Prevention of complications in patients with osteoporosis is becoming increasingly important. This study aimed to describe and cross-sectionally study the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of nurses in osteoporosis complication prevention and to identify influencing factors. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 246 nurses at Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) General Hospital between February 2021 and June 2023. All KAP scores were assessed and tabulated using a self-designed questionnaire. The mean knowledge score, attitude score, and practice score of nurses were 4.53 ± 2.88, 17.24 ± 6.64, and 31.25 ± 11.10, respectively. According to Pearson's coefficient, there was a positive correlation among the three scores, with correlation coefficients between knowledge and attitude scores and between knowledge and practice scores being 0.412 (P < 0.001) and 0.284 (P = 0.033), respectively. Multivariable logistic regression results showed that knowledge score, attitude score, and level of education were associated with practice levels. Nurses exhibited relatively high levels of attitude and practice, while knowledge levels were moderate. Standardized practice protocols and workplace training are needed to improve nurses' knowledge levels and translate knowledge and attitudes into practice for the prevention of osteoporosis complications.
预防骨质疏松症患者的并发症变得越来越重要。本研究旨在描述并横断面研究护士在预防骨质疏松症并发症方面的知识、态度和行为（KAP），并确定影响因素。这项横断面研究于2021年2月至2023年6月在中国人民解放军总医院的246名护士中进行。所有KAP得分均使用自行设计的问卷进行评估并制表。护士的知识得分、态度得分和行为得分的平均值分别为4.53±2.88、17.24±6.64和31.25±11.10。根据皮尔逊系数，这三个得分之间存在正相关，知识得分与态度得分之间以及知识得分与行为得分之间的相关系数分别为0.412（P<0.001）和0.284（P=0.033）。多变量逻辑回归结果表明，知识得分、态度得分和教育水平与行为水平相关。护士表现出相对较高的态度和行为水平，而知识水平中等。需要标准化的行为规范和工作场所培训来提高护士的知识水平，并将知识和态度转化为预防骨质疏松症并发症的实际行动。
