Abstract
Introduction. Pain is one of the most common medical problems that nurses encounter with it in the clinical care field. Pain ind uces due to the differe nt factors. T he one of th e common cause s of pai n in the clinical situ ation is drug injection through subcuta neo us injection. One of the most important nurses 's duties is pai n reduction of injection.
