Effect of scenario-supported training on pediatric nurses' knowledge and skills in extravasation and infiltration management.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extravasation and infiltration are preventable complications of intravenous therapy that can cause severe tissue injury in pediatric patients. Nurses play a critical role in prevention and early management, yet studies have shown that their knowledge and skills in this area are often insufficient. Simulation-based training has been shown to improve clinical competence; however, evidence specific to pediatric extravasation management is limited.

Methods

This quasi-experimental study employed a single-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 475 pediatric nurses were invited, 436 participated, and 399 were included in the final analysis after missing data excluded. A half-day, scenario-supported training program was developed by expert clinicians, combining theoret
