Abstract

The present study was undertaken in Urban health post, Sellur, Madurai to evaluate the effectiveness of Helfer skin tap technique on pain during intramuscular injection among the infants undergoing immunization. True experimental-post test only design was adopted for the study. Using simple random sampling technique 60 infants were selected. Helfer skin tap technique was given to the experimental group. Consequently, the pain level was measured by FLACC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability) pain scale. The study concludes that experimental group experienced less pain than control group. Hence, the Helfer skin tap technique had effect on reducing the pain during Intramuscular injection.
