Background<p>To investigate the current status of knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding oxygen therapy among clinical nurses in Anhui Province (with a predominantly nursing sample), analyze the associated factors, and provide a basis for developing targeted training strategies.</p>Methods<p>Using convenience sampling, 1,172 clinical nurses from 24 hospitals in Anhui Province were selected from August to December 2025.

A self-developed “Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Survey on Oxygen Therapy for Clinical Nurses” was used, and associated factors were analyzed using multiple linear regression.</p>Results<p>The standardized scores for nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported practices were (75.28 ± 9.03), (85.77 ± 11.71), and (79.99 ± 14.82), respectively. Multiple linear regression showed that gender, occupation, professional title, and hospital level were associated with the knowledge dimension (p < 0.05); occupation, education level, hospital level, and participation in oxygen therapy training were associated with the attitude dimension (p < 0.05); and attitude, professional title, years of work, and participation in training were associated with the practice dimension (p < 0.05).
