Abstract

ABSTRACT: The peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs )have become among the most common technologies employed in the intravenous therapy of neonates as they allow safe long-term intravascular access, comfort, and ease of transition to home therapy that contributed to the increased survival of those newborns. Aim: Assess the nurses’ knowledge and practices about peripherally inserted central catheter at neonatal intensive care units Method: Descriptive research was conducted on 45 neonatal nurses working at neonatal intensive care units affiliated to Mansoura University Children Hospital (MUCH). Peripherally inserted central catheter insertion questionnaire sheet and observational checklistwas used to collect data. Results:Most studied nurses had poor knowledge and the minority had average knowledge about PICC line care for neonates. Also, more than half of nurses had competent score regarding PICC line insertion and care.Conclusion: There was variation regrading neonatal nurses' knowledge and practices regarding PICC line insertion and care.Recommendation: A regular educational program about PICC line care should be consistent for neonatal nurse

新生儿重症监护病房护士外周置管的知识和实践评估

摘要:外周插入中心导管(PICCs)已成为新生儿静脉注射治疗中最常用的技术之一，因为它们允许安全的长期血管内通道，舒适，易于过渡到家庭治疗，有助于提高新生儿的存活率。目的:评估新生儿重症监护病房护士对中心导管置入知识和操作的了解情况。方法:对曼苏拉大学儿童医院新生儿重症监护病房45名新生儿护士进行描述性研究。采用外周置管中心置管问卷和观察性检查表收集数据。结果:大多数受访护士对新生儿PICC线护理知识的了解程度较低，少数护士对新生儿PICC线护理知识的了解程度一般。此外，超过一半的护士在PICC线插入和护理方面得分合格。结论:新生儿护士对PICC线插入和护理的知识和实践存在差异。建议:对于新生儿护士来说，PICC线护理的常规教育计划应该是一致的
