Psychometric testing of a checklist for procedural training of peripheral intravenous insertion.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nurses, medical technologists, nuclear medicine technologists, pre-hospital providers, and medical students are a few groups of healthcare learners asked to learn intravenous (IV) cannulation in their training (J Surg Educ. 69:536-43, 2012). Despite the fact that IV cannulation has been taught to several health professions, it is difficult to find a psychometrically validated checklist to guide teaching this skill in the simulated procedural training (Pediatrics 124: 610-9, 2009, J Assoc Vasc Access 21: 196-204, 2016). In the absence of a pragmatic, valid checklist for the initial teaching of peripheral IV skills in the simulation procedural skills lab, this investigation sought to describe the process and create a psychometrically valid checklist.
