Abstract

Introduction: in Indonesia, intravenous admixtures are a common problem in hospitals. The incidence of microbial contamination in hospitals is still increasing every year. As such, knowledge of compounding personnel about intravenous admixtures is crucial in determining product quality. This study aims to assess the compounding personnel´s knowledge regarding intravenous admixtures and determine the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics with knowledge of compounding personnel in a government hospital, Indonesia. Methods: a crosssectional study was conducted on 119 compounding personnel selected using purposive sampling from five different hospital units from September to November 2020. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire on sociodemographic factors and knowledge of intravenous admixtures. Results: of the 119 compounding personnel who was respondent in this study, only 28 compounding personnel had good knowledge (23.5). Most of the respondents were female at 52.9, early adulthood at 63.9, profession as a nurse of 100, working period less than five years at 37.0, civil servants at 53.8, and employees who have never attended training at 84.9. Spearman rank correlation test results showed that no significant correlation between sex, profession, working period, and employment status with knowledge. However, age and intravenous admixtures training history have a significant correlation with knowledge. Conclusion: we found that most compounding personnel in a government hospital, Indonesia, were sufficiently understood with intravenous admixtures so that they should be aware of the importance of performing intravenous admixtures adequately. © Erza Genatrika et al.
