“…Further teaching is warranted on students' knowledge of the flushing technique and the order of blood draw, as under 40% of students answered these questions as per recommended guidelines 3. The findings of this study are reflective of other studies carried out that noted the knowledge levels of students are low or inadequate 2,16,17…”

“…3 The findings of this study are reflective of other studies carried out that noted the knowledge levels of students are low or inadequate. 2,16,17 Training programs should include strategies to support the students in building their confidence. Students were noted to have negative attitudes (mean score <6.00) in their confidence in performing both skills, with even less confidence in performing them on the first attempt.…”

Peripheral intravenous cannulation and venipuncture are among the most common invasive procedures in health care and are not without risks or complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the current training provided to nursing and midwifery undergraduate students. Student knowledge, attitude, practice, and performance regarding these procedural skills were assessed. A knowledge, attitude, and practices survey was disseminated to final year nursing and midwifery students as the first phase of this study. For the second phase of the study, nursing students were video recorded and then observed performing the skill of peripheral intravenous cannulation in a simulated environment. Thirty-eight nursing and midwifery students completed the survey, and 66 nursing students participated in the observation study. Descriptive statistics were performed. The mean knowledge score was 7.2 out of 15.0, (standard deviation [SD] = 2.4), and the mean attitude score was 10.20 out of 18.00 (SD = 4.79). Qualitative data from the survey were categorized to demonstrate specific areas of focus for improving the training. The mean performance score was 16.20 out of 28.00 (SD = 2.98). This study provides valuable input to developing and enhancing evidence-based curricula. It can help educators and supervisors, in both academic and clinical settings, identify areas where clinical performance and education could be enhanced.

“…With respect to other products and the non-reporting in this study of their phytotherapeutic use, this may be due to the context of the study (13) since in Spain these products are not approved by state agencies such as the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS by its initials in Spanish). Likewise, the experts consulted in this study did not report the use of drugs such as organic heparinoids and heparins, which have been included in various studies (42)(43)(44)(45)(46), or ichthammol glycerin (42)(43)(44), although they have been shown to decrease the degree of phlebitis (6).…”

“…Monitoring the insertion point is an indispensable element for the control of phlebitis as this is where the rst visible sign of phlebitis often appears (9,47), while the use of a dressing favours better xation of the catheter (47)(48)(49). It should be noted that the INS guidelines published in 2021 (10) maintain the use of transparent and gauze dressings, although the literature (13,50,51) highlights the preference of professionals and nursing students for transparent dressings. These undoubtedly allow better visualisation of the point of insertion of the PVC.…”

“…No consensus exists as to the optimal management of PVC-related phlebitis at the clinical level, although several therapies have been proposed in the literature, including topical and systemic treatments (5,6,(11)(12)(13)(14). The INS (10) recommends applying warm compresses, elevating the limb, providing analgesics or carrying out pharmacological interventions such as administering anti-in ammatory agents.…”

Background: The nursing professional is ultimately responsible for the care and management of peripheral venous catheters (PVCs) and, therefore, all related complications, with phlebitis being one of the most frequent from an epidemiological perspective. The present study determined the consensus with respect to and the importance of actions for the assessment, treatment and follow-up of phlebitis secondary to peripheral venous catheterization in expert hospital care nurses at national level in Spain. Methods: Three-round Delphi technique. An online questionnaire with three open-ended questions based on the dimensions of phlebitis assessment, treatment and follow-up was used. For the statistical analysis of the results, frequencies and percentages were used to determine consensus, and measures of central tendency (mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation) to assess importance. The coefficient of variation was set as acceptable at ≤30%. Results: The final sample was 27 expert nurses. At the conclusion of round 3, activities were prioritised according to their importance, with six items included in PVC-related phlebitis assessment (symptomatology/observation, redness, Maddox scale, induration, temperature and pain), two in treatment (catheter removal, Thrombocid® + application of cold) and just one in follow-up (general monitoring + temperature control). Conclusions: There is a great disparity in relation to PVC-related phlebitis assessment, treatment and follow-up actions. More clinical studies are therefore needed to minimise the complications associated with the use of PVCs, given their impact on quality of care, patient safety and economic cost. Relevance to clinical practice: Importance of national expert consensus to promote further studies that can contribute to evidence-based practice in the management of PVC-related phlebitis.
