Description

Soma Dey, Neha Rai, Akash Bansal, Bandana Kumari, Bankim Das, and Alka Kumari surveyed nurses at a large hospital in Patna, India, about blood drawing practice, in a study published in 2023. Drawing blood is the first step of lab testing, and slips at that stage force repeats and can mislead care. The team used a thirty-question survey based on World Health Organization guidance.

Knowledge scores came out satisfactory overall, with a few weak spots. Attitudes were strongly positive, and about eighty-seven percent of nurses showed good practice on the items checked. The authors recommend a dedicated teaching program on blood drawing to close the remaining knowledge gaps and lift sample quality across the hospital.
