Challenges for nurses caring for individuals with peripherally inserted central catheters in skilled nursing facilities.
The researchers sought to understand the perceived preparedness of frontline nurses (registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs)), unit nurse managers, and skilled nursing facility (SNF) administrators in providing care for residents with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in SNFs. They noted differences between resident self-reported PICC concerns (quality of life) and those described by frontline nurses.
