Overview

Cross-sectional survey reveals inadequate DVT knowledge among patients, while family members show better attitudes and practices.

Key Points

  • Patients and their families showed inadequate mean knowledge scores about deep vein thrombosis, indicating a critical gap in understanding.
  • Family members had significantly higher knowledge, attitude, and practice scores compared to patients, with mean differences suggesting the need for targeted programs.
  • KAP were positively correlated among participants, highlighting that improvements in one area may influence others across the group.
  • Higher education levels and being medical personnel were significant predictors of better KAP scores in family members, indicating key demographic trends.
