Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the knowledge and practice of intravenous therapy by pediatric nurses in a province, and analyze the factors influencing the knowledge level of pediatric nurses.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to organize 695 pediatric nurses participated in the academic conference on intravenous therapy safety in a province in May 2019. The self-designed Nursing Practice Standards for Intravenous Therapy Knowledge and Practice Questionnaire was used to investigate. A total of 698 questionnaires were collected including 695 valid questionnaires. Results:Among 695 pediatric nurses, the score of knowledge of intravenous therapy was (51.74±12.90) . There were statistical differences in the score of knowledge of intravenous therapy among pediatric nurses with different education levels, professional titles, positions, ages and working years ( P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the professional title and position were influencing factors of intravenous therapy knowledge of pediatric nurses in a province ( P<0.05) . The practice standard for intravenous therapy was generally good, but there were still cases of poor education and communication, accounting for 1.73% (12/695) and 2.30% (16/695) respectively. Conclusions:Pediatric nurses in a province lack knowledge of intravenous therapy and are affected by multiple factors. Nursing managers should regularly carry out relevant training for pediatric nurses, especially nurses with low seniority and low professional title. The training should focus on the safety of nursing staff, the assessment of patients' blood vessels and the protection of puncture sites, in order to improve the knowledge of pediatric nursing staff in intravenous therapy.
