Objective
To investigate the status of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of Standard Practice for Intravenous Nursing among nurses.
Methods
A total of 140 nurses were recruited and investigated with a self-designed questionnaire on March 16th, 2016.
Results
A total of 140 questionnaires were collected and 137 valid questionnaires were finally analyzed. Nurses’ KAP scores of Standard Practice for Intravenous Nursing were good. Hospital level, hospital characteristics, position and whether the nurses were specialized in intravenous nursing were influencing factors of the scores (P<0.05).
Conclusions
The general situation of KAP of Standard Practice for Intravenous Nursing is good, but nurses' knowledge on intravenous treatment is rather weak. Nurses should pay more attention to the knowledge of Standard Practice for Intravenous Nursing. Targeted education should be provided for nurses to promote the formation of positive attitude and healthy behaviors of clinical intravenous nursing practice.
