The role of nurse in education of patients with implanted intravenous port catheter
 VODIČKOVÁ, Petra
Intravenous port catheter is a special type of central intravenous catheter ensuring a reliable, safe and longterm access into the central vein by means of hypodermic injection. In recent years the intravenous port catheters have become common part of treatment and they are mainly used in patients suffering from oncological malignities for repeated doses of chemotherapy and pain killing medicine. Intravenous port catheters are also applied in other chronic states when a quality and reliable vein access is necessary. The care for intravenous port catheters is very special and the attitude of the nurse plays an important role. It is important to include the patient in the care for the intravenous port catheter, communicate with him/her effectively and to provide him with sufficient information. Thus a good cooperation between the patient and the nurse can be ensured the result of which is a fully functional intravenous port catheter with a long use. This paper deals with the role of the nurse in educating patients with an intravenous port catheter. It is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part contains information on the intravenous port catheter and education of patients. The practical part consists of a qualitative research. The method of individual, partially prepared interviews with patients with intravenous port catheter was applied to data collecting. Three research questions were set: 1. Are patients with an intravenous port catheter interested in receiving information on this system? 2. Are patients with an intravenous port catheter interested in receiving printed information material? 3. Is printed information material beneficiary for patients? 12 patients made up the research file. The research was carried out at the haematological-oncological department of the University Hospital in Pilsen. The first goal of the paper was to find out what information patients with an intravenous port catheter need. The second goal was preparation of a printed education material for the patients based on the information found out. The third goal was to find out whether the prepared information material is a help to the patients. These goals were fulfilled. Based on the information from the first group patients an information leaflet was prepared. This leaflet was then applied to educate the second group patients. Patients acquainted with the leaflet and the information it provided were satisfied. Patients consider the benefit of the leaflet in that they can check the needed information and that they can write down in the leaflet questions for the nurse and write down notes. The analysis of the interviews has also shown that patients wish to complete information in the leaflet by a discussion with the nurse. The role the nurse is irreplaceable and the most effective method is to use the printed material together with a discussion. The results of this paper shall be applied in the work of nurses to provide quality information to patients with an intravenous port catheter.
