The study is mainly concerned about the care and maintenance of peripheral intravenous cannulation: to determine the knowledge and practice of nurses towards care and maintenance of IV cannula and to find out the obstacles encountered in caring and maintaining IV cannula. Intravenous cannulation is a common procedure performed by nurses in every hospital and closely associated with the risk of nosocomial infections if standard care is not provided.
A descriptive cross-sectional study design was carried out.
Nurses' knowledge and practice towards care and maintenance of peripheral intravenous cannula were assessed using a validated semi-structured self-administered questionnaire through the census method. Data were analysed through SPSS program. The comparison was done between knowledge and practice.
The findings revealed that 84.72% respondents were doing correct practices despite the fact that only 82.47% respondents had proper knowledge. Most nurses have good knowledge of caring and maintaining peripheral intravenous cannulation but there were some without proper knowledge and practice. This could be a potential risk factor for patient safety.
本研究主要关注外周静脉置管的护理与维护:确定护士在外周静脉置管护理与维护方面的知识和实践情况,并找出在护理和维护静脉置管过程中遇到的障碍。静脉置管是每家医院护士都会进行的常见操作,如果不提供标准护理,会与医院感染风险密切相关。
采用描述性横断面研究设计。
通过普查法,使用经过验证的半结构化自填式问卷对外周静脉置管护理与维护方面护士的知识和实践情况进行评估。数据通过SPSS程序进行分析。对知识和实践情况进行了比较。
研究结果显示,尽管只有82.47%的受访者有适当的知识,但84.72%的受访者操作正确。大多数护士对外周静脉置管的护理和维护有良好的知识,但也有一些护士知识和实践不足。这可能是影响患者安全的一个潜在风险因素。
