The data were collected in before and after educational intervention to assess the pretest and posttest knowledge about the phlebitis associated with peripheral intravenous cannulation. The data were analyzed and interpreted by descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results and Conclusion: Findings of the study shows that the highest percentage of respondents was in age group < 35 (70%). The mean score of pretest knowledge was found to be 19.80 with Standard Deviation is 3.24 and mean score of posttest knowledge was found to 24.12 with SD 2.63. The difference on knowledge of pretest and posttest was found to be significant (p= 0.001).Pretest knowledge score of nurses was less regarding phlebitis associated with peripheral intravenous cannulation.
