ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the construction of PICC catheterization nurses in Shandong province. Methods A total of 235 hospitals were investigated from PICC maintenance network in Shandong province with self-designed questionnaire through internet survey. Results 179 hospitals established intravenous (IV) nurse team(76.17%). 86.92%(93/107) of the tertiary hospitals established Ⅳ nurse team, which was higher than 67.19% (86/128) of the secondary hospitals, the difference was statistically significant(χ2=12.50,P<0.01). There were 1335 trained and certificated nurses while 1382 nurses engaging in PICC catheterization, and there were more PICC catheterization nurses in tertiary hospitals than secondary hospitals, the difference was statistically significant(t=7.23,P<0.01). 22.98%(54/235) of the hospitals had more PICC catheterization nurses than trained and certificated nurses, 11.49%(27/235) of the hospitals had more trained and certificated nurses than PICC catheterization nurses. 7.81%(108/1382) of the PICC catheterization nurses worked full-time and 31.91%(441/1382) had a manager position. 51.06% (120/235) of the hospitals had set up clear selection criteria for PICC catheterization nurses, mainly focusing on education background, professional tittle and (or) work experience. Organization in PICC training was diversified, giving priority to nursing association in provinceand nursing association in city. PICC catheterization nurses in only 20.43% (48/235) of the hospitals would accept training annually, 31.49%(74/235) of the hospitals would re-certificate PICC nurses.
