Summary

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.
