Objective To investigate the knowledge,attitude and practice of non-intensive care unit（ICU）nurses about pulmonary rehabilitation of hospitalized bedridden elderly patients,and to explore the influencing factors．Methods A self-designed questionnaire on the status of knowledge,attitude and practice about pulmonary rehabilitation of bedridden elderly patients was used to investigate 555 non-ICU nurses in our hospital．Results A total of 513 valid questionnaires were collected．The total score of pulmonary rehabilitation was（76.01±12.27）,and the scores of knowledge,attitude and practice were（14.09±3.25）,（21.89±3.38）and（40.03±9.87）,respectively．Multiple regression analysis showed that the main factors affecting nurses' knowledge,attitude and practice in implementing pulmonary rehabilitation for hospitalized elderly bedridden patients were nursing age,whether they had participated in training related to pulmonary rehabilitation and whether pulmonary rehabilitation had been carried out in the unit（P<0.05）．Conclusions Non-ICU nurses have positive attitudes and good practice toward pulmonary rehabilitation for bedridden elderly patients,but their knowledge needs to be improved．It is recommended that training on pulmonary rehabilitation for the bedridden elderly be carried out to motivate nurses to learn new concepts of pulmonary rehabilitation,strengthen the link between theory and clinical practice,and improve the quality of clinical care．
