Effectiveness of fresh aloevera and glycerine magnesium sulphate application on phlebitis among children
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Majority of children being admitted in hospital become the recipients of intravenous cannulation for various reasons at some stage and fact has been proved that drugs or fluids given through intravenous line has a quick and better response than other routes. Despite the benefits of a peripheral line, the occurrence of phlebitis is at a higher rate. The main aim and objective of the study was to assess and compare the effectiveness of freshaloevera and glycerin magnesium sulphate application on phlebitis. Materials and Methods: Two group pre-test post-test time series design was used for the study. The sample consisted of 60 children who were purposively assigned to fresh aloevera group(N=30)and glycerinema gnesiumsulphate group(n=30). An observation checklist was used as tool for assessing the severity of phlebitis. Results and Discussion: There was a significant difference in mild phlebitis (Z=2.16, P<0.05), in moderate phlebitis (Z=2.11, P<0.05), in severe phlebitis (Z=2.68, P<0.05) in fresh aloevera and glycerinema gnesiumsulphate application based on the level of severity of phlebitis. Thus the study concludes that there was a significant difference in both fresh aloeveraand glycerinema gnesium sulphate group on the severity of phlebitis.
