Description of intervention(s) / exposure
- Participants will complete a cross-sectional survey using 10-item questionnaire of patient experience, including measures of sleep quality, pain, discomfort, and sleep disturbance on 5-point Likert scale (5 minutes to complete).
- Researches will then observe for PIVC compliance - location of placement, use of extension tubing, dressing used and condition of dressing (1 minute to complete).
- Patients will be observed and questioned >48 hours post insertion of PIVC
- There will be no further follow-up

Statistical methods / analysis
We assume there will be a correlation between increasing scores for optimally inserted, positioned, and secured cannulas (as per the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care 2021 Management of Peripheral Cannulas Clinical Care Standards) on a scale of 0 to 4, and patient self-reported pain and quality of sleep scores on a scale of 0 to 4. A clinically significant difference will be considered to be >1 point on a 5-point Likert Scale. Enrolling 138 patients would allow us to detect a correlation coefficient of greater than or equal to 0.3, at 95% power and a 2-sided significance level of 5%.

We will summarise the participant questionnaire items (pain on insertion, pain with cannula in situ, quality of sleep, sleep disturbance from discomfort, and sleep disturbance from pump noise) overall, and by the researcher questionnaire items (flexion area, extension tubing, secured to minimise movement, and secured with a semi-permeable dressing).

First, we will assess the correlation between increasing scores for optimally inserted, positioned, and secured cannulas on a scale of 0 to 4, and patient self-reported pain and quality of sleep scores on a scale of 0 to 4.

Thereafter we will calculate the mean differences (95%C) adjusted for age, sex, how many cannulas they had during the admission, and the number of days they had the cannula(s) inserted.

We will also do a composite (summed) score and adjust for all the researcher items plus the participant demographics.

As there were no validated patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) that were suitable for this study, we will also assess internal consistency across the questionnaire items (Cronbach’s alpha).

Summary
Brief summary
This study aims to explore the relationship between adherence to four key components of the PIVC Clinical Care Standard: use of extension tubing, adequate securement, use of a semi-permeable dressing, and avoidance of areas of flexion where possible. It also aims to explore the relationships between these factors and patient-reported sleep quality and sleep disturbance.

We hypothesise that pain and sleep disturbance experienced by patients may be lower and sleep quality higher if compliance with CCS indicators related to PIVC placement and securement is high.
