“… 29 and nursing students’ understanding of vascular catheters is not comprehensive enough. 30 , 31 Additionally, there are few opportunities for clinical interns to contact vascular catheters during clinical practice, and the teaching of prevention, treatment, and care of vascular catheter-related complications in clinical internships is also limited. 32 As a result, in order to enhance intern nursing students’ understanding of VCAIs prevention and treatment knowledge and improve their coping ability of VCAIs, it is recommended to appropriately increase vascular catheterization-related courses in future theoretical teaching, particularly the weak parts (prevention and management of complications); moreover, it is advised to increase the opportunities for intern nursing students to learn vascular catheterization throughout the entire nursing cycle of patient, 32 as well as to combine examples, videos, simulated nursing rounds, classroom lecture and other methods.…”

Background Medical personnel contact with the patient closely, and their knowledge of vascular catheter-associated infections (VCAIs) is closely related to the prevention of VCAIs. Researchers mainly pay attention to the VCAIs knowledge of doctors and nurses but rarely pay attention to the nursing students in the hospital internship stage. Purpose To investigate the current situation of knowledge of intern-nursing students in VCAIs, and analyze its influencing factors. Patients and Methods 843 intern-nursing students were selected from 10 hospitals in five regions of eastern, western, southern, northern, and central China from June 26 to July 31, 2023, using a two-stage random sampling method. A self-designed questionnaire with good reliability and validity was used to investigate their knowledge of VCAIs, and t -test, multiple linear regression analysis, and Welch t -test were used to analyze the collected data by using SPSS Statistics 26.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results Intern nursing students’ mean score of VCAIs knowledge was 48.66 (SD=15.77), with a score below 60 (unqualified) accounting for 75.4%, a score of 60–79 (qualified) accounting for 19.7%, a score of 80–89 (good) accounting for 3.6%, and a score of above 90 accounting for 1.3%. Students who attended VCAIs training three or more times had higher scores than those who did not attend training (B: 4.706, p=0.001), knowledge scores of students with a bachelor’s degree or above were higher than those with junior college degree or below (B: 8.479, p<0.001), students who interned in tertiary hospitals had higher scores than those practicing in secondary hospitals (B:12.381, p<0.001) and scores of students in hospital training were significantly higher than study independently (B:4.116, p=0.007). Conclusion Intern-nursing students have a relatively low level of knowledge about VCAIs. It is recommended to strengthen clinical systematic and standardized training, improve the knowledge mastery level of intern-nursing students, and enhance their ability to handle VCAIs.
