Description
Summary:Aseptic technique is the foundation for preventing bloodstream infections due to peripheral intravenous access insertion. This study aims at identifying the factors influencing nurse compliance in maintaining aseptic technique in the insertion of a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC). The research method is cross-sectional with 160 nurses. The related variables measured were repeated insertion, infant care (incubator or radiation warmer), age of nurse, working experience, level of education of nurses, level of knowledge, work schedule, and number of teams on duty. The nurse's knowledge was measured using a modified questionnaire, and the level of compliance was measured by an observation sheet. Higher age and education level of nurses were significantly associated with an increase in the level of nurse compliance (β = 0.053–1.22; p
