To establish the content of training courses for infusion therapy specialist nurses, and evaluate the implementation effect of the course, so as to provide a theoretical reference for the training of infusion therapy specialist nurses.

Based on the preliminary investigation research on the needs of nurses for the training of intravenous therapy knowledge, the Delphi method was used to determine the training content of 6 modules and 62 projects. From March to May and from September to November 2019, two training sessions were carried out at the vascular access technology training base in Hunan Province. A total of 97 nurses from 84 hospitals participated in and completed the theoretical and practical courses, and the number of students in the two training sessions were 46 and 51 respectively. The learning effect of the students was understood with the pass rate of the staged assessment, the pass rate of the graduation assessment and the self-evaluation questionnaire.

The 97 students' self-evaluation of the mastery of learning content was 3.30 to 5.00. In the staged assessment, the theoretical score was (87.50±4.48) , the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) maintenance operation score was (86.25±5.62) , the infusion port maintenance score was (89.50±6.25) , and the PICC catheterization operation score was (84.42±4.13) . The qualification rate of theoretical and operational assessment was both 100.0%. In the graduation assessment, 97 students all completed the graduation assessment requirements, a total of 4 941 indwelling needles were successfully placed, 509 PICCs were successfully placed, and 97 small lectures were completed. The graduation assessment pass rate was 100.0%.

This course has a high degree of expert positivity, expert authority and coordination of expert opinions, and the curriculum setting is scientific. The training course promotes the students' mastery of the specialized knowledge theory and practical skills of intravenous therapy, and can provide a theoretical basis for the training of intravenous therapy specialist nurses in my country.
