Implication

Cross-sectional study finds strong knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding fistula exercise among healthcare staff, highlighting a solid foundation for patient rehabilitation.

Key Points

To assess healthcare professionals' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding functional exercise interventions for limbs with arteriovenous fistulas.
Cross-sectional survey of 502 healthcare professionals conducted between July and September 2025 at a single hospital, with 417 meeting predefined quality-control criteria.
Assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practice scores using a standardized questionnaire and evaluated structural pathways using linear regression and structural equation modeling.
Participants exhibited high mean scores for knowledge (18.88 ± 2.44 out of 20), attitude (47.59 ± 2.83 out of 50), and practice (48.90 ± 2.64 out of 50).
Both knowledge (β = 0.282, 95% CI: 0.181–0.383, P < 0.001) and attitude (β = 0.500, 95% CI: 0.413–0.586, P < 0.001) were independently associated with proactive practice scores.
Structural equation modeling demonstrated that knowledge directly influenced attitude (β = 0.836, P = 0.036) and exerted a significant total effect on practice (β = 0.724, P = 0.026).
