Abstract:

Injection administration is one of the most widely practiced clinical nursing techniques. Research outcomes regarding Nurse Liang Jielian’s painless injection technique were published in China from 1954 to 1957. This paper systematically reviews the evolution and core technical points of the painless injection method pioneered by Liang Jielian. By comparing the core operational essentials of the method with relevant contents in domestic and international nursing books,it verifies that its key operational points remain applicable to this day. The process through which Nurse Liang Jielian developed the painless injection method reflects innovative logic centered on patients’ needs and grounded in clinical practice. It can serve as a reference for enhancing Chinese nurses’ innovative confidence and innovation competency.
