This study aimed to determine the practices of nurses working in pediatric and adult oncology clinics regarding totally implantable venous access device (TIVAD) care. The descriptive study was conducted with 227 oncology nurse members of the Oncology Nursing Association. The data were collected online with a survey form, which included questions about the participants’ sociodemographic characteristics, professional experience, and TIVAD implementation practices. Descriptive statistics and ꭓ2 tests were used for the analysis of the data. It was determined that 44.1% of the nurses used 0.9% NaCl for active TIVAD flushing; 15.9% of them used a positive-pressure 0.9% NaCl-filled syringe; 12.3% used antireflux connectors; 85.5% used manual positive pressure technique; and 53.7% used the pulsatile technique. A statistical difference was found between nurses’ training on TIVAD care and TIVAD occlusion rate in the clinic, TIVAD infection rate, following the guidelines, and using the pulsatile technique (P < .05). This study revealed that there are differences in the practices for TIVAD care and that the recommendations in the literature/guidelines are not implemented at the desired level to ensure continuity and prevent complications.
