Abstract

Background: To investigate parental knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding low-temperature plasma adenotonsillectomy for children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).

Methods: This cross-sectional study employed a self-administered KAP questionnaire for data collection from parents of children with OSAS at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, spanning August, 2023, to August, 2024.

Results: A total of 415 parents were included, with 83.86% were female and 84.34% being primary caregivers. The knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 14.91 ± 2.40 (total score: 18 points), 31.87 ± 3.12 (total score: 35 points), and 32.01 ± 3.15 (total score: 35 points), respectively. Knowledge positively correlated with attitude (r = 0.365, P < 0.001), and practices (r = 0.336, P < 0.001). Attitude correlated with practice (r = 0.745, P < 0.001). Structural equation modelling revealed that knowledge influenced attitude (β = 0.490, P < 0.001), and attitude strongly impacted practice (β = 0.729, P < 0.001).

Conclusion: Parents demonstrated adequate knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practices regarding low-temperature plasma surgery. This underscores the clinical value of incorporating structured parental education and counseling into perioperative care to support adherence and improve recovery in children with OSAS. These findings warrant continued, targeted health education focused on knowledge gaps to further enhance treatment compliance and optimize postoperative outcomes for children with OSAS.

关于儿童阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征的低温血浆腺扁桃体切除术的父母知识、态度和实践：结构方程模型分析。

背景：调查家长对低温血浆腺扁桃体切除术治疗阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（OSAS）的知识、态度和做法（KAP）。方法：采用自填式KAP问卷，收集温州医科大学第二附属医院2023年8月至2024年8月收治的OSAS患儿家长的数据。结果：共纳入415名家长，其中女性占83.86%，主要照顾者占84.34%。知识、态度、实践得分分别为14.91±2.40分（总分18分）、31.87±3.12分（总分35分）、32.01±3.15分（总分35分）。知识与态度（r = 0.365, P < 0.001）、实践（r = 0.336, P < 0.001）呈正相关。态度与实践相关（r = 0.745, P < 0.001）。结构方程模型显示，知识影响态度（β = 0.490, P < 0.001），态度强烈影响实践（β = 0.729, P < 0.001）。结论：家长对低温等离子体手术有充分的知识、积极的态度和积极的实践。这强调了将有组织的父母教育和咨询纳入围手术期护理的临床价值，以支持OSAS患儿的依从性和改善康复。这些发现表明，有必要继续开展有针对性的健康教育，重点关注知识差距，以进一步提高OSAS患儿的治疗依从性并优化其术后结果。

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.
