Because of the necessities of modern medicine, catheters are frequently used for patients today. Mistakes made in catheter implementation frequently cause nosocomial infections.
The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to be used for the evaluation of nurses' knowledge and attitudes about peripheral and central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection prevention.
This methodological study was conducted between July 2016 and December 2017, with 150 nurses who worked in intensive care units and surgical, internal and paediatric clinics in hospitals located in two different cities in the eastern part of Turkey and who consented to participate in the study.
Item total correlation values of the scale ranged between 0.515 and 0.703. Correlation coefficient between the two measurements as a result of the test-retest reliability was found to be 0.64, and there was a linear relationship between the measurements. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value was found to be0.875, which indicates the adequacy of the sample. Barlett's test results indicated a correlation between the items (P < .01). Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was found to be 0.86.
Results showed that the 5-point Likert scale was formed with 14 items and two factors, which included "general precautions" and "catheter care." Scale total score is obtained by collecting all the items. Higher scores indicate higher knowledge and attitudes. This scale could be used for assessing the knowledge and attitudes of nurses about peripheral and central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection prevention precautions.
The Peripheral and Central Venous Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection Prevention Knowledge and Attitudes Scale could be used for infection prevention in the assessment of the knowledge and attitudes of nurses with a view of preventing infections. The scale can be used in intensive care units and surgical, internal and paediatric clinics in order to assess nurses' knowledge and attitudes.
由于现代医学的需要，导管在今天经常被用于患者。导管实施中的失误经常导致医院感染。
本研究的目的是开发一种用于评估护士对预防外周和中心静脉导管相关血流感染知识和态度的量表。
这项方法学研究于 2016 年 7 月至 2017 年 12 月在土耳其东部两个不同城市的医院重症监护病房和外科、内科和儿科诊所进行，共有 150 名同意参与研究的护士参加。
量表的项目总分相关值在 0.515 到 0.703 之间。两次测试的重测信度相关系数为 0.64，并且测量之间存在线性关系。Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin（KMO）值为 0.875，表明样本充足。巴雷特检验结果表明项目之间存在相关性（P<0.01）。量表的克朗巴赫α值为 0.86。
结果表明，该量表由 14 个项目和两个因素组成，包括“一般预防措施”和“导管护理”。通过收集所有项目获得量表总分。得分越高表示知识和态度越高。该量表可用于评估护士对外周和中心静脉导管相关血流感染预防措施的知识和态度。
外周和中心静脉导管相关血流感染预防知识和态度量表可用于评估护士在预防感染方面的知识和态度。该量表可用于重症监护病房和外科、内科和儿科诊所，以评估护士的知识和态度。
