Data were collected through one\u2010to\u2010one semi\u2010structured interviews between January and April 2026. Interviews were audio\u2010recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis.

Nurses experienced spinal safety as a continuous concern embedded in routine ICU care, including coordinating high\u2010risk logrolling and transfer, recognising neurological changes with limited confidence and balancing positioning, orthosis use and pressure\u2010injury risks. They also described interrelated physiological needs, frequent and precise patient needs, rehabilitation limits, uncertain prognosis, reliance on team support and more vigilant, anticipatory and holistic care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Caring for patients with spinal trauma and disorders in ICUs requires nurses to balance spinal safety, critical illness management, high dependency care and emotional support.
