RESUMO
Objective:To construct an evaluation index system for the risk factors of peripheral venous indwelling catheter failure in adults.Methods:Through literature review, focus group interview method and Delphi method, an evaluation index system for risk factors of peripheral venous indwelling catheter failure in adults was established.Results:The recovery rate of the two round were both 100%; the authority coefficient was 0.939, the coordination coefficient was 0.452 and 0.315 respectively ( χ2=607.88, 502.45, P<0.05). Finally an evaluation index system for adult peripheral venous indwelling needle catheter failure risk factors including puncture factors, patient factors, indwelling needle placement factors, indwelling needle maitenance and withdrawal factors and 54 second-level indicators were formed. Conclusions:The construction of adult peripheral venous indwelling needle catheter failure risk factor assessment system is reasonable and comprehensive in content, which provides reference for clinical nurses to evaluate and prevent the failure of adult peripheral venous catheter failure.
