AB  - Phlebitis is one of the serious complications of catheter which is still one of the most important
problems in hospitalized patients. Therefore, the present study has been conducted to determine the factors
associated with the severity of phlebitis due to peripheral venous catheters in hospitalized patients of Imam
Khomeini hospital in Kermanshah, 2015.This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The case study was
all admitted patients (who had peripheral venous catheter and phlebitis) of the infectious diseases, ICU and
internal sectors of Imam Khomeini hospital in Kermanshah for the time period of April to September 2015.
Jackson’sevaluating checklist has been applied asa criterionto recognize phlebitis based on touch and
observation of the researchers. Therequired collecting data has been appliedin SPSS v.21 Software. All analyzes
have been examined at a significance level of 5%.In this study, 201 cases of phlebitis were identified. Phlebitis
type IIwas observed in 54.2%of cases and other cases were phlebitis type. The variables of age and gender had
no significant relationship with the phlebitis (p>0.05).The results of logistic regression analysis showed that
hospitalization in the ICU sector (in comparison with the internal sector), receiving ceftriaxone
and non-ceftriaxone type ofantibiotics (in comparison with patients who did not receive antibiotics) and
angiocath installation time of 48-72 h (in comparison with patients who had angiocath installation timeless than
24 h) had higher chance to get severe phlebitis. Furthermore, the risk of severe phlebitis is lower in patients who
were ininfection sector in comparison with internal sector.The results of this study showed that the risk of
severe phlebitis has been increased by hospitalized patients in ICU, receiving antibiotics and increased duration
of angiocath installation.
