Abstract

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Map existing research and describe the consumer/caregiver experience of community-based intravenous treatment, central venous access devices (CVADs), supportive care needs, and information preferences. Design: Scoping review. Methods: Five databases (Joanna Briggs Institute, Cochrane library, Emcare, Embase, and Medline) were searched. Screening and data extraction were performed independently by two reviewers. Findings: Forty-eight studies were included Conclusions: Although community-based intravenous treatment and CVADs have a significant impact on consumers and caregivers, there is scant research on their supportive care needs and information preferences. Clinical Evidence: Some consumers and caregivers may require additional support while undergoing community-based intravenous treatment.
