Supplementary file 1_Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding traditional Chinese med

From January 11 to April 22, 2025, a cross-sectional survey collected 490 valid responses from COPD patients at three TCM hospitals in Chengdu, China. The dataset includes demographic information and scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding TCM therapies. It was authored by Xu Yang and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling relationships between knowledge, attitudes, and practices using the provided KAP scores and structural equation modeling results.
• Analyzing demographic factors (e.g., gender, marital status, residence) associated with TCM therapy engagement among COPD patients.
• Identifying gaps between patient knowledge and practice to inform targeted educational interventions as suggested by the study conclusion.

Strengths

• Dataset contains 490 valid patient responses with a high valid response rate of 87.19%.
• Provides specific mean scores and ranges for knowledge (8.89 ± 5.39), attitude (39.84 ± 4.16), and practice (37.44 ± 5.68) dimensions.
• Clear temporal and geographic scope: data collected in early 2025 from three specific hospitals in Chengdu.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to collection from three hospitals in a single Chinese city.
