Knowledge, attitudes, and decision-making regarding hyperbaric oxygen-assisted cancer treatment among related healthcare professionals

Healthcare professionals working in HBOT units and oncology-related specialties demonstrated a generally adequate level of knowledge, positive attitudes, and a proactive approach toward the use of HBOT as an adjunctive cancer treatment, with attitude emerging as a key mediator linking knowledge to clinical decision-making. These findings highlight the importance of targeted educational interventions aimed at strengthening both knowledge and attitudes, which may in turn enhance evidence-based clinical decision-making and support the broader integration of HBOT into oncologic care pathways.
