Abstract
This hospital-based, observational, quantitative study aimed to enhance nursing competency for first-time peripheral venous catheterization (PVC) success, increasing knowledge and skill proficiency by 50% within six months, reducing patient complaints, and improving satisfaction. The study empowered 700 registered nurses through the Teach, Train, and Test (T3) approach, resulting in significant enhancements in nursing knowledge (40% to 80%, p < 0.001) and skills in IV cannulation (35% to 75%, p < 0.001), reduced patient complaints, and improved patient satisfaction scores from 92% to 98%.
