Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to assess the level of phlebitis and contributing factors among patients with peripheral intravenous cannulation and to associate phlebitis with selected demographic variables. A total of 30 subjects were selected for this study by using convenient sampling technique. All subjects were evaluated by using grading scale for phlebitis and self structured questionnaire to assess the contributing factors . The results of this studies revealed that 10(33.3%) of them had phlebitis at grade I level, 8 (26.7%) of them had grade II level of phlebitis, 7 (23.3%) of them were found to have the level of phlebitis at grade III and 5 (16.7%) of them were found to have grade IV level of phlebitis. The overall mean level of phlebitis value is 2.3 with standard deviation of 0.16 & the mean percent is 57.5%. Further, the study results reveal that there is a significant association between selected demographic variables such as age, education and previous experience.
