Abstract
Background: Knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) are essential components in determining the effectiveness of healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. Adequate knowledge and a positive attitude among healthcare professionals are expected to promote appropriate practices in clinical settings. However, evidence suggests that a gap often exists between what individuals know and how they apply it in practice. This discrepancy can negatively impact the quality of care and overall health outcomes. Therefore, assessing KAP levels is important to identify gaps and develop strategies to improve practice and ensure better healthcare performance.
