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.

Interventions

- 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 f
