“…These findings were agreed with study carried out in the Unite State American; the purpose was to implement an educational program regarding nasogastric tube feeding on 50 critical care nurses from 3 various critical care units to evaluate its effect, the results implied significant increment in mean score of knowledge post program implementation Bourgault et al [20] & Al kalaldeh. [21] From the talking with nurses at the implementation of the educational program, studied sample clarifying that the major the reasons related to inadequate knowledge regarding nasogastric tube feeding were the minimized the hospital instruments and guideline written protocols related to nasogastric tube feeding management at neonates' intensive care units. Shortage knowledge was founded regarding using of internet resources act as a main factor at lack nasogastric tube feeding knowledge.…”

Objective: This study was to assess the effectiveness of educational program on nurses' knowledge level and their practices about nasogastric tube feeding at neonatal intensive care units. Methods: Settings: The study was conducted at Banha Specialized Pediatric Hospital and Banha University Hospital, from neonatal intensive care units. Research design: A quasi-experimental design. Sample: A convenient sample method of eighty three (83) as a one study group. Tools: The questionnaire format, the observation checklist and construction of educational program which were developed by the researchers to assessment for the knowledge and practice for nurses' related to nasogastric tube feeding. The educational program was designed serves as a referral instructional for nurses. Results: Implied that the educational program was having a positive effect, on enhance nurses' knowledge and practice related to nasogastric tube feeding at neonatal intensive care units. Conclusions: The present study recommended that an administrating a written protocol of nasogastric tube feeding to assure sufficient knowledge, and saved practices are really needed at neonatal intensive care units.

“…This descriptive cross sectional study employed nurses from four hospitals in Jordan; two governmental hospitals and two private hospitals. It is assumed that there are many differences between heath care sectors in Jordan in terms of medical protocols and nursing practice (22). For that reason, nurses in different heath care sectors may exhibit 92 various level of adherence to nutritional assessment tools.…”

“…In Jordan, critical care nurses have no obvious role regarding nutritional care (22). While dietitians are available in the most of Jordanian hospitals, nurses often hold the responsibility for early detecting the sings of under-nutrition and assessing the outcomes of the delivered feeding although lack of expertise and training is sometime evident (23,24).…”

Introduction: Nutritional assessment is a prerequisite for nutritional delivery. Patients in intensive care suffer from under-nutrition and nutritional failure due to poor assessment. Nursing ability to early detect nutritional failure is the key for minimizing imparities in practice and attaining nutritional goals. Aim of this article is to examine the ability of Jordanian ICU nurses to assess the nutritional status of critically ill patients, considering biophysical and biochemical measures.Methods: This cross sectional study recruited nurses from different health sectors in Jordan. ICU nurses from the governmental sector (two hospitals) and private sectors (two hospitals) were surveyed using a self-administered questionnaire. Nurses' knowledge and responsibility towards nutritional assessment were examined.Results: A total of 220 nurses from both sectors have completed the questionnaire. Nurses were consistent in regard to knowledge, responsibility, and documentation of nutritional assessment. Nurses in the governmental hospitals inappropriately perceived the application of aspiration reduction measures. However, they scored higher in applying physical examination and anthropometric assessment. Although both nurses claimed higher use of biochemical measurements, biophysical measurements were less frequently used. Older nurses with longer clinical experience exhibited better adherence to biophysical measurement than younger nurses.Conclusion: Nursing nutritional assessment is still suboptimal to attain nutritional goals. Assessment of body weight, history of nutrition intake, severity of illness, and function of gastrointestinal tract should be considered over measuring albumin and pre-albumin levels. A well-defined evidence-based protocol as well as a multidisciplinary nutritional team for nutritional assessment is the best to minimize episodes of under-nutrition.

“…These guidelines and expert consensus, are largely developed in the context of North American and European practices. However, critically ill patients in the ICU in the AsiaePacific and Middle East regions may not be subject to the same principles of nutrition management due to differences in culture, nutrition prior to entering the ICU and overall healthcare accessibility [5].…”
