Hubungan Pengetahuan Perawat tentang Perawatan Terapi Intravena dengan Angka Kejadia Plebitis di Bangsal Bedah RSUD Prof. Dr. Margono Soekardjo Purwokerto
ABSTRACT: Intravenous therapy
is commonly used
to treat patients
and it is
received through a peripheral cannula by most
hospitalized patients. A consequence
of intravenous (IV)
devices is that risk of nosocomial
infection is increased,
particularly septicemia. Inflammation,
hard vein and thrombophlebitis, and
local tenderness are
common complication of
IV therapy . This
can lead to enhanced
morbidity and mortality
rates. Appropriate training
for nurses who
perform intravenous cannulation, which
include an understanding
of techniques and
the associated risks
involved will enhance the
safety of IV
therapy. Planning and
management of the
therapy are necessary
to minimize the risks presented.
Lundgren & Ek, (1996) point out that the limited collective
knowledge of nurses and the fact
that nurses have their
own routines. However,
knowledge can be developed and made more accessible through reflection
before, after, and while performing a task. The
purpose of the

evaluate the relationship
of nurses knowledge
