Abstract
Background: The use of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) is a crucial nursing practice for ensuring patient safety.
Purpose: This systematic review assessed quality improvement (QI) articles focused on nursing insertion and management practices related to PIVCs.
Methods: A comprehensive search was performed. The Quality Improvement Minimum Quality Criteria Set (QI-MQCS) was used to appraise the quality of QI studies by 2 independent reviewers.
Results: A total of 27 studies were included. More than half of the studies did not meet the sustainability and spread QI-MQCS criteria. QI interventions focused on ultrasound-guided PIVC placement, PIVC dressing products or other catheter devices, and bundles for PIVC practices. The improvements in PIVC-related patient outcomes and nurses' capabilities were reported.
Conclusion: Further research is needed to identify detailed QI protocols for ensuring the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of interventions and to facilitate the application of QI in diverse types of hospitals.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Nursing Care Quality (JNCQ) is a peer-reviewed journal that provides practicing nurses as well as nurses who have leadership roles in nursing care quality programs with useful information regarding the application of quality principles and concepts in the practice setting. The journal offers a forum for the scholarly discussion of “real world” implementation of quality activities.
