Abstract

Background: Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) care in Australia remains suboptimal and continues to cause harm. Gaps in local policy, variation in clinician training and competing clinical priorities all continue to lead to poor PIVC practices and associated complications.

Methods: A priority setting study was undertaken with the aim of identifying infection prevention and control priorities for PIVC care and key actionable strategies that would facilitate effective improvements in PIVC practices.

Results: Sixty-five multidisciplinary clinicians participated in the study. Nine priority themes were identified with key actionable strategies including greater consumer engagement, development of standardised and evidence-informed resources, and strong national leadership for PIVC care improvement.

Conclusion: This study provides valuable knowledge from clinicians with an in-depth understanding of the clinical factors contributing to poor PIVC practices. Efforts to improve these practices and address the key themes identified will depend on strong leadership and a coordinated approach across the system.

感染预防和控制的重点，以改善周围静脉导管护理-制定国家优先议程。

背景：外周静脉导管（PIVC）护理在澳大利亚仍然不够理想，并继续造成伤害。地方政策的差距、临床医生培训的差异和相互竞争的临床重点，都继续导致不良的PIVC做法和相关并发症。方法：开展了一项重点设置研究，目的是确定预防和控制感染的重点，为预防和控制感染提供护理和关键的可操作策略，以促进有效改善预防和控制感染的做法。结果：65名多学科临床医生参与了本研究。确定了9个优先主题，并制定了关键的可操作战略，包括加强消费者参与、开发标准化和循证资源，以及加强国家对改善非疫苗接种患者护理的领导。结论：本研究为临床医生提供了有价值的知识，深入了解了导致PIVC不良实践的临床因素。改进这些做法和处理确定的关键主题的努力将取决于整个系统强有力的领导和协调一致的方法。
