This study evaluated the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of dietary management among enterostomy patients, identified influencing factors and provided recommendations for comprehensive nutritional care.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design<\/jats:title>\n Cross-sectional study.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Setting<\/jats:title>\n 43 hospitals in Hubei Province.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Participants<\/jats:title>\n A convenience sample of 643 enterostomy patients was surveyed between November 2024 and April 2025. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) age of 18 years or older; (2) at least 4\u2009weeks post-enterostomy surgery with recovery at home and (3) provision of informed consent and voluntary participation in the study. The exclusion criteria included: (1) inability to eat normally due to illness or other reasons and (2) presence of consciousness, cognitive or communication disorders.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Primary and secondary outcome measures<\/jats:title>\n KAP questionnaire score, social alienation scale score and general information.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Of 621 valid responses (96.58% valid questionnaires), the average KAP score was 185, with 79.07% achieving a passing score (\u2265111). Moderate social isolation was observed with a mean score of 40.04\u00b113.98. Regression analysis revealed that social isolation (\u03b2=\u22120.393, p<0.001), medical insurance type (employee medical insurance: \u03b2=0.233, p<0.001; resident medical insurance: \u03b2=0.315, p<0.001) and education level (\u03b2=0.096, p=0.019) significantly influenced KAP.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Enterostomy patients showed moderate to high knowledge, positive attitudes and good practices in dietary management, but experienced moderate social isolation. A multidisciplinary nutrition team should assess patients\u2019 nutritional, physiological, psychological and social support needs. Personalised dietary plans based on education level and diverse educational methods can enhance intervention effectiveness. Encouraging self-care and leveraging the \u2018Internet Plus\u2019 platform for regular progress monitoring can improve self-management capabilities. Continuous monitoring of nutrition and quality of life is essential to support enterostomy patients. These findings may have implications for enterostomy care in resource-limited settings, including low-income and middle-income countries, where multidisciplinary nutrition teams and patient education resources may be limited.<\/jats:p>\n
