Objective:To investigate the status quo of nurses'knowledge about the prevention and control of catheter-related infection,so as to provide reference for improving nurses'knowledge about the prevention and control of catheter-related infection.Methods:From July 12 to August 12,2023,a self-designed questionnaire on prevention and control of catheter-related infection was used,and the questionnaire was distributed to clinical nurses,nursing managers and full-time nursing staff through the platform of the Infection Prevention and Control Committee of Chinese Nursing Association.Results:Among the 11 questions,there were 5 questions with 50%correct answers and only 3 questions with 80%correct answers.The highest correct rate is the disinfection method of infusion joint(97.49%),and the lower correct rate is the dilution of normal saline before sputum aspiration(19.80%),the cleaning and disinfection of indwelling catheter(19.06%),the regular air bag deflation of patients with tracheal intubation(15.51%),and the bladder function exercise before pulling out the catheter(9.97%).There was statistical significance in comparing the length of service,professional titles and positions of nurses in hospitals with different grades(P<0.05).Conclusion:Nurses'practical knowledge of prevention and control of catheter-related infection needs to be improved,and evidence-based ability and related knowledge training need to be strengthened.
