To explore the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. This cross-sectional study included CRC patients who underwent selective operation at the author’s Hospital, between April 2021 and April 2023. Their demographic characteristics and KAP towards ERAS were collected using a self-designed questionnaire. A total of 652 valid questionnaires were collected, with knowledge, attitude, and practice scores of 37.29 ± 11.35 (possible range: 11–55), 39.51 ± 6.40 (possible range: 11–55), and 6.53 ± 2.21 (possible range: 0–8), respectively. A positive correlation was found between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.291, P < 0.001), knowledge and practice (r = 0.292, P < 0.001), and attitude and practice (r = 0.363, P < 0.001). Structural equation model (SEM) analysis showed that knowledge had a significant direct effect on attitude (β = 0.164, P < 0.001) and attitude had direct effect on practice (β = 0.099, P < 0.001), indicating an indirect effect of knowledge on practice. Attitude also had a direct effect on practice (β = 0.038, P < 0.001). CRC patients showed moderate knowledge and attitude, and proactive practice towards ERAS. Further improvement of knowledge may improve their attitude and practice, leading to better outcomes and quality of care among CRC patients.

探讨结直肠癌 (CRC) 患者对加速康复外科 (ERAS) 的知识、态度和实践 (KAP)。这项横断面研究纳入了 2021 年 4 月至 2023 年 4 月期间在作者所在医院接受选择性手术的 CRC 患者。使用自行设计的问卷收集了他们的人口特征和对 ERAS 的 KAP。共回收有效问卷 652 份，知识、态度、实践得分分别为 37.29±11.35（可能范围：11-55）、39.51±6.40（可能范围：11-55）、6.53±2.21（可能范围： 0-8），分别。知识与态度（r = 0.291，P < 0.001）、知识与实践（r = 0.292，P < 0.001）以及态度与实践（r = 0.363，P < 0.001）之间呈正相关。结构方程模型（SEM）分析表明，知识对态度有显着的直接影响（β = 0.164，P < 0.001），态度对实践有直接影响（β = 0.099，P < 0.001），表明知识对态度有间接影响。实践。态度也对实践有直接影响（β = 0.038，P < 0.001）。结直肠癌患者对ERAS表现出适度的认知和态度，并积极实践。进一步提高知识可能会改善他们的态度和实践，从而为结直肠癌患者带来更好的结果和护理质量。
