How is the practice of nurses in preventing infection of central venous catheters in hospitalized patients?-Nurse knowledge and attitudes
Abstract
Central venous catheter (CVC) is an action that is often performed in treatment. There are several indications for the installation of a central venous catheter, ranging from measurement of central venous pressure (CVP), chemotherapy to parenteral nutrition. Central venous catheter wound care that is not carried out according to the procedure can cause various complications, one of which is infection. The incidence of sepsis due to central venous catheter placement is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for patients. All nurses are required to have good skills and attitudes in the practice of implementing central venous catheter wound care in accordance with the procedure. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of nurses regarding wound care to nurses practice in preventing wound infections in patients with central venous catheters. Methods: The design of this study was cross sectional using a descriptive correlational design. This research was conducted in July 2020. The number of samples involved in this study were 69 nurses with Diploma III educational qualifications in the inpatient ward of Dharmais Cancer Hospital. Data analysis using chi-square. Results: Bivariate analysis showed a value of p<0.05 for nurses knowledge and attitudes regarding central venous catheter wound care on nurse practice in preventing central venous catheter infection. Conclusion: there is a relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes of nurses in wound care to the practice of nurses in preventing wound infections in patients with central venous catheters in hospital inpatient rooms.
