Brief Summary

The administration of intravenous fluids plays a crucial role in critically ill patients to support optimal management and ensure patient safety. Knowledge and conceptual frameworks will influence a clinician's accuracy in providing intravenous fluid therapy to patients. Accurate administration of fluid therapy to patients will reduce unwanted side effects and decrease the overall treatment costs during hospitalization. Various considerations in administering intravenous fluid therapy are influenced by a clinician's level of knowledge. In Indonesia, doctors working in hospitals may have different levels of education and professional status. However, it is currently unclear whether these professional differences among doctors influence their knowledge in administering fluids to patients.

Knowledge Level; Intravenous Fluid Therapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Questionnaire regarding Physician Knowledge Level of Intravenous fluid therapy

  Intravenous Fluid Therapy knowledge Scoring The principle for scoring these scales is the same in all cases: 1. Estimate the average of the items that contribute to the scale; this is the raw score. Calculating the raw score=(I1+I2+I3+…+In)/n. 2. Use a linear transformation to standardize the raw score, so that scores range from 0 to 100; a higher score represents a higher ("better") level of knowledge. Formula use for standardization: Knowledge Score = {1-(Raw score-1)/range} X100 The maximum score is 100 (better outcome) The minimum score is 0 (worse outcome) All the information related to intravenous fluid therapy is divided into five domains: (1) basic knowledge about electrolyte fluids, (2) intravenous fluid administration, (3) intravenous fluid composition, (4) fluid resuscitation, and (5) assessment of fluid volume status.

Interventions

Questionnaire OTHER

This questionnaire consists of (five) main parts. The first part is about personal information, the second part is about fluid administration in various settings (emergency room, operating room, and intensive care unit), the third part is about fluid administration behaviors, the fourth part is about workplace location, and the fifth part is about a case study. Filling out this questionnaire will take approximately 60 minutes of your time.
