About this study
Official title: Physician Knowledge Level of Intravenous Fluid Therapy in Hospitals: A Cross-Sectional Study
The administration of intravenous fluids plays a crucial role in critically ill patients to support optimal management and ensure patient safety. Knowledge and conceptual frameworks will influence a clinician's accuracy in providing intravenous fluid therapy to patients. Accurate administration of fluid therapy to patients will reduce unwanted side effects and decrease the overall treatment costs during hospitalization. Various considerations in administering intravenous fluid therapy are influenced by a clinician's level of knowledge. In Indonesia, doctors working in hospitals may have different levels of education and professional status. However, it is currently unclear whether these professional differences among doctors influence their knowledge in administering fluids to patients.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
QuestionnaireOther
This questionnaire consists of (five) main parts. The first part is about personal information, the second part is about fluid administration in various settings (emergency room, operating room, and intensive care unit), the third part is about fluid administration behaviors, the fourth part is about workplace location, and the fifth part is about a case study. Filling out this questionnaire will take approximately 60 minutes of your time.

Questionnaire regarding Physician Knowledge Level of Intravenous fluid therapy
Intravenous Fluid Therapy knowledge Scoring
The principle for scoring these scales is the same in all cases:
- Estimate the average of the items that contribute to the scale; this is the raw score. Calculating the raw score=(I1+I2+I3+…+In)/n.
- Use a linear transformation to standardize the raw score, so that scores range from 0 to 100; a higher score represents a higher ("better") level of knowledge. Formula use for standardization: Knowledge Score = {1-(Raw score-1)/range} X100
The maximum score is 100 (better outcome) The minimum score is 0 (worse outcome)
All the information related to intravenous fluid therapy is divided into five domains: (1) basic knowledge about electrolyte fluids, (2) intravenous fluid administration, (3) intravenous fluid composition, (4) fluid resuscitation, and (5) assessment of fluid volume status.
Measured: one day

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Questionnaire regarding Physician Knowledge Level of Intravenous fluid therapy (time frame: one day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05964283, which also lists 7 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 May 2025.
