Knowledge and practices of neonatal intensive care unit nurses concerning hypothermia in preterm infants: A descriptive cross-sectional study.

254 nurses were recruited from 23 tertiary and secondary public hospitals in Shandong province. No public or patient involvement. Members of the research group used the Questionnaire Star platform to prepare the electronic questionnaire, including obtaining informed consent, taking precautions for questionnaire completion, and using the aforementioned measurement tools. The project research team contacted the head nurses of 23 neonatal intensive care units in Shandong Province. After obtaining consent from the head nurses, they were asked to send the requirements and link of the electronic questionnaire to their WeChat management group. The nurses go through each question and make a choice which has two options of 'agree' or 'disagree.' Based on their answers, nurses were evaluated as having 'mastered' or 'not mastered' each item. Each 'mastered' item (correct answer) was given a score of 4; an item 'not mastered' (incorrect answer) was given a score of 0. The total score ranged from 0 to 100.
