Many people continue long\u2010term tube\u2010feeding via this route in the community where healthcare professionals contribute to their care and nutritional management, although little is known about their experiences of or attitudes towards enteral feeding in this situation. The present study aimed to explore the experiences and attitudes of healthcare professionals working with this patient group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Healthcare professionals were invited to complete a questionnaire devised for the study which comprised closed and open questions about tube\u2010feeding including their patients' participation in feeding processes and mealtimes and how these might be improved. Responses to closed questions were analysed descriptively and free\u2010text responses analysed using thematic analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fifty\u2010seven participants met the inclusion criteria. They identified patients' quality of life (77% of respondents) and nutritional support (75%) as the most important aspects of tube\u2010feeding. Good communication and training with healthcare teams and carers were considered important. Their patients' participation in tube\u2010feed administration and mealtime involvement were described as variable and potentially beneficial, but both were related to patients' choice and health impairment. Blended tube\u2010feeding was considered an option by 89% provided practical and safety conditions were met.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants' experiences of and attitudes towards tube feeding in adults living with stroke in the community in the sample in the present study are varied and focussed on individual patients' needs, safety and professional standards.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jhn.13320","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,23]],"date-time":"2024-05-23T06:06:19Z","timestamp":1716444379000},"page":"1050-1060","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["An exploration of the experiences and attitudes of healthcare professionals towards enteral tube feeding for adults living in the community following stroke"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7221-6818","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Eleftheriadis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life and Medical Sciences, University of Hertfordshire and Therapies Department North Middlesex University Hospital Trust Hatfield, Hertfordshire UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6353-6492","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angela M.","family":"Madden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life and Medical Sciences University of Hertfordshire Hatfield, Hertfordshire UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clnu.2017.09.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"11","article-title":"Swallowing dysfunction after acute stroke: the incidence, predictors and outcome","volume":"71","author":"Londhe C","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Assoc Physicians India"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","unstructured":"National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).Nutrition support for adults: oral nutrition support enteral tube feeding and parenteral nutrition.CG 32.
