Abstract:
Objective To understand the current status of knowledge-attitude-practice(KAP)regarding risk of medication safety behavior among cancer patients in western Yunnan and the related influencing factors,and to provide a basis for conducting rational medication education.Methods Using an approximate random sampling method,a KAP survey on medication safety behavior was conducted among inpatients and outpatients with cancer(aged over 18 years)in multiple hospitals in western Yunnan through online and offline questionnaires.Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the impact of different characteristics of the research objects on the KAP scores concerning medication knowledge,behavior,and attitude.Results A total of 512 valid questionnaires were collected.The average scores of medication knowledge,attitude,and behavior among cancer patients were(82.53±23.07),(41.98±8.64),and(67.88±10.08),respectively.Medication knowledge and behavior were at a good level,while medication attitude was at a qualified level.The multiple linear regression results showed that the educational level was a significant influencing factor of the medication knowledge and attitude scores(P＜0.001).Conclusion The overall medication safety among cancer patients in western Yunnan is in a good state,however,there is a need for improvement in medication attitudes.Educational level is the main factor affecting medication safety risk.Pharmacy services should be focused on cancer patients with lower educational levels to enhance their medication safety.
