Abstract:
Objective:To investigate outpatients with central venous catheters regarding their awareness and needs for internet-based nursing clinics for venous catheter maintenance, and to provide reference for the development of internet-based catheter care services.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to recruit 280 patients with central venous catheters who visited the Outpatient Catheter Maintenance Room of Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, between November and December 2024. A self-designed questionnaire on awareness and needs regarding catheter venous catheters in internet-based nursing clinics was used to conduct the survey.Results:A total of 280 questionnaires were distributed and 271 valid questionnaires were recovered, yielding an effective response rate of 96.79%. Regarding awareness, 47.97% (130/271) of the patients were aware of internet-based catheter maintenance services, and 80.81% (219/271) expressed willingness to try them. Regarding outpatient demand, 62.73% (170/271) preferred video consultations and 20.66% (56/271) preferred online text-based consultations. A total of 55.35% (150/271) of patients hoped for 24-hour access to consultation services, and 49.45% (134/271) were very willing to pay additional service fees. In terms of service content, 86.72% (235/271) hoped for more convenient home-visit services, 91.14% (247/271) expected assistance with expert appointment booking, and 95.94% (260/271) wanted medication delivery services related to catheter maintenance. Regarding education and support, 83.76% (227/271) hoped to gain knowledge about disease prevention and management, and 73.80% (200/271) desired guidance on healthy lifestyle practices.Conclusions:Outpatients with central venous catheters have relatively low awareness of internet-based nursing clinics for venous catheter maintenance, but show high levels of service demand. They also express expectations for expanded service content and formats. Hospital administrators should gradually improve the service system based on patients' needs and enhance educational initiatives to improve patient awareness, ultimately delivering more timely, high-quality, and efficient nursing services.
