Abstract

Background: A number of studies have reported that nurses are not expert peripheral intravenous cannulation managers. Results of these studies emphasize the need for regular education for nurses. The aim of this pre-post test quasi-experimental descriptive study was to assess the effect of an educational intervention on nurses' knowledge and management of intravenous cannulation.
