    Abstract
  •   Objective  To comprehensively search, evaluate, and integrate the best evidence for nurse-led adult nasogastric tube feeding care, providing a theoretical basis for evidence-based practice in nasogastric feeding care for nursing staff.  Methods  Based on the "6S" evidence model, a systematic search was conducted on relevant guideline websites and databases both domestically and internationally. Chinese databases included: China Biology Medicine disc, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Yimai Guide Network, and DXY. English databases included: BMJ, Up To Date, JBI, PubMed, Cochrane Library, ASPEN, ESPEN, BAPEN, AGA nutrition societies, GIN, NGC, NICE, and so on. The search period was from the establishment of the databases to September 2023.  Results  A total of 14 articles were included, consisting of 7 guidelines, 2 clinical decisions, 1 expert consensus, and 4 systematic reviews. Nine themes were summarized and integrated, totaling 21 pieces of evidence, including organization and management, assessment and screening, pre-feeding preparation, feeding implementation procedures, feeding monitoring, traditional Chinese medicine nursing, feeding equipment management, feeding termination criteria, and health education.  Conclusion  This study summarized and integrated the best evidence for nurse-led nasogastric tube feeding for patients requiring enteral nutrition, providing clinical nursing staff with an evidence-based, comprehensive nasogastric feeding operational process. Practitioners should combine the evidence with clinical context, enhance the evidence-based practice capabilities of nursing staff, and selectively apply the best evidence to improve the quality of nasogastric feeding care and patient nutritional status and outcomes.
