. The correct mean of nurses' information suggestions regarding VG area injection was 6.76±3.92. There was a statistically significant difference between the knowledge levels of those over the age of 40 (Mean Rank=45.97) and those under the age of 30 (Mean Rank=70.73) (P=0.022). It was found that the knowledge level of nurses who received training on VG injection, applied VG injection in the department where they worked, and who applied VG injection at least once a week were higher than the others (P
