Abstract：Objective To investigate the status of nutritional knowledge attitude practice in hospitalized patients with thoracic tumor and analyze the impacting factors, so as to provide a clinical basis for nutritional education and nutritional intervention in patients with thoracic tumors. Methods A cross-sectional survey conducted to investigate the hospitalized patients with thoracic tumor by using a self-designed questionnaire. Results Among the 294 cases, 197 were males, 97 were females, 226 were lung cancer, 48 were esophagus cancer, and 20 were other cases. The passrate of the patients' nutritional knowledge was 46.3%. Less than 1 in 3 patients knew correct diet structure. The accuracy of knowledge of calcium, protein and vitamin was 43.2%~77.6%. The accuracy of knowledge of iron was only 26.5%. More than 2/3 patients knew food that can protect stoach and intestine. For food like high fat diet, moldy food, pickled food, hot food, barbecue, 39.1%~78.6% of patients knew the relationship between the food
and disease. 94% of the patients kept a positive attitude for nutrition. More than 80% of the patients said they would seek nutritional knowledge about disease and health, but only 39.1% received nutritional knowledge from medical staff. 53% of the patients had a healthy nutritional behavior. 62.6% of the patients eat pickled and fried foods and only 39.1% of the patients measured their weight
regularly. The nutritional KAP was affected by sex, educational level, residence and chronic disease of the patients. The nutritional
attitude of female was better than that of male. The KAP of junior high school and below was significantly different from that of high school or secondary school and above (P<0.05). The KAP in rural patients was lower than that of urban patients. Patients with chronic disease had better nutritional behavior. Conclusions The nutritional KAP of the cancer patients was not ideal. The nutritional
attitude was positive but the behavior is poor. To manage the nutritional status of hospitalized patients with thoracic tumor, gender, educational level, residence, chronic diseases are needed to be fully considered. To improve nutritional KAP of patients, targeted nutrition education, individualized and meticulous nutritional education are needed to be intervened.
