Overview

Cross-sectional survey reveals positive attitudes but poor maintenance knowledge among primary hospital nurses in China, highlighting substantial training needs before service rollout.

Key Points

To assess primary hospital nurses' attitudes toward and knowledge of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) maintenance in Hunan province, China.
Conducted a cross-sectional survey from November 2018 to January 2019 among registered nurses providing intravenous infusion across 28 community and 28 township hospitals in 14 cities in Hunan, China (N=560; response rate 93.6%).
Evaluated attitudes and technical knowledge regarding PICC maintenance using a questionnaire developed through literature review and expert consultation.
More than 90% of participating nurses recognized the necessity of PICC maintenance, expressed personal interest, and reported strong demand for formal training.
Knowledge levels were deficient across most evaluated domains, with correct response rates ranging from 7.14% to 57.68% on the majority of items, and only three items achieving a correct response rate of ≥90%.
Knowledge scores were significantly influenced by years of nursing experience, professional title, healthcare setting, and clinical department.
