Abstract：Objective:To investigate the current status and influencing factors of knowledge,attitude,and practice(KAP)regarding mechanical ventilation nebulization inhalation among ICU nurses,and to provide a basis for standardizing the nursing practice of nebulization inhalation in mechanically ventilated patients.Methods:A self-designed questionnaire on knowledge,attitude,and practice(KAP)of mechanical ventilation nebulization inhalation was distributed to ICU nurses from 16 hospitals in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region using the convenience sampling method in February 2025.Results:A total of 485 ICU nurses were included.The scores for the knowledge,attitude,and practice dimensions were(69.83±15.14),(83.65±8.75),and(84.27±13.30)points,respectively.The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the frequency of mechanical ventilation nebulization inhalation training,nurses'work experience,and operational experience were influencing factors for knowledge of mechanical ventilation nebulization inhalation.The frequency of training and operational experience influenced attitude of mechanical ventilation nebulization inhalation,while gender,knowledge and attitude of mechanical ventilation nebulization inhalation influenced practice toward mechanical ventilation nebulization inhalation.Conclusion:ICU nurses demonstrated positive attitudes and practices toward mechanical ventilation nebulization inhalation,but their knowledge remained incomplete.It is recommended to implement stratified training programs tailored to nurse demographics to enhance knowledge,thereby improving attitudes and practices,and ensuring the safety of nebulization therapy for critically ill patients.
