Abstract Background The nutritional status of older adults requires focused attention. In Chinese nursing homes, nursing assistants are often the primary caregivers responsible for the daily care of older adults, and their knowledge and attitudes toward nutrition play a fundamental role in providing adequate nutritional care. However, research on the knowledge and attitudes of nursing assistants is limited, despite the fact that these factors play a fundamental role in providing adequate nutritional practices. Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of nursing assistants in nursing homes and to analyze the influencing factors. Method This cross-sectional study was conducted from January to September 2023, involving 692 nursing assistants from 76 nursing homes in Shanghai. We used validated Nutrition Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Questionnaire for nursing assistants. Results The findings indicated that the mean scores for nutritional knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 45.07 ± 16.18, 76.22 ± 10.03, and 69.94 ± 21.46, respectively. Notably, the mean score for nutritional knowledge was the lowest, with 66.04% of nursing assistants scored below 50% accuracy.
