The objective of the study was to evaluate the position of patient education measuring knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among health care workers (HCWs). It is also aimed to emphasize the need for a real position for patient education. This survey was performed among a group of HCWs in Iran. The scores had an acceptable level. However, nurses, females and younger people received higher scores. The staff was already aware of patient education necessity and considered it as the duty of all medical team. Often HCWs cannot include patient education in their routine due to time shortage, lack of staff's financial motivation, fatigue, and loads of work, etc. There is still need for a real training in the educational curriculum. Additionally, the various HCWs-related obstacles should be taken into account.
该研究的目的是评估医护人员对患者教育（测量知识、态度和实践，即KAP）的重视程度。其还旨在强调患者教育实际地位的必要性。这项调查在伊朗的一组医护人员中进行。得分处于可接受水平。然而，护士、女性和年轻人得分更高。工作人员已经意识到患者教育的必要性，并将其视为所有医疗团队的职责。由于时间短缺、缺乏工作人员的经济激励、疲劳和工作量大等原因，医护人员常常无法将患者教育纳入日常工作。教育课程仍需要进行实际培训。此外，还应考虑与医护人员相关的各种障碍。
