Abstract: ：Objective To understand the current status of ICU nurses' knowledge and beliefs about ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in secondary and above hospitals in the Jining area, and to analyze its influencing factors, in order to provide a theoretical basis for improving the current status of ICU nurses' ICU-AW knowledge and beliefs in the Jining area, as well as for the subsequent development of ICU-AW training.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select 204 ICU nurses from secondary and above hospitals in Jining City, China in September 2024, and the ICU nurses ICU-AW Knowledge, Belief, and Action questionnaire was used to investigate them.Results ICU nurses' ICU-AW knowledge score was (25.84 ± 8.20); ICU-AW attitude score was (30.08 ± 8.72); The ICU-AW behavior score was (22.02 ± 9.41).A comparison of ICU-AW knowledge scores among ICU nurses with different education levels and titles showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05); ICU-AW attitude scores of ICU nurses with varying ages, education levels, and titles also demonstrated statistically significant differences (P < 0.05).Conclusion ICU nurses' knowledge and behaviors regarding ICU-AW are at a low level, while their attitudes are at a high level in ICU nurses from level II and above hospitals in the Jining area.This indicates a need for enhanced education and training for ICU nurses in ICU-AW, as well as the promotion of clinical implementation of early ICU-AW prevention.Keywords：ICU nurse；Intensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness；Jining area；influencing factors
