SUMMARY:

Introduction: Hospital malnutrition is a prevalent but often overlooked condition that significantly affects the clinical outcomes of hospitalized patients. It is estimated that 30% to 50% of hospitalized patients have some degree of malnutrition, which contributes to increased length of stay, risk of complications, and mortality. Enteral nutrition therapy (ENT) is an effective strategy for the prevention and treatment of this condition, provided that its application is conducted with technical knowledge and multidisciplinary integration. However, there are still gaps in the management of ENT by healthcare professionals, which highlights the need for educational actions aimed at qualifying the healthcare team. In this sense, health education becomes an essential tool for updating and strengthening clinical practices, promoting safer and more effective nutritional care. Justification: The qualification of professionals who work directly with patients on ENT is essential for the prevention of hospital malnutrition. The integration of educational practices based on the principles of continuing health education enables a participatory, critical, and transformative approach. As the hospital is an internship field for medical students and students in other health areas, it is possible to develop teaching actions aimed at both training and continuous improvement of the team, promoting safer and more effective practices. Objective: To develop teaching activities for healthcare professionals, focusing on the prevention and treatment of hospital malnutrition in patients undergoing enteral nutrition therapy. Methodology: This is an action research study with a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive approach, which will be conducted with healthcare professionals working in a hospital unit who routinely use ENT. The research will be developed in four stages: situational diagnosis of the professionals' prior knowledge, planning of interventions, implementation of educational actions, and creation of a booklet as the final technical product. The study will be conducted in accordance with the ethical precepts of Resolutions No. 466/2012 and 580/18 of the National Health Council and must be approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Expected results: The study is expected to contribute to identifying gaps in knowledge about EN, training the team, and raising awareness about the role of enteral nutrition in preventing hospital malnutrition. The production of practical educational material may also strengthen multidisciplinary care and reduce the incidence of adverse events related to nutrition, positively impacting the quality of care provided.
