“…Moreover, the study found that attitude mediated between knowledge and practice, indicating that attitude influenced knowledge translation into behavior. These findings were consistent with the KAP theoretical model and previous findings [ 29 , 30 ]. According to the KAP model, dietary behavioral changes in HD patients involved three successive processes: knowledge acquisition, belief generation, and behavior formation.…”

Background Hemodialysis patients require a reasonable dietary intake to manage their disease progression effectively. However, there is limited research on these patients’ overall dietary knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) status. This study aimed to investigate the dietary KAP status and latent profiles in hemodialysis patients and identify sociodemographic and disease-related factors associated with these profiles and dietary practice. Methods A multicenter cross-sectional study involving 425 hemodialysis patients was conducted. A dietary KAP questionnaire in hemodialysis patients was used to evaluate the dietary KAP of the patients. A structural equation model was employed to analyze the correlations between dietary knowledge, attitude, and practice. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with dietary practice scores. Latent profile analysis was conducted to determine the latent profiles of dietary KAP, and binary logistic regression was used to explore the sociodemographic and disease-related characteristics associated with each KAP profile in hemodialysis patients. Results The normalized average scores for dietary knowledge, attitude, and practice in hemodialysis patients were 0.58, 0.82, and 0.58, respectively. The structural equation model revealed significant positive correlations between dietary knowledge and attitude, and attitude and practice. Attitude played an indirect effect between knowledge and practice. Gender, cerebrovascular disease, and dietary attitude scores were identified as independent influencing factors for dietary practice scores. Two dietary KAP profiles were developed: a profile with general knowledge and attitude but low practice (40.2%) and a profile with general knowledge and attitude and high practice (59.8%). Binary logistic regression analysis indicated gender and monthly income per household significantly predicted membership in each KAP profile. Conclusions The dietary practice of hemodialysis patients requires improvement. It is necessary to develop more individualized dietary interventions for these patients. Further exploration is needed to understand the motivation of patients to change their dietary behavior.

“…The significant correlations observed suggest that increasing patients' knowledge could positively influence their attitudes and practices. This aligns with Alghamdi et al and Zhang et al [ 38 , 39 ], who reported that informed patients are more likely to engage in screening practices. These consistent associations across different studies underline the importance of educational interventions to improve screening uptake.…”

“…KAP assessment questionnaires have been developed and used in highly prevalent malignancies such as cervical, prostate and gastrointestinal cancers [ 22 – 24 ]. A Chinese cross-sectional study among healthcare workers found moderate knowledge and positive attitudes regarding early gastrointestinal cancers [ 24 ]. The presence of good knowledge and a positive attitude were found to correlate with excellent practice in this survey.…”

Background Rare diseases are associated with unique challenges encountered in diagnosis, treatment and conduct of clinical research. Desmoid tumour (DT) is one such ultra-rare malignancy about which awareness among medical professionals remains limited. We developed a questionnaire to assess knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) among medical professionals on DT. Methods E-Delphi method was used for the assessment of KAP for DT amongst clinical experts (experience of >/= 3 years in DT). 22 open-ended statements were developed by the core research group using current consensus guidelines. In round 1, experts provided subjective feedback which was incorporated into a 35-item questionnaire. Round 2 entailed experts giving feedback as a 5-point Likert scale classified into agreement (median score >/=4), neutral (median score 3) and disagreement (median score <3). Feedback from Round 2 was incorporated and questions with neutral consensus were modified. Questions in Round 3 achieved consensus if >/= 75% participants agreed. Results 11 (64.7%) of 17 contacted experts responded in Round 1 including 6 (54.4%) who gave additional inputs and 5 (45.6%) who agreed to all statements. In round 2, 8 out of 11 experts responded to the 35-item questionnaire on knowledge ( n = 16), attitude ( n = 8) and practice ( n = 11). 32 questions obtained agreement and 3 (8.5%) had neutral consensus. These were modified for round 3, in which consensus on 2 (66.6%) was attained. The final questionnaire comprises 34 items with 15, 8 and 11 questions on in the sections of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP), respectively.
