About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the effect of video-supported education, prepared for pediatric nurses, on their knowledge, attitudes, and perceived professional competence regarding peripheral venous catheter (PVC) infiltration and extravasation. The research will be conducted as a parallel-group, randomized controlled experimental design, involving pre-test and post-test measurements. The study will be carried out with nurses working in the pediatric clinics of Konya Dr. Ali Kemal Belviranlı Women's Health and Pediatric Hospital.
During the data collection process, a Descriptive Information Form, an Infiltration and Extravasation Knowledge Questionnaire, an Attitude Scale Towards Preventing Infiltration and Extravasation, and a Competency Scale for Clinical Nurses will be utilized. Nurses in the intervention group will receive video-supported education on peripheral venous catheter infiltration and extravasation, which will be prepared by the researchers with expert consultation. No intervention will be applied to nurses in the control group. Pre-test data will be collected face-to-face from both the intervention and control groups within one week prior to the intervention, and post-test data will be collected one month after the intervention.
The findings are expected to improve nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards complications they may encounter in PVC applications, enhance patient safety in clinical practice, and provide evidence-based contributions to nursing education. In these respects, the study aims to make a significant contribution to the literature and pediatric nursing practice.

Treatments tested in this trial
video-assisted peripheral venous catheter infiltration and extravasation training
Other interventionEducational videos on infiltration and extravasation will be prepared by the researcher based on a comprehensive literature review. First, an in-depth review will be conducted; then, a written script will be developed. The video will include eight sections: definition, epidemiology, risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and the nurse's role. It will be narrated by the researcher and include slides, simulated demonstrations in a skills laboratory, and animations created with support from a graphic design specialist. The final video will be developed under expert consultation, submitted for review, and shared via a QR code in the thesis.,

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes

Descriptive Information Form
The Descriptive Information Form was developed by the researchers based on similar studies in the literature (Orman et al., 2022; Tok Yıldız \& Avcı, 2019). It consists of 11 questions aimed at identifying nurses' personal and professional characteristics, including age, gender, education level, average number of patients cared for, having children, monthly working pattern, and experience with infiltration and extravasation cases.
Time frame
Pre-test (before the video-assisted peripheral venous catheter infiltration and extravasation training), post-test (1 month after the video-assisted peripheral venous catheter infiltration and extravasation training).Secondary outcomes
1
Infiltration and Extravasation Knowledge Form
This form was developed by the researcher through a literature review to assess pediatric nurses' knowledge levels regarding infiltration and extravasation. The questions are categorized under six headings: definition, risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnostic methods, prevention, intervention, and treatment. The form consists of … items and will be revised based on expert opinions. A higher number of correct answers indicates a higher level of knowledge.
Time frame
Pre-test (before the video-assisted peripheral venous catheter infiltration and extravasation training), post-test (1 month after the video-assisted peripheral venous catheter infiltration and extravasation training).Other outcomes

Attitude Scale for the Prevention of Infiltration and Extravasation
The scale was developed by Serpil Şeker and Meryem Kılıç in 2025. It is a 4-point Likert-type scale consisting of 15 items and 5 subdimensions. Responses range from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree." The minimum and maximum possible scores are 15 and 60, respectively. Items 11 and 13 are reverse scored. The Cronbach's alpha value is 0.854. The mean total score is 49.70. Higher scores indicate more positive attitudes (Şeker \& Kılıç, 2025, Master's thesis).
Time frame
Pre-test (before the video-assisted peripheral venous catheter infiltration and extravasation training), post-test (1 month after the video-assisted peripheral venous catheter infiltration and extravasation training).2
Clinical Nurses Competency Scale
The scale, originally developed by Kao et al., was adapted into Turkish in 2023 by Nagihan Köroğlu Kaba, Betül Bal, and Havva Öztürk. It consists of 18 items and 3 subdimensions and is a 7-point Likert-type scale. Responses range from 1 = strongly inappropriate to 7 = strongly appropriate. Higher scores indicate higher clinical competence. The Cronbach's alpha value is 0.87 (Köroğlu Kaba et al., 2023).
Time frame
