Objectives:
to construct and validate the content of a scale for assessing the risk of phlebitis in hospitalized adult patients using peripheral intravenous therapy.
Methods:
a methodological study, developed according to DeVellis, in four stages, from January to July 2024. For content validity analysis, Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was calculated, including items that reached a critical point of 0.667 (first round) and 0.538 (second round).
Results:
the scale contained 95 items, including those with a value above the critical point of the CVR. Items that received suggestions from experts and also presented a CVR above the critical point were redacted and retained. A scale containing 28 items, distributed across three dimensions, was constructed.
Conclusions:
the scale showed good measures of content validity and response process. Since it was assessed as easy to understand, it became a useful tool for use in the care of patients undergoing peripheral intravenous catheter therapy.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
