    Abstract

    Background: Nutritional support in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a critical component of patient care, influencing recovery outcomes significantly. The perspectives and practices of health care professionals (HCPs) regarding nutrition in the ICU environment are diverse and impact patient management. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 100 HCPs, including dieticians, physicians, and nurses, working in the ICU. The study employed a structured questionnaire to evaluate their perspectives and practices related to nutritional support in the ICU. Results: The study revealed a wide range of practices and perspectives among HCPs regarding nutritional support in ICU patients. It highlighted the importance of multidisciplinary approaches and the need for standardized guidelines to enhance patient care. Conclusion: This study underscores the variability in nutritional practices in the ICU among HCPs and suggests the need for comprehensive guidelines and education to unify care standards and improve patient outcomes.
