Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Nurses frequently use peripheral venous catheters in hospitals to provide medications and fluids for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Peripheral venous catheter use brought various problems, including phlebitis, infiltration, extravasation, ecchymosis, thrombophlebitis, and embolism, in addition to being a regularly utilized nursing practice. The literature used techniques like heat application, fist clenching, and proximal massage to lower the risk of thrombophlebitis and associated problems.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Between October and November 2022, individuals who received orthopedic care at a state hospital and had peripheral venous catheters participated in the trial as a randomized controlled experimental study. The control group received routine nursing care, while the experimental group received proximal massage and palm fist exercises. The numbers used to identify the control and experimental groups were drawn at random from a table of random numbers, and each group had 36 patients. The researcher used the "Patient Information Form," "Plebitis Risk Scale Due to Peripheral Venous Catheter," and "Plebitis Diagnostic Scale" to collect data using in-person interviews and observational methods. The p value for statistical significance is p\<0.05. Proximal massage: For a total of 5 to 10 minutes, twice daily for 4 days, between 30 seconds- 1 minute in sessions of approximately 20 strokes, a light massage is administered utilizing the palm surfaces of the fingers. Under the researcher's supervision, participants in the activity known as fist clenching squeeze a soft palm ball 20 times in each of twice a day for four days, lasting between 30 Seconds - 1 minute.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Proximal massage and fist clenching

The experimental group of 36 patients underwent proximal massage and fist clenching after IV insertion. Proximal massage: For a total of 5 to 10 minutes, twice daily for 4 days, between 30 seconds- 1 minute in sessions of approximately 20 strokes, a light massage is administered utilizing the palm surfaces of the fingers. Fist Clenching : Under the researcher's supervision, participants in the activity known as palm fisting squeeze a soft palm ball 20 times in each of twice a day for four days, lasting between 30 seconds - 1 minute. The Peripheral Venous Catheter-Related Phlebitis Risk Scale, the Phlebitis Diagnostic Scale, and the Patient Information Form were employed right after following PVC (0. hour). The Phlebitis Diagnostic Scale was used for 96 hours to assess the patient's vascular access at the 24th, 48th, 72nd, and 96th hours.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Proximal massage: For a total of 5 to 10 minutes, twice daily for 4 days, between 30 seconds- 1 minute in sessions of approximately 20 strokes, a light massage is administered utilizing the palm surfaces of the fingers.

Fist Clenching : Under the researcher's supervision, participants in the activity known as palm fisting squeeze a soft palm ball 20 times in each of 2 days a day for four days, lasting between 30 seconds - 1 minute.

Standard care for PVC

The standard care group of 36 patients received typical nursing PVC care. Standard nurse PVC care: Only standard PVC care and follow-up were provided. It was carefully avoided that the patients would interact with one another or be in the same patient room. The Peripheral Venous Catheter-Related Phlebitis Risk Scale, the Phlebitis Diagnostic Scale, and the Patient Information Form were employed right after following PVC (0. hour). The Phlebitis Diagnostic Scale was used for 96 hours to assess the patient's vascular access at the 24th, 48th, 72nd, and 96th hours.
