Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This review will synthesize and integrate current research on the practices relating to the insertion, removal, and management of short and midline peripheral intravenous catheters on consumer experiences and outcomes in acute health care. The aim is to provide consolidated evidence to support policy decision-makers and health care workers in overcoming peripheral intravenous catheter device management challenges. Implementing the evidence provided by this review could increase positive consumer outcomes and reduce the gap between research evidence and clinical practice. INTRODUCTION: Peripheral intravenous catheterization is a process in which a device is inserted into a patient's peripheral vein to administer medication, blood products, and therapeutic fluids. Recent studies have demonstrated the positive and negative impacts of peripheral intravenous catheter site placement, pain relief for insertion, complications, consumer engagement, and routine versus clinically indicated removal of these devices on consumers and the health care system. Managing these impacts in relation to research-practice gaps and conflicting evidence remains challenging. Moreover, consumer experiences and outcomes concerning these challenges are unclear. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review will consider quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies on consumer experiences and outcomes in acute health care. The quantitative component will consider outcomes of patients' pain, satisfaction, anxiety, distress, preferences, fear, and comfort. The qualitative component will consider consumer experiences, including perceptions, preferences, perspectives, attitudes, expectations, and satisfaction. METHODS: This study will follow JBI's convergent segregated approach for mixed method systematic reviews. A search of 11 databases will be conducted for peer-reviewed published articles, theses, and dissertations. There will be no age, date, or language limitations. REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO CRD42023410214.
