Data extracted from six randomly selected focus group participants
| Neutral comments | Positive comments | Negative comments |
|---|---|---|
| [I] would want more practice with applying the StatLock device before using it in a clinical setting | “[I] am motivated to use StatLock after witnessing multiple coworkers experience fingersticks | Time is of the essence. [I] don't want to wait for StatLock to dry when sutures are faster, more efficient, more comfortable |
| After using the StatLock device just one time, one resident found that the placement of the StatLock device was quicker than suturing the CVC | Some residents were hesitant to use the device because the nurses and other practitioners lacked knowledge of the device | |
| Two of the 6 residents reported that they valued the StatLock device in certain situations when they were more likely to incur an NSI. One stated this was particularly useful when the patient is unpredictable or unwilling to lie still | The admitting team was confused, did not know what device was, and [was] concerned over whether StatLock would stay in place | |
| One stated that the device may be useful especially for patients who form keloids | Resistance to StatLock due to familiarity with suturing, especially among surgical residents |
