RESUMO

Peripheral venipuncture is an invasive procedure that frequently occurs in the daily work of nursing professionals. This descriptive and exploratory study aimed at evaluating the performance of nursing professionals during the execution of the peripheral venipuncture procedure with the purpose to verify convergences and identify risk factors that can predispose to the occurrence of complications. In order to evaluate the average number of correct performances in the three professional categories, the KrusKal-Wallis non-parametric statistical test was used with significance level of α = 5%. In the cases where a difference was found, the multiple-comparison tests were carried out. Structured observation was the resource used for data collection. Therefore, a check-list type form was used to guide the respective observation. The sample consisted of 55 nursing professionals who were observed while performing the respective procedure three times every other day. An average of 78% of globally correct performances was found for all the categories. However, the specific global average for each category corresponded to: 82% for nurses, 80% for nursing technicians and 77% for nursing auxiliaries. In relation to the 25 items concerning the venipuncture procedure, 10 presented significant errors and four of them presented p <0.05. It was concluded that educational activities and periodical professional training constitute the guiding line for the education of a nursing team comprising individuals who are critical and conscious with regard to the role that they play in the prevention and control of complications associated with invasive procedures, among which is peripheral venipuncture.
