About this study

The study employed a post-test non-randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of the PİKSEÇ (Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Selection) application on the success of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) placement, as well as on the pain and emotional level scores of hospitalized preschool children aged 3-6 years. In preschool children, aged 3-6 years, who were hospitalized, anxiety about losing body integrity is commonly observed. Children tend to think that all the material inside their bodies can come out through a wound or hole during invasive procedures. Therefore, it becomes crucial to reduce anxiety related to invasive procedures in children of this age group. In this context, the study aimed to be conducted in preschool children.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PİKSEÇOther

    In designing the PİKSEÇ application, the Turkish validity and reliability version of the 'Difficult Intravenous Access Score' and a literal translation of the miniMAGIC instructions were utilized. The application serves as a guideline for nurses during peripheral intravenous catheter insertion, taking into account parameters such as the patient's age, urgency status, anxiety, and vein characteristics, providing tailored suggestions.

    By utilizing the application, nurses can follow evidence-based guidelines more efficiently, ensuring a faster and more practical adherence to the PIVC intervention procedure, ultimately contributing to a safer peripheral intravenous catheter insertion process.

  • Routine careOther

    The pediatric unit's PIVC insertion process will be routinely performed in routine care.

What is being measured

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

  1. PIVC success rate at first insertion

    Measured: From the day the first sample was included in the study to the day the last sample was included, an estimated 4 months.

  2. Number of PIVC attempts

    Measured: Starts with the first PIVC attempt in each sample and ends with the successful PIVC attempt, an estimated 15 minutes.. Can be between 1 and 4 attempts.

  3. PIVC attempts duration

    It starts with the attachment of the tourniquet during the first PIVC attempt and ends with the fixation of the PIVC.

    Measured: Measured with a stopwatch for 4 months.

  4. Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale Score during PIVC attempt

    The Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale has a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 5. An increase in score means an increase in pain.

    Measured: It starts with the attachment of the tourniquet during the first PIVC attempt and ends with the fixation of the PIVC, an estimated 2 minutes.

  5. Emotional Indicators Scale in Children Score during PIVC attempt

    The scale has a minimum score of 5 and a maximum score of 25. An increase in the score indicates a worsening of the emotional state.

    Measured: It starts with the attachment of the tourniquet during the first PIVC attempt and ends with the fixation of the PIVC, an estimated 2 minutes..

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PİKSEÇ and Routine care in people with Nurse's Role and Peripheral Venous Catheterization, run by Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PIVC success rate at first insertion (time frame: From the day the first sample was included in the study to the day the last sample was included, an estimated 4 months.). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Oct 2024.
