摘要：Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate Chinese nurses' perception of risk factors for phlebitis. <br> Methods: A convenience sample of hospital nurses was recruited in Beijing, China. Data were collected using a demographic information questionnaire and a questionnaire measuring nurses' perception of risk factors for infusion phlebitis. <br> Results: It was found that knowledge of risk factors for infusion phlebitis was incomplete, even among experienced nurses in the study participants. A high rate of incorrect answers to questions about the pH of fluid (89.9%), gauze or polyurethane catheter dressings (79.1%), and steel needles for drug infusion (76.3%) was observed. <br> Conclusions: These findings suggest that nurses should be trained about the risk factors for infusion phlebitis.
