Knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward nutritional management among patients with gastrointestinal cancer: A cross-sectional study
While most gastrointestinal cancer patients demonstrated adequate knowledge regarding nutritional management, their attitudes were predominantly negative, and their practices were largely inactive. These findings highlight a critical need for targeted educational interventions to bridge knowledge gaps and encourage more active engagement with nutritional guidelines.
