Download PDF Abstract This study aimed to explore physicians’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding Helicobacter pylori ( H. Pylori) resistance to treatment in Shanxi Province, Central China.
A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted from August to October 2024, enrolling physicians involved in the management of gastrointestinal disorders. A structured questionnaire was developed to collect demographic data and evaluate KAP scores. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to examine the relationships among KAP dimensions.
A total of 518 questionnaires were analyzed, with 70.3% of participants being female. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 37.67 ± 7.57 (range: 10–50), 28.78 ± 3.41 (range: 7–35), and 27.98 ± 4.26 (range: 7–35), respectively. Knowledge scores (OR = 1.081, 95%CI: 1.048–1.115), attitude scores (OR = 1.079, 95%CI: 1.012–1.149), and department affiliation (internal medicine, pediatrics, or spleen and stomach) (OR = 3.718, 95%CI: 2.132–6.484) were independently associated with the practice.
