Abstract
Intra-muscular injection is a widely used technique for administering parenteral medication, so education about correct techniques of administering intra-muscular injections is important to prevent complications associated with intra-muscular injection. To assess the knowledge level of nursing students regarding administering intra-muscular injection and to determine if knowledge level change after joining an educational session about administering intra-muscular injection. This study used pretest and posttest control group designs. Regular class in which a pretest and an educational session was conducted followed by a posttest after 2weeks. Nursing students of Al-Balqa'a Applied University/Zarqa University College participated in this study. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaire. Experimental group did not do better in the posttest than the control group after they joined an educational session about administering intra-muscular injection. The level of students (first year vs. second year) has been identified as a covariate that may have distorted the results. One educational session is insufficient to change level of knowledge regarding administering intra-muscular injection, in addition to considering the level of nursing students when conducting the educational session, as well as the follow up and feedback during administering intra-muscular injection at clinical sites.
