The study was undertaken to explore the need of In-Service Education on intravenous Catheter Related Infections (CRI) for staff nurses working in Christian Medical College & Hospital, Ludhiana Punjab. Objectives: To assess the knowledge level of staff nurses regarding intravenous Catheter Related Infections(CRI),to assess the practice-standards level of staff nurses regarding prevention of intravenous CRI, to find out the correlation between staff nurses’ knowledge and practice-standards of intravenous CRI, to identify the relationship of staff nurses’ knowledge and practice-standards with selected personal and professional factors i.e. gender, age group, professional experience, professional qualification, present working areas, In-service education and any presentation/study on intravenous CRI, to determine the need of In-service Education on intravenous Catheter Related Infections on the basis of deficits in staff nurses’ knowledge and practice-standards. Evidence-based Practice model was used by the nurse researcher to conceptualize, gain insight of research question, plan, generate evidence and translate the findings for bringing a change. Method: A quantitative research approach and non-experimental exploratory research design was adopted for the study. Data was collected through self-developed, validated and reliable knowledge questionnaire and practice-standards checklist. The data collected from 100 nurses was organized, tabulated, analysed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings: It revealed that majority (41%) of staff nurses had below average level of knowledge regarding intravenous CRI. Maximum knowledge is in the areas of concepts of I/V catheter related infections and least in the area of host related factors/complications. All the staff nurses (100%) did not meet the expected practice- standards related to intravenous CRI. A weak positive relationship was found between staff nurses’ knowledge and practice-standards. Significant relationship was found between staff nurses’ knowledge and professional qualification (at p<0.05). Conclusion: The staff nurses’ knowledge and practice-standards of intravenous CRI did not meet the set criteria and deficits were found in tem analysis. Therefore, the investigator planned and conducted research-evidence based ISE programme on intravenous CRI with a view to improve staff nurses’ knowledge and practice-standards for prevention of intravenous CRI and promote best quality, cost effective, safe care to the patients.
