Problems associated with performance of peripheral intravenous catheterization in relation to working experience

The aim of this study was to explore general registered nurses' (RNs) assessments of problems associated with difficult peripheral intravenous catheterization (PIVC) depending on their years of working experience, that is, those who had worked 3 years or less and those who had worked more than 3 years. The design was a quantitative, nonexperimental, descriptive, and analytic survey. The participating RNs (n  = 83) were divided into two groups according to the length of their working experience, and the analysis was performed using the SPSS, version 24, software.
