This study to analyze the effect of the location of infusion, intravenous catheter size, duration of infusion, and type of dressing, on the study of phlebitis in hospitalized children between the ages of 1 and 10 years. The cross-sectional study with 144 child-age respondents from 1 month to 10 years of age, selected by simple random sampling. The data was collected to assess installation location data, intravenous catheter size, duration of infusion and type of dressing. The data was used to determine the predictor factors that affected the incidence of phlebitis in hospitalized children by using multiple linear regression. The level of significance was set at P <0.05. The results of multiple linear regression demonstrate that the location and duration of infusion were more influential on the incidence of infusion in children aged from 1 month to 10 years. More specifically, Y = 1,737 + 0,600 X1 + 2.427X2 + 0,400X3 + 4,601 X4, whereby Y is the incidence of phlebitis, 1.737 is the coefficient value, X1 (0.600) is the location of installation, X2 (2,427) is the size of the catheter, X3 (0,400) is the length of installation and X4 (4,601) is the type of dressing. The incidence of phlebitis in children aged from 1 to month to 10 years who were admitted to a private hospital in East Java, Indonesia, was more influenced by the location factor of infusion and duration of infusion. Therefore, the standard of infusion installation and treatment prioritized as peptic principles.
