Patient Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Colorectal Polyps, 472 Responses

A cross-sectional study by Yongqiang Song assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and intended practices (KAP) of 472 patients with colorectal polyps. Data was collected via self-administered questionnaire at Nanjing Lishui People's Hospital from July to December 2024. The dataset includes demographic information and calculated KAP scores, with results published on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing correlations between patient knowledge and attitudes based on the reported KAP scores and correlation coefficients.
• Modeling the structural relationships between knowledge, attitude, and intended practices using the provided beta coefficients from structural equation modeling.
• Profiling demographic characteristics of a patient cohort with colorectal polyps based on the described gender and diagnosis status variables.

Strengths

• Includes 472 valid patient responses, providing a defined sample size.
• Reports specific statistical results, including median KAP scores with standard deviations and correlation coefficients.
• Clear temporal and geographic scope: data collected from a single hospital over a 6-month period in 2024.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain modeling tasks.
• Data reflects a single geographic location (Nanjing Lishui People's Hospital), which may limit generalizability.
