Among the various nursing tasks associated with encountering these patients, the administration of nasogastric tube feeding under restraint stands out. It is crucial to recognise and address the unique practical and ethical challenges nurses face when caring for adults struggling with severe anorexia nervosa. The aim of the study was to gain a deeper understanding of registered nurses\u2019 experience of nasogastric tube feeding under restraint in hospitalised patients with severe anorexia nervosa.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A naturalistic design guided this study.
