Almost all participants were women (96%), and most (82%) had a non\u2010nursing educational background. Mean self\u2010perceived knowledge of medication administration via EFT was 6.7 (on a 0\u201310 scale). On average, 5.7 (SD 1.9) out of 13 questions were answered correctly. A nursing degree and previous education on medication administration via EFT were associated with significantly higher scores. Guideline recommendations regarding rinsing of used medicine cups (90% correct answers) and preparation of hard gelatin capsules (89%) were known best. Those regarding the use of protective equipment when crushing toxic substances (4% correct answers), crushing of sustained release and enteric\u2010coated dosage forms (6%), elevation of the patient's backrest (14%) and flushing of the EFT (15%) were known the least.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study identified a substantial lack of knowledge of guidelines for drug administration through EFT among staff of RCFs for people with ID.
