Knowledge, attitude, and practice toward cochlear implants among deaf patients who received cochlear implants
Abstract Despite the growing use of cochlear implants in deaf patients, there is a lack of data on their knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) toward cochlear implants.

| description | Abstract Despite the growing use of cochlear implants in deaf patients, there is a lack of data on their knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) toward cochlear implants. This study aimed to investigate the KAP toward cochlear implants among deaf patients who received cochlear implants. A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2022 and December 2022 among deaf patients who had received cochlear implants. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect demographic characteristics and KAP scores. A total of 526 participants were enrolled; 54.18% were female, 65.40% were above 60 years old, and 61.03% were surveyed at less than 3 years after implantation. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 8.15 ± 2.18 (possible range: 0–10), 43.63 ± 6.98 (possible range: 12–60), and 41.11 ± 7.42 (possible range: 11–55), respectively, indicating good knowledge, moderate attitude and practice. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that attitude [odd ratio (OR) = 1.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.18–1.29, P < 0.001] and unemployment (OR = 0.33, 95% CI 0.17–0.63, P = 0.001) were independently associated with practice. Path analysis showed that knowledge directly influenced attitude (β = 0.93, 95% CI 0.61–1.19, P < 0.001), attitude directly influenced practice (β = 0.53, 95% CI 0.46–0.61, P < 0.001), and knowledge directly (β = 0.77, 95% CI 0.53–1.01, P < 0.001) and indirectly (β = 0.50, 95% CI 0.34–0.66, P < 0.001) influenced practice. Deaf patients who received cochlear implants showed good knowledge, moderate attitude and practice toward cochlear implants. Knowledge should be strengthened to improve attitude and practice toward cochlear implants, which could translate into realistic expectations toward cochlear implants devices and proper care and maintenance. |
