FAKTOR LAMA HARI PEMASANGAN INFUS TIDAK BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN KEJADIAN PLEBITIS

Intravenous therapy is one of the invasive procedures. It results local and systemic complication. Phlebitis is one of the major complications of intravenous therapy. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the mechanical 134 factors that influence the incidence of phlebitis in patients receiving intravenous therapy. The design of this study was correlation description. The population were all patients who were infused from entry into the emergency unit until hospitalization from 1st-25th of January 2017 at PKU Muhammadiyah Sekapuk Gresik. Sampling technique used was purposive sampling with total sample 38 respondents. The instrument used was an observation sheet. The data was analyzed by Chi person squere test and Spearman's to see the relationship between the variables with the level p value < 0.05. The results of this study shown there were 27 respondents that were phlebitis. Variables associated with the incidence of phlebitis were insertion locations (p=0.000), the size of the cannula (p=0.02), disinfection technique (p=0.000), long days cannula installation (p = 0.29), the cannula care (p=0.001), so those data mean that there was a significant correlation between insertion location, the size of the cannula, disinfection techniques, the cannula care with phlebitis incident, and there was no significant relationship between long days cannula installation with the phlebitis incident. Factors of insertion location, cannula size, disinfection techniques, and infusion treatments are factors that can lead to phlebitis, so nurses are advised to pay attention to these factors in order for patients receiving plugged infusions to occur
