Learning better port-a-catheter care for chemo
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial teaches nurses how to better care for a port-a-catheter (a small device placed under the skin to give chemotherapy). It looks at whether special training helps nurses improve their skills. If you are a nurse with at least one year of experience in an oncology unit, this might be for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a nurse with at least 1 year working in cancer care or chemotherapy units.
- Currently work in an oncology center or unit that uses port-a-catheters.
- Have at least 6 months of experience (not less than that).

This trial is testing a new computer program designed to teach intensive care unit (ICU) nurses about chemotherapy and improve their confidence in giving chemo to patients. It's not a treatment trial for patients, but a study to help nurses learn better.
This study focuses on the best way to maintain a fully implanted vein catheter (a port used for chemotherapy). It may help reduce complications and improve how safely your catheter is maintained after chemotherapy ends.
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) training helps nursing students learn to care for implanted port catheters (a small tube placed under the skin for giving medicines). It is designed to improve their skills in a safe, simulated environment.
This trial tests whether a special care bundle with a germ-killing dressing can reduce infections in children with port or central line catheters. It may help keep your child safer during treatment.
This study tests an online training program (e-learning) to improve nurses' knowledge and skills in giving cancer treatments safely. If you are a nurse who gives these treatments to adult patients, this program may help you feel more confident and up-to-date.
This study looks at how well a chemotherapy port in the right side of the neck works for people with breast cancer, depending on whether the cancer is on the right or left side. The goal is to see if port placement outcomes differ, which could help choose the best approach for each patient.
