Abstract | The use of electronic syringe infusion pumps to administer therapeutic agents is a common practice in hospitals, particularly among patients who require slow injection treatments. For these patients and their practitioners, it is crucial that the administration of drugs (especially for those having a small therapeutic index) via the syringe pump be consistent, predictable, and reliable. The present study was intended to assess the knowledge and practice among cardiac nurses about infusion therapy using syringe pump. The objectives were to assess the knowledge and practice among cardiac nurses about infusion therapy using syringe pump and to find out the association between knowledge and selected variables. The objectives were to assess the knowledge and practice among cardiac nurses about infusion therapy using syringe pump and to find out the association between knowledge and selected variables. The study was done by quantitative approach and research design used was descriptive design. Data was collected from 60 cardiac nurses from SCTIMST Thiruvananthapuram, working in CSICU, CHICU, CHW and CCU. Convenient sampling technique was used for selection of samples. The data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire to assess the cardiac nurses knowledge about infusion therapy using syringe pump and check list to assess the practice. The data was analyzed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics. The present study emphasized to assess the knowledge and practice among cardiac nurses about infusion therapy using syringe pump. Majority (92%) cardiac nurses had good knowledge score (26) with a maximum obtainable score of 9. For practice all participant's (100%) had good practice. There was association between knowledge and selected socio-demographic variables such as age, gender, educational qualification and years of experience. |
