Introduction
It is necessary to know the rate of phlebitis associated with its use and the risk factors associated with peripheral vascular catheter management that directly influence the presence of phlebitis.
Methodology
observational descriptive study, carried out after the implementation of the Zero Phlebitis Project in a large-capacity (>1,000 beds) urban tertiary hospital of reference in Navarra. The implementation of the Zero Phlebitis Project was carried out progressively, incorporating 4 units (2 medical and 2 surgical) per year, ending in February 2023. Subsequently, data collection for the present study began in May 2023.
Results
687 catheters were included, 48.3% (332) catheters were implanted in men versus 51.7% (355) in women with a mean age of 68 (SD 18.64). A phlebitis rate of 11.93% was detected, with catheter caliber and insertion site factors being directly related to the presence of phlebitis.
Conclusions
The presence of phlebitis is marked by both modifiable factors, being recommended the use of small caliber devices and the forearm area the indicated ones to decrease the rate of phlebitis.

The use of vascular access devices (VADs) is highly prevalent in patients in the hospital and out-of-hospital settings. Short peripheral venous catheters are the most common used devices. Use of DAVs is not without complications. The literature includes several studies on the prevalence and characteristics of VADs (location, device, fixation, etc.) in hospitalized patients, but few studies have assessed whether the status of this vascular access met the quality standard or not. Quality standards in this care can be obtained by evaluating compliance with the variables that define the adequate care and maintenance of vascular access through observation and daily monitoring of its condition and possible complications. The role of the nurse in this care is fundamental. Evaluating the management and maintenance of VADs to improve the quality of care and patient safety through training and monitoring of good practices for nursing professionals is the objective of the initiative of the nursing research group INCATIV® in the Valencian Community.
The implementation of this study has led to the evolution of the improvement of the results progressively. Ongoing training and monitoring significantly improve the quality and safety of VAD care. The success of the INCATIV® initiative in adult and paediatric populations underscores the importance of standardized practices and the critical role of nurses in the management of VADs.

Objective
To evaluate anxiety and pain induced by venipuncture and its statistical association with sociodemographic variables and history of previous venipuncture in the adult population.
Method
An observational, cross-sectional, quantitative and analytical study was conducted. A questionnaire was used to collect data on sociodemographic variables and variables related to pain and anxiety induced by venipuncture in the adult population attending a Mexican ambulatory care center. A descriptive and inferential analysis of the variables studied was performed using the IBM program SPSS®.
Results
A total of 2,157 adults participated, of whom 1,464 (67.9%) were men. The mean age (± standard deviation) of the participants was 34.9 (12.7) years. Of the total venipunctures, 1592 (73.8%) were painful and 1,206 (55.9%) were classified as distressing. Age, gender, history of previous venipuncture and venipuncture anxiety were statistically significant risk factors for venipuncture pain. On the other hand, age, venipuncture pain and history of previous venipuncture were risk factors for anxiety during venipuncture.
Conclusions
A high incidence of pain and anxiety due to venipuncture was found, as well as several factors that may increase it in the Mexican adult population. Healthcare professionals should consider pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to reduce venipuncture anxiety and pain, which would facilitate patient self-management and outpatient visits for therapeutic, diagnostic, preventive, or rehabilitative care as needed.

Aim
To evaluate the efficacy of 0.9% saline solution versus heparinized solution for maintaining the patency of intravascular catheters.
Method
Single-center, randomized, controlled, single-blind clinical trial. Population: patients with intravascular arterial and/or central venous catheters. Variables: age, sex, admission diagnosis, catheter type and location, duration of catheter placement, catheter functionality, reason for removal, antiplatelet treatment, Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), and International Normalized Ratio (INR) values. Data collection was carried out using an ad hoc questionnaire. SPSS v.26 software was used for statistical analysis, including descriptive analysis (median and IQR), Mann-Whitney U test, variable association (chi-square test), and logistic regression. A p-value <.05 was considered the indicator of a significant difference.
Results
Data were collected from 373 patients, of whom 68,4% were male. Heparin was administered to 202 patients (54,2%) and 0.9% saline to 171 patients (45,8%). A total of 595 catheters were analyzed: 221 (37,1%) arterial catheters, 229 (38,5%) centrally inserted central venous catheters, and 145 (24,4%) peripherally inserted central venous catheters. A total of 51 complications (8,6%) were detected, with a higher incidence in the heparin group (10,4% versus 6,3%). Among all complications, significant differences were observed by catheter type, with an incidence of 11,8% in arterial catheters, compared to 7,4% in centrally inserted central venous catheters and 5,5% in peripherally inserted central venous catheters.
Conclusions
No significant differences were observed in maintaining catheter patency between systems using heparinized pressurization and those using 0.9% saline solution.

