The study aims to understand the current status of the knowledge,attitude and practice(KAP)regarding frailty assessment among primary doctors in Nanjing and to analyze its influencing factors.A self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct an online survey targeting primary doctors from 12 districts in Nanjing.A total of 105 valid questionnaires were collected.The total average score of KAP of the primary doctors on the frailty assessment was(69.09±12.76),with an average score of(14.70±4.08)on the knowledge dimension,(22.16±4.22)on the attitude dimension,and(32.22±7.17)on the practice dimension.The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the knowledge of frailty,the access of sources to frailty-related knowledge,and the frequency of frailty assessment were influencing factors for the knowledge dimension score of frailty assessment among primary doctors(P<0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the attitude dimension score of frailty assessment between male and female primary doctors(P<0.05).Different sources of knowledge acquisition were influencing factors for the practice dimension score of frailty assessment among primary doctors(P<0.05).In conclusion,primary doctors have a relatively positive attitude towards frailty assessment,but there is room for improvement in their knowledge level and practice capability.
