Abstract:
Objective:To understand the real feelings of oncology nurses in using arm port, so as to provide basis for taking targeted intervention measures to reduce the problems in the process of nurses using arm port and continuously improve the quality of intravenous therapy.Methods:Using the purposive sampling method, a total of 13 nurses from Oncology Department of Beijing Hospital were selected for in-depth interviews from October to November 2023, and the data were analyzed using Colaizzi's 7-step analysis method.Results:Three themes were extracted, including positive experiences (high sense of security and benefit), growth and reflection and negative experiences (concerns about unknown risks, tension and stress) .Conclusions:As a relatively safe route of administration, arm port is worthy of further promotion and application.
