This study to analyze the effect of the location of infusion, intravenous
catheter size, duration of infusion, and type of dressing, on the study
of phlebitis in hospitalized children between the ages of 1 and 10
years. The cross-sectional study with 144 child-age respondents from
1 month to 10 years of age, selected by simple random sampling. The
data was collected to assess installation location data, intravenous
catheter size, duration of infusion and type of dressing. The data was
used to determine the predictor factors that affected the incidence of
phlebitis in hospitalized children by using multiple linear regression.
The level of significance was set at P <0.05. The results of multiple
linear regression demonstrate that the location and duration of
infusion were more influential on the incidence of infusion in children
aged from 1 month to 10 years. More specifically, Y = 1,737 + 0,600
X1 + 2.427X2 + 0,400X3 + 4,601 X4, whereby Y is the incidence of
phlebitis, 1.737 is the coefficient value, X1 (0.600) is the location of installation, X2 (2,427) is the size of the catheter, X3 (0,400) is the
length of installation and X4 (4,601) is the type of dressing. The
incidence of phlebitis in children aged from 1 to month to 10 years
who were admitted to a private hospital in East Java, Indonesia, was
more influenced by the location factor of infusion and duration of
infusion. Therefore, the standard of infusion installation and treatment
prioritized as peptic principles
