Abstract：Objective To investigate the current status of knowledge,attitudes and practices(KAP)regarding refeeding syndrome(RFS)among intensive care unit(ICU)nurses and analyze the influencing factors.Methods In October 2024,a cross-sectional study was conducted in 246 ICU nurses in Lianyungang City.Data were collected using a general information questionnaire and the"Nursing KAP Questionnaire on Enteral Nutrition Refeeding Syndrome".Independent samples t-tests,one-way ANOVA,and multiple linear regression were used for statistical analysis.Results The total KAP score of ICU nurses regarding RFS was(79.51±8.14),with knowledge(14.59±5.77),attitude(30.10±3.61),and practice(34.51±3.31)dimensions all at moderate levels.Univariate analysis showed that education level,professional title,specialist nurse status,and prior RFS training significantly influenced KAP scores(P<0.05).Multiple regression analysis indicated that higher education level(β=0.388,P<0.001),higher professional title(β=0.207,P=0.024),and receiving RFS training(β=0.375,P<0.001)were independent positive predictors of KAP levels.Conclusion The KAP level of ICU nurses regarding RFS needs improvement.It is recommended to implement stratified training for nurses with lower education levels and junior professional titles,and to incorporate RFS knowledge into continuing education programs to optimize clinical practice.
