Intravenous Fluid Therapy in Hospitals

Completed

• Conditions: Intravenous Fluid Therapy; Knowledge Level
• Interventions: Other: Questionnaire

• Registration Number: NCT05964283
• Lead Sponsor: Indonesia University

Brief Summary

The administration of intravenous fluids plays a crucial role in critically ill patients to support optimal management and ensure patient safety. Knowledge and conceptual frameworks will influence a clinician's accuracy in providing intravenous fluid therapy to patients. Accurate administration of fluid therapy to patients will reduce unwanted side effects and decrease the overall treatment costs during hospitalization. Various considerations in administering intravenous fluid therapy are influenced by a clinician's level of knowledge. In Indonesia, doctors working in hospitals may have different levels of education and professional status. However, it is currently unclear whether these professional differences among doctors influence their knowledge in administering fluids to patients.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Questionnaire regarding Physician Knowledge Level of Intravenous fluid therapy	one day	Intravenous Fluid Therapy knowledge Scoring; The principle for scoring these scales is the same in all cases: 1. Estimate the average of the items that contribute to the scale; this is the raw score. Calculating the raw score=(I1+I2+I3+...+In)/n.; 2. Use a linear transformation to standardize the raw score, so that scores range from 0 to 100; a higher score represents a higher ("better") level of knowledge. Formula use for standardization: Knowledge Score = {1-(Raw score-1)/range} X100; The maximum score is 100 (better outcome) The minimum score is 0 (worse outcome); All the information related to intravenous fluid therapy is divided into five domains: (1) basic knowledge about electrolyte fluids, (2) intravenous fluid administration, (3) intravenous fluid composition, (4) fluid resuscitation, and (5) assessment of fluid volume status.
