An enteral nutrition education program significantly improved critical care nurses' knowledge and practices in South Korea. This training enhances support for critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs).

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Nursing
  • Clinical Nutrition
  • Healthcare Education

Background:

  • International guidelines for enteral nutrition in intensive care units (ICUs) are not consistently followed in clinical practice.
  • A need exists for educational interventions to improve nurses' understanding and application of enteral nutrition guidelines for critically ill patients.
  • No prior studies in South Korea have investigated educational interventions for evidence-based enteral nutrition in ICUs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of an educational program on critical care nurses' perceptions, knowledge, and practices regarding enteral nutrition.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a targeted education initiative in improving enteral feeding support for intensive care unit patients.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental, pre- and post-test study design was employed.

  • 205 nurses from nine ICUs across four tertiary hospitals in South Korea participated.
  • Data were collected via questionnaires before and one month after a two-session didactic lecture program.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvements were observed in nurses' perceptions and knowledge of enteral nutrition for ICU patients post-intervention.
    • Key practice improvements included daily nostril inspection, pre-administration feeding tube flushing, correct medication crushing, timely feeding set changes, and adjusted feeding schedules.
    • The education program demonstrated a positive effect on specific, measurable nursing practices related to enteral feeding.

    Conclusions:

    • An enteral nutrition education program is an effective strategy to enhance critical care nurses' support for critically ill patients.
    • Implementing such programs in hospital or in-service training can strengthen nurses' knowledge and perceptions of ICU nutritional support.
    • Improved nursing practices in enteral nutrition have the potential to positively influence clinical outcomes for ICU patients.
