Abstract
ABSTRACT
 Purpose: This study investigated whether a mobile learning program helped nurses give safer injections into the ventrogluteal site.
 Method: This interventional study was conducted between 20.08.2020 and 30.10.2020. The sample consisted of 34 nurses working at the adult units of a university hospital in a big city in Turkey. The study was approved by an ethics committee. Permission was obtained from the hospital. Informed consent was obtained from participants. Data were collected using a personal information form (pretest), the Ventrogluteal Area Knowledge Form (VAKF) (pretest and posttest), and the Training Effectiveness Evaluation Form (posttest). Participants watched an animation on their mobile phones for a week (intervention). The data were analyzed using the independent samples t-test and McNemar's test.
 Findings: Participants had a mean pretest and posttest VAKF score of 12.82±3.80 and 16.97±2.84, respectively (p<0.05). After the intervention, most participants said "yes" to the statement, “The ventrogluteal site includes the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles” (91.2%) (p<0.05).
 Conclusion: The intervention helped nurses develop the cognitive skills necessary to administer safe injections into the ventrogluteal site.
 Implications for Nursing Practice: Mobile learning methods help nurses learn how to administer safe injections into the ventrogluteal site
