Abstract：Objective:To investigate the knowledge,attitude and behavior of nurses in intensive care unit(ICU)on mechanical ventilation nebulization and its influencing factors.To provide the basis for regulating the operation of me-chanical ventilation atomizing inhalation therapy.Methods:A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the knowledge and practice of 141 ICU nurses in 7 secondary and tertiary general hospitals in sichuan province from No-vember 3 to December 28,2023 by convenience sampling method.Results:The scores of mechanical ventilation nebuliza-tion knowledge,attitude and behavior were(64.52±15.34)points,(87.10±13.77)points and(77.40±17.37)points,respectively.The qualified rates were 60.77％,100.00％and 86.92％,respectively.The results of multiple line-ar regression analysis showed that the professional title and whether to participate in mechanical ventilation nebulization therapy training were the influential factors of ICU nurses'knowledge and practice of nebulization therapy(P＜0.05).Conclusion:ICU nurses in sichuan province had a positive attitude towards mechanical ventilation nebulization therapy,but their theoretical knowledge was relatively poor and they lacked standardized operating procedures.Nursing manag-ers should strengthen the training of mechanical ventilation nebulization treatment knowledge and clinical practice,espe-cially the nurses with low seniority.
