The Effect of Vein Visualization with Infrared Light Device Supported Teaching on Peripheral Intravenous Catheterization Learning and Psychomotor Skill Performance of Nursing Students
Project no. 20841 · Status: Kapanmış · 2019
Summary
The study was aimed to examine the effect of infrared light and standard practice teaching on the psychomotor skill level of nursing students in providing peripheral intravenous catheterization (PIC) skills. Randomized controlled experimental study with a pre-test-post-test control group design, was conducted between December 2019 - February 2020, with Ege University Faculty of Nursing second year nursing students (n: 224) who did not have prior peripheral intravenous catheterization skills training, who did not have clinical experience and who agreed to participate in the study. Nursing students who continuing the "Fundamentals of Nursing" module of the "Basic Principles and Practices in Nursing" course in which basic nursing skills are learned and it was conducted with students who met the sampling criteria and agreed to participate in the study. In the collection of research data, Individual Information Form (Annex-II), Peripheral Vein Catheterization (PIC) Skill Performance Test (Annex-III), Peripheral Intravenous Cataterization Information Assessment Form (Annex-IV), The Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale, (Annex-V) has been applied and evaluated. The average peripheral intravenous catheterization skill scores of the experimental group in which the infrared light vein imaging teaching was applied were found to be higher than the control group in which the standard teaching was applied (p <0.05). Peripheral intravenous catheterization knowledge pre-test and post-test scores were statistically significantly increased in the experimental group in which the vein visualization with infrared light teaching was applied and the control groups in which standard teaching was applied (p <0.001). The success rate of the catheterization success was found to be very high in the practice group in which vein visualization with infrared light teaching was applied. As a result of the research; it has been determined that the use of vein visualization with infrared light teaching method in providing nursing students with peripheral vein catheterization skills increases students' psychomotor skills and the success of catheterization intervention.
