Although KAB are internal constructs, they collectively influence behaviour without necessarily determining it. In obesity management, understanding healthcare professionals\u2019 (HCPs\u2019) KAB about adult obesity is crucial. However, comprehensive and valid outcome measurement instruments (OMIs) are necessary to accurately reflect their perspectives.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This scoping review aimed to identify and evaluate published OMIs that assess HCPs\u2019 KAB about adult obesity, utilising the Consensus\u2010based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) framework.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Following the COSMIN methodology and the five\u2010stage scoping review framework proposed by Arksey and O\u2019Malley, and refined by Levac and Colquhoun, reviewers searched six databases\u2014Embase, Medline, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Google Scholar\u2014for studies published from 1 January 1991 to 1 May 2025. Inclusion criteria required studies to focus on HCPs\u2019 KAB, OMI development, psychometric evaluation or application in relation to adult obesity. Two reviewers screened the literature and assessed methodological quality using the COSMIN Risk of Bias checklist, and evidence quality was graded with a modified GRADE approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 9213 records were identified, 45 articles were evaluated for full\u2010text eligibility, and 4 articles were selected for final review. According to COSMIN criteria, the methodological quality of these studies was deemed inadequate. None demonstrated sufficient content validity, with common limitations including unrepresentative samples of HCPs\u2019 and poorly defined constructs. As per the COSMIN \u2018stop rule\u2019,\u201d no further psychometric evaluations were conducted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is a significant gap in the availability of rigorously developed instruments for assessing HCPs\u2019 KAB about adult obesity.
