Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal participants are pediatric nurses at the study site who have worked there at least one year and completed the hospital's intravenous infusion training and assessment.

Probably not a fit

Children cared for outside the participating wards or in settings where nurses do not use the matched implementation strategies are unlikely to benefit directly.

What this trial studies

This implementation project uses the CFIR-ERIC matching tool to identify barriers and develop tailored strategies grounded in the 2021 pediatric venous access device selection decision tree. The intervention was implemented across 21 wards at the Children's Hospital of Fudan University using a pre-post design and comparison to a blank group. Outcomes include nurse knowledge about device selection and error rates in choosing appropriate venous access devices. Implementation success is measured using the RE-AIM framework across reach, effectiveness, adoption, and implementation metrics.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could make IV device selection safer for children by improving nurse knowledge and reducing selection errors.

How similar studies have gone: CFIR-ERIC matching has shown promise in implementation research generally, but applying it specifically to pediatric venous access device selection is novel and not well established.
