Abstract
Background: Central venous catheterization (CVC) is a routine treatment carried out for patients who are critically ill. Therefore, to prevent major complications from CVCs in intensive care units (ICUs), critical care nurses (CCNs) should be educated on evidence-based guidelines such as the central line maintenance bundle (CLMB). Aim: This study aimed to assess critical care nurses’ compliance with central line maintenance bundle. Method: A descriptive observational research design was conducted using a convenience sample of 60 nurses working in four intensive care units (ICUs). Data was collected using participant nurses’ compliance with CLMB and factors affecting nurses’ compliance with CLMB assessment sheets. Results: The study showed that almost three-quarters of the participating nurses (76.3%) had negative CLMB compliance with a mean SD of 3.680±132, and approximately two-thirds 65% had unsatisfactory levels regarding CLMB. There was a strong negative relation (76.3%) between the level of total CLMB of the participant nurses and the total level of factors affecting their compliance with CLMB. Conclusion: The current study concluded that most nurses had unsatisfactory levels regarding CLMB. As well as the majority of them also had unsatisfactory levels regarding the total level of factors affecting their compliance with CLMB. Recommendation: The CCNs need more training program applications to improve their compliance with CLMB to prevent complications of CVC and improve patients’ outcome.
