This study investigated the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of aesthetic medicine practitioners concerning laser and/or light therapy for hypertrophic scars. Conducted at Hebei Medical University Third Hospital from December 25, 2023, to January 7, 2024, the cross-sectional study utilized a self-administered questionnaire to gather socio-demographic data and KAP scores. A total of 424 valid questionnaires were collected, with 220 (52.26%) female participants. The mean scores were 27.24 ± 4.28 for knowledge (range 8-40), 34.14 ± 3.49 for attitude (range 9-45), and 26.22 ± 3.46 for practice (range 6-30). Significant positive correlations were observed between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.471, P < 0.001), knowledge and practice (r = 0.593, P < 0.001), and attitude and practice (r = 0.640, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that both knowledge (OR = 1.260, P < 0.001) and attitude scores (OR = 1.547, P < 0.001), along with the intermediate professional title (OR = 0.233, P = 0.042), were significantly associated with proactive practice. The findings indicate a need for targeted educational initiatives to enhance practitioners' knowledge in this area.
本研究调查了美容医学从业者对增生性瘢痕激光和/或光疗的知识、态度和实践（KAP）。这项横断面研究于2023年12月25日至2024年1月7日在河北医科大学第三医院进行，采用自填式问卷收集社会人口统计学数据和KAP得分。共收集到424份有效问卷，其中女性参与者220名（52.26%）。知识得分的平均值为27.24±4.28（范围8 - 40），态度得分为34.14±3.49（范围9 - 45），实践得分为26.22±3.46（范围6 - 30）。知识与态度之间（r = 0.471，P < 0.001）、知识与实践之间（r = 0.593，P < 0.001）以及态度与实践之间（r = 0.640，P < 0.001）均观察到显著的正相关。多因素逻辑回归显示，知识（OR = 1.260，P < 0.001）、态度得分（OR = 1.547，P < 0.001）以及中级职称（OR = 0.233，P = 0.042）均与积极实践显著相关。研究结果表明需要开展有针对性的教育活动，以提高从业者在该领域的知识水平。
