Abstract:
This study investigates the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of ICU nurses regarding blood glucose management in critically ill patients, providing insights for enhancing the quality of care. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 310 ICU nurses from 5 top-tier general hospitals in Mianyang City, utilizing a general information questionnaire and a specialized survey on blood glucose management in ICU settings. The ICU nurses' scores in the knowledge, attitude, and practice dimensions of blood glucose management were (32.56 ± 10.58), (49.75 ± 7.41), and (58.83 ± 7.99) points, respectively. The total KAP score was (141.14 ± 21.16), indicating a moderate level. Multiple linear regression analysis identified gender, availability of blood glucose management protocols, participation in blood glucose management training, and whether served as a clinical teacher qualifications as significant factors influencing ICU nurses' KAP (P < .05). There is an urgent need to improve the KAP levels of ICU nurses in blood glucose management for critically ill patients. Hospital administrators should implement targeted training programs tailored to the characteristics of ICU nurses to enhance the quality of blood glucose management and ensure patient safety.
