Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the effects of nurse's knowledge and self-efficacy on nursing performance in pediatric intravenous fluid management and provide the primary data necessary for the efficient intravenous injection management of hospitalized children. Methods: This study was a descriptive study design with 141 nurses who perform pediatric intravenous therapy care at eight hospitals in the S, C, D, and S regions. Data were collected from September 1, 2023, to September 30, 2023. Results: Nursing performance of pediatric intravenous injection management was significantly positively correlated with knowledge (r=.44, p<.001) and self-efficacy (r=.19, p=.022). Nurses' knowledge (β=.42, p<.001) and self-efficacy (β=. 22, p=.004) of pediatric intravenous injection management and care were identified as significant predictors of nursing performance thereof, with these two factors explaining 21.9% of the variance. Conclusion: This study found that knowledge and self-efficacy of pediatric intravenous injection management are significant predictors of the practice of intravenous care among pediatric nurses. Therefore, considering these factors, education and intervention programs should be developed to enhance pediatric nurses' knowledge and self-efficacy regarding intravenous injection management.
