This study aimed to determine incidence of phlebitis associated with osmolarity in Pediatric's wards of hospitals in Banjarmasin.This cohort study used analytic observational with a sample of 80 people used consecutive sampling technique with predetermined criteria. The instruments used were observation sheet respondents and Visual Infusion phlebitis Scale (VIP Scale). Data were analyzed using chi square test. There was a significant association between osmolarity with the incidence of phlebitis (p <0.05). This study recommend that nurses and medical personnel need to consider the osmolarity is given through a peripheral IV catheter
