Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Postoperative Management Among Patients with Fractures: A Cross-Sectional Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Patients with fractures often face complex postoperative management requirements, and their knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding these aspects remain insufficiently understood. Purpose: This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) related to postoperative management among patients with fractures. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Trauma Orthopedics Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from July 2024 to August 2024. A self-designed questionnaire was administered to collect demographic information and to evaluate KAP scores. Results: A total of 556 (n = 556) valid responses were analyzed. Of the respondents, 279 (50.18%) were female, and 380 (68.35%) reported fractures resulting from falls. The mean ± SD scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 15.24 ± 3.62 (possible range: 0-22), 31.43 ± 6.40 (possible range: 8-40), and 83.07 ± 17.24 (possible range: 21-105), respectively. Based on a 70% cutoff of the total score, 42.73% of participants had adequate knowledge, 82.59% had a positive attitude, and 72.53% reported proactive practice. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations between knowledge scores and attitude scores (r = 0.782, P < 0.001), as well as between knowledge scores and practice scores (r = 0.832, P < 0.001). Additionally, attitude scores were positively correlated with practice scores (r = 0.804, P < 0.001). The structural equation model demonstrated that knowledge had a direct effect on attitude (standardized β = 0.913, P < 0.001) and practice (standardized β = 0.710, P < 0.001), while attitude also directly impacted practice (standardized β = 0.258, P = 0.021). Conclusion: Patients with fractures exhibited suboptimal knowledge but generally positive attitudes and proactive practices toward postoperative management. Tailored educational interventions to improve patient knowledge could significantly enhance attitude and practice.
