Abstract

Design the competency framework and an interview guide for patients with PICC line or midline. Develop a patient satisfaction evaluation questionnaire. A multidisciplinary team has developed a reference system for the skills of patients with PICC line or midline. The skills are classified in three categories: knowledge, know-how and attitudes. An interview guide was written in order to transmit the priority skills, determined beforehand, to the patient. A second multidisciplinary team designed a questionnaire to evaluate patient satisfaction. The competency framework includes nine competencies: four, knowledge-based; three, know-how-based and two, attitude-based. Among these competencies, five were considered to be priorities. The interview guide is a tool that allows care professionals to transmit the priority skills to patients. The satisfaction questionnaire explores the information received by the patient, the passage through the interventional technical platform, the end of the management before the return home, and the overall satisfaction of the patients with the course of the device placement. Over a 6-month period, 276 patients responded with a high satisfaction rate. The PICC line or midline patient's competency framework has made it possible to list all the skills that patients should acquire. The interview guide serves as a support for the care teams in the patient education process. This work could be used by other establishments to develop the educational process around these vascular access devices.
