Insights

A new questionnaire assesses pediatric nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding central venous device-related thrombosis prevention in hospitalized children. This validated tool aids in evaluating and improving preventive care strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nursing
  • Evidence-Based Practice
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Central venous device-related thrombosis (CVDT) is a significant risk for hospitalized children.
  • Pediatric nurses are crucial in preventing CVDT, but assessment tools for their knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) were lacking.
  • This study addresses the need for a standardized tool to evaluate pediatric nurses' KAP regarding CVDT prevention.

Approach:

  • Developed a questionnaire based on the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) theory.
  • Compiled an item pool through literature review and expert consultation.
  • Conducted a pre-survey with 457 pediatric nurses, followed by item analysis, reliability, and validity testing.

Key Points:

  • The final 54-item questionnaire covers knowledge, attitude, and practice dimensions.
  • Exploratory factor analysis revealed distinct factors within each dimension.
  • High content validity index (0.968-1.000) and Cronbach's alpha coefficients (0.926-0.973) indicate strong reliability and validity.
  • Retest reliability ranged from 0.688 to 0.898.

Conclusions:

  • The developed questionnaire demonstrates good reliability and validity.
  • It is suitable for assessing pediatric nurses' KAP in preventing central venous device-related thrombosis in hospitalized children.
  • This tool can inform targeted educational interventions and improve patient safety.

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...

Venous Thrombosis IV: Nursing Management

Nursing management begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's health history. Key factors include trauma to veins, peripherally inserted central catheters, varicose veins, recent pregnancy or childbirth, surgery, bacteremia, prolonged bed rest, atrial fibrillation, COPD, heart failure, cancer, coagulation disorders, myocardial infarction, spinal cord injury, stroke, prolonged travel, recent bone fractures, and dehydration. Review medication intake, particularly oral contraceptives,...

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Venous Thrombosis II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

The key difference between Superficial Vein Thrombosis (SVT) and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) lies in their location and severity.Clinical ManifestationsSVT typically presents with localized pain, tenderness, and redness along the course of a superficial vein, often accompanied by a palpable, cord-like structure under the skin. This condition is usually less dangerous than DVT but can be uncomfortable and may lead to complications such as cellulitis or, rarely, a clot extension into the deep...

Endocarditis IV: Nursing Management

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a chronic infection of the heart's endocardium, primarily affecting the heart valves. A detailed nursing assessment for a patient with IE involves collecting subjective and objective data to ensure an accurate diagnosis and timely intervention.Subjective DataThe nurse gathers information about the patient's symptoms and complaints during the subjective assessment. Patients with infective endocarditis often report non-specific symptoms that can mimic other...

Venous Thrombosis I: Introduction

Venous thrombosis, the most common disorder of the veins, involves the formation of a thrombus or blood clot associated with vein inflammation. It can be classified as either superficial vein thrombosis or deep vein thrombosis.Superficial Vein Thrombosis: This involves the formation of a thrombus in a superficial vein, usually the greater or lesser saphenous vein. Though less severe than deep vein thrombosis (DVT), SVT can lead to complications if untreated.Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): This...
