Effectiveness of mentoring method on optimization of intravenous fluid documentation at Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital

Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital (SSIDH) introduced a documentation system for intravenous fluids in nursing care. Despite providing comprehensive technical guidelines to all nurses, there were challenges in the recording of intravenous fluids. Researchers sought to improve this by utilizing the mentorship method to re-explain the application of technical guidelines for completing intravenous fluid sheets. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the mentoring method in optimizing intravenous fluid sheets. Quasi-experimental research using a pretest-posttest with a control group design was employed. Respondents had an average age of 37.02 years, a work period of 9.63 years, and a majority held bachelor's degrees. Common blank items in intravenous fluid documentation included allergies, the number of bottles administered, and the name and initials of the nurse. Differences in documentation and knowledge scores were observed before and after the mentorship activity (p<0.05). Mentorship proved effective in optimizing the documentation of infusion fluids and increasing knowledge.
