To investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of patients with chronic kidney disease regarding osteosarcopenia.
Key Findings:
Mean knowledge score was 6.33 ± 5.48 (31.65% of maximum) from 585 participants.
Mean attitude score was 34.33 ± 5.98 (68.66% of maximum).
Mean practice score was 27.89 ± 9.82 (55.78% of maximum).
Knowledge positively influenced attitude and practice, while attitude positively influenced practice.
Interpretation:
Patients with chronic kidney disease exhibited suboptimal knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding osteosarcopenia, indicating a need for targeted educational interventions to improve health outcomes.
Limitations:
Study conducted in a single hospital, limiting generalizability.
Cross-sectional design does not establish causality, limiting the ability to infer direct relationships.
Conclusion:
Interventions should be designed to improve patients' knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward osteosarcopenia to enhance their health outcomes, addressing identified gaps.
