Objective: To evaluate the effect of an educational intervention based on the I-DECIDED® tool on the knowledge of pediatric nursing professionals regarding the peripheral intravenous catheter. Method: A quasi-experimental before-and-after study conducted in a pediatric inpatient unit in Southern Brazil, with the participation of 27 nursing professionals between 2023 and 2024. Data collection occurred in two stages: pre-intervention and post-intervention. A pre- and post-intervention questionnaire composed of 49 questions was applied, of which 19 were analyzed in this study, addressing complications, infection prevention, and coverage/stabilization of the peripheral intravenous catheter. The educational intervention included a theoretical presentation of the I-DECIDED® tool, low-fidelity simulation, and provision of educational materials. Results: An increase in correct answers was observed post-intervention in 11 (68.8%) of the questions related to peripheral intravenous catheter assessment. In the self-assessment questions, all responses progressed from “partially agree” to “totally agree.” Conclusion: The educational intervention based on the I-DECIDED® tool resulted in an increase in correct responses after the intervention, indicating improved knowledge among professionals regarding complications, infection prevention, and coverage/stabilization of the peripheral intravenous catheter.
