Therefore, nurses should have enough knowledge, a positive attitude and appropriate practices to assess and diagnose ocular disorders among ICU patients correctly.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Aim<\/jats:title>\n To assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of ICU nurses about eye care and the associated factors.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Study Design<\/jats:title>\n In this analytical cross\u2010sectional study, the data collection tool consisted of a two\u2010part questionnaire: demographic details and a 35\u2010item assessment of knowledge, attitudes and performance in eye care, covering these three domains. Data were analysed in SPSS version 23 using the Mann\u2013Whitney and Kruskal\u2013Wallis tests.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 244 nurses were enrolled using a census sampling method. The results indicated that the knowledge scores of the nurses were below the average (7\u2009\u00b1\u20092.8), attitude within the desirable range (31.3\u2009\u00b1\u20093.3) and practice scores above the average (41.6\u2009\u00b1\u20096.1). There is a significant positive correlation of the nurses' practice scores with attitude scores (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.477,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009\u2264\u20090.001) and not with knowledge scores (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.665). Positive attitudes (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.885,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009\u2264\u20090.001), the presence of eye care protocols in ICUs (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20092.204,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.002) and completion of eye care training courses (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20092.219,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.023) positively influenced the nurses' practice scores.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n To address gaps in nurses' knowledge, attitudes and performance regarding eye care, our findings support implementing targeted educational interventions (e.g., simulation\u2010based training) and adopting evidence\u2010based protocols in intensive care units.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Relevance to Clinical Practice<\/jats:title>\n Strengthening ICU nurses\u2019 awareness and skills in eye care through standardized training and evidence\u2010based protocols can improve patient safety and care quality. Integrating eye care into routine nursing education supports consistent best practice in intensive care settings.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/nicc.70283","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,14]],"date-time":"2026-01-14T09:45:51Z","timestamp":1768383951000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Intensive Care Nurses' Awareness, Attitudes and Practices Related to Eye Care"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Mehrnaz","family":"Kooshanfar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shahid Beheshti Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery Guilan University of Medical Science Rasht Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2115-598X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sadra","family":"Ashrafi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmic Research Center, Research Institute for Ophthalmology and Vision Science Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Atefeh","family":"Ghanbari Khanghah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical\u2010Surgical Nursing, Social Determinants of Health Research Center, Shahid Beheshti Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery Guilan University of Medical Sciences Rasht Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ehsan","family":"Kazemnezhad Leyli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, School of Health Guilan University of Medical Sciences Rasht Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5951-0115","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tahereh","family":"Khaleghdoost Mohammadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical\u2010Surgical Nursing, Shahid Beheshti Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery Guilan University of Medical Sciences Rasht Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,14]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_15_2_1","first-page":"171","article-title":"Evaluating Intensive Care Nurses' Clinical Competence in Eye Care; a Cross\u2010Sectional Descriptive Study","volume":"9","author":"Ebadi A.","year":"2021","journal-title":"Health Education and Health Promotion"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/6669538"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_15_4_1","first-page":"44","article-title":"Comparison of Three Eye Care Methods in the Incidence of Keratitis in Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Units","volume":"13","author":"fazljoo S.
