Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding chronic sinusitis and its surgical treatment: a cross-sectional study in China

Patients with chronic sinusitis demonstrated insufficient knowledge and negative attitudes and practices towards both the condition and its surgical treatment. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve patient education and awareness. By addressing knowledge gaps and fostering positive attitudes towards treatment options, healthcare providers can empower patients to make informed decisions and enhance their management of chronic sinusitis.
