Background: Subcutaneous heparin injections sometimes cause pain, ecchymosis, and hematoma. The prevalence of complications depends on the injection site, technique, and drug absorption. This study investigated the effect of two types of subcutaneous heparin injections on pain, ecchymosis, and hematoma as well as drug absorption rates.

Aim: This study investigated whether a mobile-assisted training and counseling program (intervention) encouraged nurses to use the VG site to administer IM injections.
Background: The care of patient individuals in the good death process should be planned based on nursing values. The aim of the study is to determine nurses' perceptions of a good death and its relationship with nursing values.
Methods: The study is descriptive and cross-sectional and was completed with 210 nurses.
Introduction: The violence nursing students experience in the clinic may affect their attitudes towards the profession.
Aim: This study was conducted to determine nursing students' exposure to violence during their clinical practice and their violence management competence levels.
Design: This was a two-centred, descriptive, and correlational study.

Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Aim: This study investigated the effect of flipped learning on first-year nursing students' blood pressure knowledge levels and self-directed learning skills.
Background: Flipped learning is an innovative approach that helps nursing students learn about blood pressure and how to measure how to measure blood pressure accurately. Flipped learning also promotes active and student-centered learning settings and encourages nursing students to develop self-directed skills.
Background: A game-based virtual reality phone application is used as a simulation to teach psychomotor skills in nursing education.
Objective: This study aims at determining the effect of a game-based virtual reality phone application on tracheostomy care education for nursing students.
Design: Single-blind randomized controlled trial conducted from March-April 2017.
Aims And Objectives: To characterise the effects of local heat application on the ease of subsequent intravenous catheter insertion.
Background: Intravenous catheter insertion is a challenging procedure for both nurses and chemotherapy patients. The local application of heat to the area before intravenous catheter insertion may decrease these difficulties by increasing venous distension and visibility.
