Adaptation and validation of pediatric peripheral intravenous catheter insertion and care practices audit tools.
Ferika Indarwati, Judy Munday, Samantha Keogh
PMID 35509701WHAT IT FOUND
Indonesian versions of three pediatric peripheral IV catheter tools were translated and rated as relevant by experts and understandable by nurses and parents.
They are available for use in Indonesian audits, not tested to improve patient outcomes.
Key findings
01Three English-language pediatric peripheral intravenous catheter tools were translated into Indonesian: the point prevalence audit checklist, nurse survey, and patient/parent experience survey.
02Three pediatric nursing experts rated the translated questions as relevant, with high agreement; for the audit checklist, 26 of 29 items had high agreement.
03Nurses found the audit checklist easy to understand, but nurse and parent surveys needed wording or instruction changes to avoid confusion.

What it does not show
The content and face validity samples were small, with three experts and ten panel members for each instrument. No exploratory or confirmatory factor analysis was done, and the paper says factor analysis needs at least 300 participants and five observations for each variable. The tools were validated for Indonesian pediatric settings, so wording and scores may not transfer to other languages or health systems. The paper reports translation and validity results, not patient catheter failure or complication outcomes.
Declared interests
Funding: Nothing to declare. The authors declared no conflict of interest.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this as evidence that the translated tools improve pediatric peripheral intravenous catheter care. The paper reports translation, content validity, and face validity results, and says further testing with larger samples is needed.
