Abstract

Background: Difficult intravenous access is a condition that decreases the first-attempt success rate of intravenous catheterisation. It is important to evaluate patients with difficult vascular access using a standardised scale. This study was carried out to establish the Turkish validity and reliability of the 'Adult Difficult Intravenous Access Scale'.

Methods: The methodological descriptive study was carried out in the Adult Emergency Department. The research sample consisted of 100 patients over 18 years of age, who were conscious, whose condition was not critical or who did not require resuscitation. 'Case Report Form' and 'Adult Difficult Intravenous Access Scale' were used.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 57.54 ± 19.44 years, and 55% (n = 55) were female and 77% (n = 77) had a chronic disease. The factor loads of the scale items are between 0.366 and 0.852. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.708.

Conclusions: The Turkish version of the scale is a valid and reliable scale for determining the risk of difficult intravenous access. The practical use of this scale by healthcare professionals will enable earlier diagnosis of patients with difficult vascular access.

土耳其版成年患者静脉输液困难量表的有效性和可靠性。

背景：静脉通路困难会降低静脉导管插入术的首次成功率。使用标准化量表对血管通路困难的患者进行评估非常重要。本研究旨在确定 "成人静脉通路困难量表 "在土耳其的有效性和可靠性：方法：这项描述性研究在成人急诊科进行。研究样本包括 100 名 18 岁以上、神志清醒、病情不危重或不需要急救的患者。研究使用了 "病例报告表 "和 "成人静脉注射困难量表"：患者的平均年龄为（57.54 ± 19.44）岁，55%（n = 55）为女性，77%（n = 77）患有慢性疾病。量表项目的因子载荷介于 0.366 和 0.852 之间。克朗巴赫α系数为 0.708：土耳其版量表是一种有效、可靠的量表，可用于确定静脉通路困难的风险。医护人员实际使用该量表将能更早地诊断出血管通路困难的患者。
