Resumen

Objetivo principal: Describir una intervención educativa sobre canalización venosa periférica ecoguiada en enfermeras y su impacto en conocimiento, autoconfianza y uso de la técnica. Metodología: Estudio cuasiexperimental con 45 enfermeras que participaron en un taller de 2 horas basado en simulación. Se aplicaron cuestionarios antes, después y a los 6 meses, en los que autoevaluaban sus habilidades y sus resultados clínicos. Resultados principales: 40 enfermeras completaron los cuestionarios pre y post taller. La autoconfianza para canalizar con ecografía y el resto de habilidades aumentaron significativamente. 22 enfermeras completaron el cuestionario final. Los niveles de conocimiento y confianza se mantuvieron altos. El uso de la ecografía aumentó un 46%, y los casos de canalización exitosa un 66%. La satisfacción fue muy elevada. Conclusión principal: Un taller breve mejora el conocimiento, la autoconfianza y el uso del ultrasonido para la canalización periférica entre profesionales de enfermería.

Abstract

Objective: To describe an educational intervention on ultrasound-guided peripheral venous access for nurses and its impact on knowledge, confidence, and use of the technique. Methodology: Quasi-experimental study involving 45 nurses who participated in a 2-hour simulation-based workshop. Self-assessment questionnaires were administered before, immediately after, and six months following the intervention, evaluating perceived skills and clinical outcomes. Results: 40 nurses completed the pre- and post-workshop questionnaires. Confidence in ultrasound-guided catheterization and related skills increased significantly.22 nurses completed the final follow-up. Knowledge and confidence levels remained high. Ultrasound use increased by 46%, and successful catheterizations by 66%. Satisfaction was very high. Conclusion: A brief workshop improves knowledge, confidence and the use of ultrasound in peripheral venous access among nursing professionals.
