Abstract :Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the medical conditions of patients who are inpatient with a peripheral intravenous catheter inserted in a private hospital in Northern Cyprus and to determine the frequency of use and risk factors that have occurred or may occur. Methods: The research is descriptive and cross-sectional. All patients who are hospitalized in a private hospital in Northern Cyprus formed the universe. The data were collected using a form of with 18 items. Data collection was provided face-to-face with the patients and from their own patient files. Written informed consent was obtained from the university ethics committee, the university administration and the patients for the study. Results: It was determined that most of the patients were male insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(49.09%); and peripheral intravenous use was more used insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(92.73%); in patients older than 18 years of age. It was determined that 98.18% of the patients had the date of the catheter documented, and 54.55% did not specify the insertion time. The anterior part of the arm was found to be the most common catheter application insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(36.36%);. In 85.45% of the patients, a catheter-related probleminsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(s); did not develop and 61.82% of them were evaluated in the last 24 hours. Conclusion: The latest status of peripheral intravenous catheter applications and compliance and focus on internationally published guidelines in peripheral intravenous catheter applications and management bring about a serious improvement in surveillance, evaluation, decision-making, minimizing application errors, reducing the risk of complications, and documentation.
