Cross-sectional study assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices in coronary heart disease patients, suggesting the need for enhanced education.
Key Points
Coronary heart disease patients displayed inadequate knowledge about cardiac rehabilitation but maintained positive attitudes and practices regarding it.
Knowledge score was found to significantly influence both attitude and proactive practices, with odds ratios indicating strong associations in the results.
Multivariate logistic regression indicated that knowledge, attitude, and married status were independently linked to proactive practices among participants.
Structural equation modeling revealed that knowledge indirectly impacts practice through attitude, highlighting crucial pathways for effective rehabilitation strategies.
