INTRODUCTION
This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of cancer patients regarding radiotherapy and radiation protection.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2023 and January 2024, at Peking University International Hospital, and included cancer patients through convenience sampling. Demographic characteristics and KAP scores were collected through distributed questionnaires.
RESULTS
A total of 497 valid questionnaires were collected, with 252 (50.70%) completed by females. Of the respondents, 463 (93.16%) demonstrated awareness of the irradiation site for their treatment. Mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 14.84 ± 4.99 (possible range: 0 - 28), 26.94 ± 3.63 (possible range: 8 - 40), and 25.24 ± 4.26 (possible range: 6 - 30), respectively. Correlation analyses revealed significant positive correlations between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.141, P = 0.002), as well as practice (r = 0.300, P < 0.001). Similarly, there was a correlation between attitude and practice (r = 0.279, P < 0.001). The path analysis revealed that knowledge was significantly associated with attitude (β = 0.142, P < 0.001) and practice (β = 0.202, P < 0.001). Similarly, attitude was associated with practice (β = 0.310, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
Cancer patients exhibited inadequate knowledge, moderate attitudes and proactive practices towards radiotherapy and radiation protection. The positive correlations between knowledge and various factors, such as radiotherapy awareness, ionizing radiation understanding, and patient comprehensive scores, underscore the integral role of patient education in enhancing their approach to radiotherapy and radiation protection.
引言
本研究旨在调查癌症患者对放射治疗和辐射防护的知识、态度及实践情况。
方法
于2023年12月至2024年1月在北京大学国际医院进行了一项横断面研究，通过便利抽样纳入癌症患者。通过发放问卷收集人口统计学特征和知识、态度及实践得分。
结果
共收集到497份有效问卷，其中252份（50.70%）由女性完成。在受访者中，463人（93.16%）知晓其治疗的照射部位。知识、态度和实践得分的平均值分别为14.84±4.99（可能范围：0 - 28）、26.94±3.63（可能范围：8 - 40）和25.24±4.26（可能范围：6 - 30）。相关性分析显示知识与态度（r = 0.141，P = 0.002）以及实践（r = 0.300，P < 0.001）之间存在显著正相关。同样，态度与实践之间也存在相关性（r = 0.279，P < 0.001）。路径分析显示知识与态度（β = 0.142，P < 0.001）和实践（β = 0.202，P < 0.001）显著相关。同样，态度与实践相关（β = 0.310，P < 0.001）。
结论
癌症患者对放射治疗和辐射防护的知识不足、态度适中且实践积极。知识与放射治疗认知、电离辐射理解及患者综合得分等多种因素之间的正相关，凸显了患者教育在增强其对放射治疗和辐射防护的应对方式方面的重要作用。
