Abstract
Background: Research on rehabilitation in breast cancer (BC) patients is scarce. This study explored the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) toward rehabilitation in BC patients who underwent surgery.
Methods: This cross-sectional survey study was conducted between August 2022 and February 2023 in eight hospitals in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province. An investigator-designed survey was used to evaluate the participants' KAP toward BC rehabilitation.
Results: The analysis included 578 valid surveys. The participants displayed good knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practice toward rehabilitation after surgery for BC. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the knowledge scores and attitude scores were independently and positively associated with proactive practice, while age 45-55, age 56-60, ≥ 6 years BC duration, modified radical surgery, and radical surgery were independently and negatively associated with proactive practice (all P < 0.05). The structural equation model revealed a positive direct effect of knowledge on both attitude and practice. In addition, attitudes had a positive direct influence on practice.
Conclusion: Patients with BC exhibited favorable KAP rehabilitation after surgery for BC, but targeted education could be needed to enhance specific points of understanding and reinforce proactive engagement in clinical practice.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare (JMDH) aims to represent and publish research in healthcare areas delivered by practitioners of different disciplines. This includes studies and reviews conducted by multidisciplinary teams as well as research which evaluates or reports the results or conduct of such teams or healthcare processes in general. The journal covers a very wide range of areas and we welcome submissions from practitioners at all levels and from all over the world. Good healthcare is not bounded by person, place or time and the journal aims to reflect this. The JMDH is published as an open-access journal to allow this wide range of practical, patient relevant research to be immediately available to practitioners who can access and use it immediately upon publication.
