The aim of this study is to determine the knowledge levels of oncology nurses about peripheral and central venous catheter during their chemotherapy administration.
Data collection of this descriptive study was started on April 15, 2015-July 15, 2015. The data presented in this summary belong to 165 nurses. Data were collected with data collection form including questions related to sociodemographic qualifications and knowledge levels of nurses. Data collection forms were E-mailed to the members of Turkish Oncology Nursing Society. Data presented with numbers, percentages, and mean ± standard deviation.
The mean age of nurses was 33.60 ± 7.34 years and mean duration for oncology nursing experience was 2.65 ± 0.91 years. Nurses had correct information about the importance of selecting peripheral venous catheter and choosing the placement area for chemotherapy administration (63.6%), control of catheter before the administration (93.9%), influence of chemotherapeutic agent on length of catheter (40.6%), and management of extravasation (75.7%). Nurses also had correct information about the first use of port catheter (67.3%) and checking the catheter whether it is working properly or not (75.8%).
In General, nurses' level of knowledge related to catheter is 50% and higher. It is recommended to increase the knowledge of nurses about evidence-based information for catheter care as a step to safe chemotherapy practice.
本研究旨在确定肿瘤护理人员在化疗给药过程中对外周和中心静脉导管的知识水平。
这项描述性研究的数据收集于2015年4月15日至2015年7月15日开始。本摘要中呈现的数据属于165名护士。通过数据收集表收集数据，该表包括与护士的社会人口统计学资格和知识水平相关的问题。数据收集表通过电子邮件发送给土耳其肿瘤护理协会的成员。数据以数字、百分比和均值±标准差的形式呈现。
护士的平均年龄为33.60±7.34岁，肿瘤护理经验的平均时长为2.65±0.91年。护士对选择外周静脉导管的重要性、选择化疗给药的置管部位（63.6%）、给药前导管的检查（93.9%）、化疗药物对导管长度的影响（40.6%）以及外渗的处理（75.7%）有正确的认识。护士对首次使用植入式静脉输液港导管（67.3%）以及检查导管是否正常工作（75.8%）也有正确的认识。
总体而言，护士与导管相关的知识水平达到50%及以上。建议增加护士关于导管护理循证信息的知识，作为安全化疗实践的一步。
