Objective To understand the status of Knowledge-Attitude-Practice(KAP) and analyze the affecting factors in postoperative patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) of lower extremity. Methods The clinical data of 169 postoperative patients with ASO from October 2017 to March 2018 were analyzed. The patients' knowledge, behavior, attitude and compliance of four dimensions as the dependent variable, general data and disease data as independent variables through single factor analysis of variance. Multivariate statistical analysis was carried out with statistical significance to analysis the status of KAP and influencing factors of ASO patients. Results ASO patients' four dimensions of knowledge, behavior, attitude and compliance were (6.33± 3.33), (58.80 ±6.36), (14.39 ±4.22) and (10.67 ± 2.49) points, respectively. Univariate analysis of variance showed that place of residence, education level, family economic level, diabetes, course of disease, social support, self-assessment of depression, self-assessment of anxiety and self-efficacy of symptom management were all risk factors in ASO patients. Conclusions Strengthen the health management of ASO postoperative patients, so that patients get continuous health guidance, thereby improving their quality of life and long-term patency rate.
