About this study

Official title: Clinical Practice Guideline on the Prevention and Management of Neonatal Extravasation Injury

This study is aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an evidence-based clinical practice guideline in the prevention and management of neonatal extravasation injury, and to examine the change in nurses' knowledge of and adherence to the guideline.

Read the detailed description

A study with controlled before-and-after design was conducted. The clinical practice guideline was developed and a multifaceted educational program was delivered for nurses. Neonatal outcomes were collected at baseline and after completion of the intervention. The changes in nurses' level of knowledge and adherence to the guideline were also measured.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in rate of peripheral intravenous extravasation

    The number of the incidents divided by the total number of catheter days and multiplied by 1,000

    Measured: Change from Baseline rate at one month

  2. Change in rate of extravasation from a central line

    The number of the incidents divided by the total number of catheter days and multiplied by 1,000

    Measured: Change from Baseline rate at one month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in nurses' level of knowledge

    The Neonatal Extravasation Knowledge Test

    Measured: Change from Baseline Knowledge level at six months

  2. Change in nurses' adherence to clinical practice guidelines

    A 27-item audit tool

    Measured: Change from Baseline Adherence level at six months
