Hospitals can spread nosocomial infections, including phlebitis, within 72 hours of admission. Phlebitis, an inflammation of veins often caused by IV lines, can lead to severe systemic infections. This study examines the incidence and contributing factors of phlebitis in Class 2 inpatient wards at RSD dr. Soebandi Jember, using observational analytic methods and a quota sampling of 88 adult patients from a 756-patient population, selected via Slovin's formula. Observations from September 10-18, 2024, involved the Visual Infusion Phlebitis Scale (VIP) and medical records. Results showed 77 patients (87.5%) without phlebitis, and 11 patients (12.5%) with phlebitis: 8 (9.1%) with mild degree 1 and 3 (3.4%) with degree 2 symptoms. Contributing factors include age, gender, chronic diseases, and reactions to certain medications. These findings suggest the importance of adherence to standard operating procedures for IV care to prevent infections. Practical implications include improving nurse training on IV care protocols to minimize phlebitis and related complications, thereby enhancing patient outcomes.
