By He Q, Ni W, Miao M and 6 others.
Abstract
Background
Enteral nutrition (EN) is essential for critically ill patients, yet enteral nutrition interruption (ENI) is common in intensive care unit (ICU) and compromises nutrient delivery. ENI reflects clinical conditions, workflows, team collaboration, and bedside implementation, but how knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) interact remains unclear.
Objective
To assess ENI-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices among ICU healthcare professionals, predominantly nurses, and examine their interrelationships and associations with training, demographic, and organizational factors.
