Nurse Compliance with Infusion Insertion SOP at General Hospital X in Jakarta, 2025

Abstract

Compliance is an individual's behavior in obeying rules, orders, procedures, and work discipline. Intravenous therapy is a medical procedure by inserting sterile fluids through a needle directly into the patient's vein. The infusion must follow the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Non-compliance with the SOP can cause complications such as phlebitis, so it is important to evaluate nurses' compliance in this procedure. Objective: To determine the level of nurses' compliance with the SOP for infusion at the pre-interaction, orientation, work, and termination stages at Hospital X Jakarta. This study used a quantitative descriptive design with an observational approach. The number of respondents was 61 nurses working in the inpatient ward of Hospital X. Of the 61 respondents, non-compliance was found at the pre-interaction stage by 4 nurses (6.6%), the orientation stage by 8 nurses (13.1%), and the termination stage by 1 nurse (1.6%). All respondents showed compliance at the work stage. There is still non-compliance among nurses with the SOP for infusion, especially at the pre-interaction, orientation, and termination stages. Causal factors include limited knowledge, attitudes, and supporting facilities and infrastructure. Routine evaluation, periodic training, and direct supervision are needed to improve nurse compliance with SOP for infusion installation.
