ABSTRACT
Introduction: Infection related to the use of central venous catheters (CVC) is a complication with a high prevalence. In the pediatric patient candidate for bone marrow transplant, the risk grows and increases predisposition. The safe practice of nursing interventions is crucial for the prevention of CVC infection and occlusion.Objective: To evaluate the performance of nursing staff in the Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Unit (PBMTU) in the safe practice of nursing interventions and CVC maintenance techniques.
Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted with all nursing staff (20) of the PBMTU. A checklist was designed with 58 nursing interventions. Compliance was rated on a qualitative nominal scale and data analysis was done in Excel and SPSS version 9.
Results: Of the total of 58 nursing interventions, 26 interventions (hand washing) were fulfilled to 100 %, and 44 % washing catheter after taking products. 85 % of nurses carried out a total of 55 interventions. Seniority positively influenced compliance in evening shift personnel (F = 5.830, p = 0.007). Two nurses had 100 % safe practice: one from the morning shift and one from the night shift.
Conclusion: 85 % of PBMTU nurses safely practice interventions and CVC maintenance techniques in a timely and sufficient manner; therefore, their actions are appropriate.
