Brief Summary

The study title is "A Study to evaluate the Effectiveness of a Pictorial Flashcard regarding Self-Care of Peripheral Intravenous Cannula (PIVC) on its indwelling time and related complications among inpatients at ILBS, New Delhi." and it aim to evaluate the Effectiveness of a Pictorial Flashcard regarding Self-Care of PIVC on its indwelling time and related complications among inpatients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Effectiveness of Pictorial Flashcard on Indwelling time of Peripheral Intravenous Cannula (PIVC) among inpatients.

  Effectiveness refers to the significant increase in indwelling time of PIVC and reduction in PIVC related complication after using pictorial flash card on self-care of PIVC which calculated in hours i.e. 72 hours. Indwelling time refers to the time duration i.e. 72 hours between insertion and removal of PIVC.

  72 hours

• Adverse events (complications related to PIVC) in both groups.

  Adverse events or complications related to PIVC refers to complications, such as Phlebitis, Infiltration, Pain,Blockage and Dislodgement which occurs on PIVC site during the indwelling time of PIVC i.e. within or till 72 hours.

Pictorial flashcard

EXPERIMENTAL

In the experimental group researcher explained self-care of PIVC using pictorial flashcard on one to one basis. Patients were explained Do's and Don'ts, they have to keep in mind during self-care. Doubts of the patients were also addressed simultaneously. After this a copy of pictorial flashcard was given to the subjects to be used in future (during PIVC in-situ). Time was noted and kept for observation till 72 hours or removal in between.

Behavioral: Teaching subjects regarding self-care of PIVC with Pictorial Flashcard.

Comparison Group

NO INTERVENTION

In control group, standard care was given as per the hospital protocol.Time was noted and kept for observation till 72 hours or removal in between.

Interventions

Teaching subjects regarding self-care of PIVC with Pictorial Flashcard. BEHAVIORAL

In the experimental group researcher explained self-care of PIVC using pictorial flashcard on one to one basis. Patients were explained Do's and Don'ts, they have to keep in mind during self-care or management. Doubts of the patients were also addressed simultaneously. After this a copy of pictorial flashcard was given to the subjects to be used in future (during PIVC in-situ). In control group, standard care was given as per the hospital protocol. After 24 hours/one day, PIVC was observed for presence of any complications such as Phlebitis, Infiltration, Pain, Blockage and Dislodgement using V.I.P. Score, Infusion nurses society infiltration scale, Universal pain assessment tool and PIVC Documentation Tool and need for PIVC removal was also assessed. After 72 hours PIVC removed (whatever applicable) site of PIVC was reassessed, reason for removal was recorded and indwelling time was noted.
