Abstract：Objective To analyze the status of knowledge,attitude and practice of nutrition in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer and analyze the influencing factors.Methods A total of 120 lung cancer patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery at the Second People's Hospital of Huai'an City from March 2022 to March 2025 were selected as the research subjects by cluster sampling.General information of the patients was investigated.The nutritional knowledge,attitude and practice of the patients were surveyed using the Nutrition Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Questionnaire for Digestive System Tumor Patients,and multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing the nutritional knowledge,attitude and practice of patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer.Results The total score of knowledge,attitude and practice(KAP)of nutrition for 120 patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer was(46.13±5.79)points.The proportion of those who scored at or above the passing level was 43.33%(52/120),while the proportion of those with poor scores was 56.67%(68/120).Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the KAP scores of nutrition among patients with different educational levels,monthly family incomes,places of residence,dietary management,nutritional status and social support(P<0.05).The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicated that educational level,monthly family income,place of residence,dietary management,nutritional status and social support were independent influencing factors of the KAP scores of nutrition for patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer(P<0.05),which could explain 59.10%of the total variation.Conclusion The level of knowledge,attitude and practice of nutrition among patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer remains low,and is influenced by educational attainment,monthly family income,place of residence,dietary management,nutritional status and social support.
