CONCLUSIONS
The study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of selected intervention strategy on thrombophlebitis among
patients with intravenous cannula. The selected samples were started with new intravenous cannula and assessed for every
15 minutes for the first 24 to 48 hours after giving the selected intervention strategy using the phlebitis grading scale. The
study concluded that the selected intervention strategy was effective among patients with intravenous cannula. The
strategical measures should be followed to reduce the occurrence of thrombophlebitis by intravenous therapy. The study
findings also recommend that the similar study can be undertaken on the larger scale in future. Nurses should be
adequately trained to assess for the presence of phlebitis and act accordingly. By the way of good and immediate observing
in nursing practice both during and after peripheral catheter insertion, phlebitis complication rates can be reduced
drastically in future.
