Our study aims to explore the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) and its influencing factors of medication among residents in Haikou, the capital city of Hainan Province, and inform the development of interventions to reduce residents' medication errors.
A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the KAP of medication among Haikou residents and its influencing factors from March to September 2019.
A total of 471 valid questionnaires were collected (245 online and 226 offline), with an effective recovery rate of 94.2%. The average score of KAP of medication were 52.2±13.08, 27.34±8.14, and 51.54±9.22, respectively. The knowledge score reached "good" in the evaluation criteria of the questionnaire, and the attitude and practice scores were "fair". Multiple linear regression analysis revealed the medication knowledge increased with age; a lower education degree was associated with less knowledge and more medication errors, and a higher education level was associated with more access to medication knowledge.
Education on rational drug use should be performed via multiple ways to promote rational drug use and reduce risky medication behaviors, particularly among residents with low education degrees, e.g., drug counseling and guidance, regularly push medication science popularization, public welfare lecture on rational drug use, organize and compile popular science books.
本研究旨在探讨海南省省会海口市居民的用药知识、态度和实践（KAP）及其影响因素，为减少居民用药错误的干预措施的制定提供依据。
采用横断面问卷调查法，于 2019 年 3 月至 9 月调查海口市居民的用药 KAP 及其影响因素。
共回收有效问卷 471 份（线上 245 份，线下 226 份），有效回收率为 94.2%。用药知识、态度和实践得分分别为（52.2±13.08）分、（27.34±8.14）分和（51.54±9.22）分。问卷评价标准中知识维度评分达到“良好”，态度和实践维度评分均为“中等”。多因素线性回归分析显示，用药知识随年龄增长而增加；文化程度越低，知识水平越低，用药错误越多；文化程度越高，获取用药知识的途径越多。
应通过多种途径开展合理用药教育，促进合理用药，减少风险用药行为，尤其是针对文化程度较低的居民，如开展用药咨询和指导、定期推送用药科普、举办合理用药公益讲座、编印科普书籍等。
