Qualitative study on the behavioral intentions of pediatric nurses towards the use of vascular visualization devices in light of the theory of planned behavior
Objective To explore the behavioral intentions of pediatric nurses towards using vascular visualization devices in light of the theory of planned behavior.Methods This was a qualitative study.From March to November 2023,20 pediatric nurses from Peking University First Hospital were selected using purposive sampling for semi-structured interviews.The interview data were analyzed and themes were extracted using Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results The behavioral intentions of pediatric nurses towards the use of vascular visualization devices could be summarized into nine themes based on the theory of planned behavior.Attitudes towards behavior included positive evaluations,negative evaluations,and unclear information.Subjective norms involved peers'attitudes as well as expectations and pressures from patients.Perceived behavioral control encompassed workload,level of knowledge,more limited equipment performance,and external resource support.Conclusions The behavioral intentions of pediatric nurses towards the use of vascular visualization devices are influenced by their attitudes towards the behavior,subjective norms,and perceived behavioral control.Nursing managers should conduct standardized training on vascular visualization devices to enhance nurses'knowledge and skills,while also valuing the sources of various supports to create a supportive environment for the use of vascular visualization devices.This will improve the usage experience of pediatric nurses and promote the use of vascular visualization devices in pediatric nursing practice.
