This Longitudinal study, with an observational and quantitative approach, aimed to analyze the quality of nursing care in peripheral intravenous therapy, through the indicators, incidence of phlebitis, quality of coverage, and validity of the peripheral intravenous catheters. Data were collected from October 2012 to August 2013, in three units of a teaching hospital in the state of Paraná, Brazil, using a form created for this purpose. A total of 174 patients and 221 catheters were evaluated. The results indicated an incidence of phlebitis between 20% and 25.33%; identification and the validity of the venous accesses were classified as safe and adequate in the majority of cases, according to an analysis of the Positivity Index that classifies medical work. It was concluded that the evaluated indicators could mostly be interpreted as favorable for care quality.
