Aim: To identify the intensive care unit nurses' (ICU) knowledge, attitudes, and practices of oral care in orally intubated patients.

Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational design was used to describe the current knowledge, attitudes, and practice of oral care among ICU nurses' in two university-affiliated teaching hospitals, using a self-administered questionnaire that was developed by Lin et al., (2011) and Soh et al., (2011).

Results: A total of 135 questionnaires were analyzed and showed that the mean percentages of critical care unit nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices of oral care were 53.6%, 67.5%, and 43.25% respectively. The main source of learning regarding oral care for intubated patients was the senior nurses in their units followed by nursing school, also, nurses who had more than one source for learning about oral care had greater knowledge regarding oral care, and performed oral care practices more frequently. The results also indicated that the nurses did not have adequate knowledge and clear perception about the characteristics of various oral cleaning solutions and the effective equipment that is used to remove dental plaque.

Conclusion: The study results provide insight into oral care in ICU nurses' and the need for protocol development, implementation, and evaluation; moreover, enhancing nurses to get knowledge about oral care from different educational sources to improve their practices.
