Overview

This study aims to evaluate the effect of video-supported education, prepared for pediatric nurses, on their knowledge, attitudes, and perceived professional competence regarding peripheral venous catheter (PVC) infiltration and extravasation. The research will be conducted as a parallel-group, randomized controlled experimental design, involving pre-test and post-test measurements. The study will be carried out with nurses working in the pediatric clinics of Konya Dr. Ali Kemal Belviranlı Women's Health and Pediatric Hospital. During the data collection process, a Descriptive Information Form, an Infiltration and Extravasation Knowledge Questionnaire, an Attitude Scale Towards Preventing Infiltration and Extravasation, and a Competency Scale for Clinical Nurses will be utilized. Nurses in the intervention group will receive video-supported education on peripheral venous catheter infiltration and extravasation, which will be prepared by the researchers with expert consultation. No intervention will be applied to nurses in the control group. Pre-test data will be collected face-to-face from both the intervention and control groups within one week prior to the intervention, and post-test data will be collected one month after the intervention. The findings are expected to improve nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards complications they may encounter in PVC applications, enhance patient safety in clinical practice, and provide evidence-based contributions to nursing education. In these respects, the study aims to make a significant contribution to the literature and pediatric nursing practice.

video-assisted peripheral venous catheter infiltration and extravasation trainingOTHER

Educational videos on infiltration and extravasation will be prepared by the researcher based on a comprehensive literature review. First, an in-depth review will be conducted; then, a written script will be developed. The video will include eight sections: definition, epidemiology, risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and the nurse's role. It will be narrated by the researcher and include slides, simulated demonstrations in a skills laboratory, and animations created with support from a graphic design specialist. The final video will be developed under expert consultation, submitted for review, and shared via a QR code in the thesis.,

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Descriptive Information Form

The Descriptive Information Form was developed by the researchers based on similar studies in the literature (Orman et al., 2022; Tok Yıldız \& Avcı, 2019). It consists of 11 questions aimed at identifying nurses' personal and professional characteristics, including age, gender, education level, average number of patients cared for, having children, monthly working pattern, and experience with infiltration and extravasation cases.

Time frame: Pre-test (before the video-assisted peripheral venous catheter infiltration and extravasation training), post-test (1 month after the video-assisted peripheral venous catheter infiltration and extravasation training).

Secondary Outcomes

Infiltration and Extravasation Knowledge Form

This form was developed by the researcher through a literature review to assess pediatric nurses' knowledge levels regarding infiltration and extravasation. The questions are categorized under six headings: definition, risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnostic methods, prevention, intervention, and treatment. The form consists of … items and will be revised based on expert opinions. A higher number of correct answers indicates a higher level of knowledge.