Objective
To identify studies that assess the quality of life of people with a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC), a midline catheter (MC) and a peripheral insertion central catheter (PICC).
Method
Using a scoping review design we included studies that reported the quality of life of adult patients with the aforementioned vascular access devices. With a specific keyword search strategy performed in December 2023 we searched, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane, Scopus and ProQuest databases. There were no restrictions on the date of publication and studies in English, Spanish or Portuguese were included. Following our inclusion an exclusion criteria, extracted findings reported with the patterns, advances, gaps, evidence for practice and research framework.
Results
Of 6317 sources we included 151 papers for full text screening and included 21 studies for data extraction and interpretation. PICCs were the primary catheter reported in seven studies. All remaining studies included more than one device. The most frequently used questionnaire was European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (eight studies) followed by the Short Form Health Survey, the Karnofsky scale, Functional Living Index-Cancer questionnaire, Palliative Care Outcome Scale FACT-B questionnaire. In eight studies a researcher developed without validated questions were used alone or combined with other validated instruments.
Conclusion
There are no validated questionnaires measuring patient quality of life with specifically for three of the most commonly inserted vascular access devices used in healthcare to date. Opportunities exist to develop and validate a patient related and catheter device specific quality of life instrument.

Objective
This study explores final-year nursing students’ experiences with venepuncture and peripheral intravenous cannulation, focusing on both educational and clinical practice settings.
Methods
This study is qualitative descriptive design. Data were collected from three focus group sessions using a semi-structured interview approach. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, and data analysis was guided by Braun and Clarke's six-step model for thematic analysis.
Results
Eight final-year nursing students participated, with each student attending one focus group session. Data analysis resulted in four main themes 1) Practice, practice, practice 2) Not the way it's done here 3) Luck of the draw and 4) Experiential learning. The results highlight what hindered and helped students learn these skills in both the educational and clinical environment.
Conclusion
Improvements are recommended which can be made to the teaching of nursing students on these skills. The findings of this study can inform educational programmes which incorporate these types of skills.

Intravenous infusion is the principal way of providing systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) for the vast majority of malignant diseases with approximately one million infusions conducted worldwide each day. A recent scoping review discovered a significant deficit in the literature covering clinical aspects of vascular access device (VAD) selection, insertion, and, in particular, training and education. To answer some of these questions, we are conducting a quantitative survey throughout Europe to investigate healthcare professionals’ current practices surrounding vascular access devices used for systemic anti-cancer therapy.
Methods
This methods paper describes the actions that a research team studying vascular access took to carry out a comprehensive survey across Europe. The purpose of this paper is to share some reflections regarding the survey design. It also covers the steps involved in creating a high-quality questionnaire, the extent, quality, and impact of Public Patient Involvement (PPI) in survey design, the methodologies used to measure the questionnaire's face and content validity, and the experiences gained about stakeholder engagement and dissemination.
Conclusion
This paper summarizes some of the findings acquired from integrating and interacting with PPI during different stages of clinical research. It also provides practical tactics for managing a large global team of collaborators, as well as an explanation of the many methodologies used to increase the survey's validity and accuracy.

Venous catheters are the most common invasive devices used in hospitals. There are multiple complications associated with its use, such as phlebitis and bacteremia, with clinical variability in care and poor patient involvement in their own self-care being the main reasons that justify these complications.
Clinical apps, as innovation tools, can be a tool that helps professionals access reliable information for care and patients in their own self-care. CuidaVen® is an app designed specifically to improve adherence to best practices in the care of people with venous catheters, and to increase health education and involvement of patients in their own clinical safety and self-care. The implementation of CuidaVen® has led to an improvement in nurses’ adherence to good practices, a decrease in complications associated with the use of venous devices and an increase in patient knowledge through NOC indicators.
