Objective:

To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards hyperuricaemia among patients, highlighting its significance in effective management.

Key Findings:
  • Hyperuricaemia affects 5-25% of the population in China, necessitating effective management strategies.
  • Patient self-management is crucial for controlling hyperuricaemia and preventing gout.
  • The KAP model is relevant for understanding patient interactions with healthcare regarding hyperuricaemia, indicating areas for targeted interventions.
Interpretation:

Knowledge influences attitudes, which in turn affect patient practices regarding hyperuricaemia management, suggesting that educational interventions could enhance patient outcomes.

Limitations:
  • Limited studies on KAP specifically for hyperuricaemia patients.
  • Focus primarily on patient experiences rather than healthcare provider perspectives, with potential biases in self-reported data.
Conclusion:

Enhancing patient knowledge and attitudes can lead to better management practices for hyperuricaemia, suggesting specific educational strategies to implement.
