knowledge, attitudeand practice (K-A-P) of cancer nutrition in Chinese medical staff
Objective: To investigate and understand knowledge, attitude, and practice (K-A-P) toward cancer nutrition among medical staff in China and to provide a basis for nutritional oncology training in order to improve clinical treatment.Method: This wasa multicenter, prospective, and observational study in 3036 clinicians from 138 hospitals in 13 provinces of China.KAP scores were collected via questionnaire.Results: Overall mean K score was 41.26 ± 23.68, with a pass rate of 35.31% and a good rate of 12.48%.Overall mean A score was 82.23 ± 12.63, with a pass rate of 96.57% and a good rate of 69.37%.Overall mean P score was 73.03 ± 15.06, with a pass rate of 85.64% and a good rate of 39.86%.The correlation coefficient between K and A scores was 0.136 (P < 0.05).Correlation coefficient between K and P scores was 0.179 (P <0.05).These results suggest a positive correlation between K and A, and K and P.While the pass rate for K score was higher in male staff than that in female staff (P <0.05), there was no significant difference for A and P scores between the two genders (P> 0.05).The K-A-P scores, and their associated pass rates and good rates were higher among doctors than those among nurses and medical technicians (P <0.05).Senior medical technicians had a higher K and P scores than their junior coworkers (P <0.05).However, there was no significant difference in A scores among medical technicians regardless of their ranks (P> 0.05).Mean K-A-P scores and their associated pass rates and good rates were superior in clinicians with higher degrees, compared with those with lower degrees (P <0.05).Surgeons had higher K-A-P scores,pass rates, and good rates than others (P <0.05).Those who worked in teaching hospitals showed higher K-A-P scores, pass rates, and good rates than their colleagues in other work settings.There was no significant difference in K and P scores, and associated pass rates and good rates when comparing medical staff from general hospitals with those from specialized oncology hospitals (P> 0.05).However, higher P score and associated pass rate were observed in staff from general hospitals (P <0.05).Over half (58.41%) of the medical staff spent less than 10% of their work time on nutritional education.About half (52.71%) of the medical staff expressed desires to work on nutritional research projects.Nutritional knowledge of medical staff primarily came from work experience (66.22%),professional books and journals (65.40%), and school (61.25%).Conclusion: While medical staff in China demonstrated positive attitude and good practice in nutritional therapy, they need more training to improve nutritional knowledge.
