Abstract
Peripheral IV catheters (PIVCs) are commonly placed in hospital patients. However, there is a lack of evidence on which to base this practice. The aim of this study was to assess current knowledge and practice for this procedure in 3 different cultures. The study collected information from a postal questionnaire sent to physicians and nurses in teaching hospitals in Greece, Jordan, and Australia. The results gathered from the questionnaire depict a number of misconceptions with regard to the management of PIVCs in the 3 healthcare organizations selected for the study.
