Supplementary file 1_Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding intranasal corticostero

A 2026 cross-sectional survey of 262 adult outpatients with allergic rhinitis from a tertiary hospital in Sichuan Province, China, assessed their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding intranasal corticosteroid use. The study, authored by Hongting Zhang and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license, identified significant gaps between positive attitudes and actual adherence to prescribed techniques and dosage.

Use Cases

• Analyzing patient misconceptions about medication side effects based on survey responses regarding safety concerns.
• Modeling the intention-implementation gap in healthcare based on reported attitudes versus actual practices.
• Identifying training needs for administration techniques based on low correct identification rates for head position and nozzle direction.

Strengths

• Survey includes responses from 262 adult patients, providing a specific sample size.
• Results quantify specific knowledge gaps, such as less than 40% correctly identifying proper head position (38.17%) or nozzle direction (39.31%).
• Attitudes are quantified with a specific score (7.47/10) toward treatment adherence and professional guidance.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single cross-sectional study in one Chinese province, which may limit generalizability.
