The KAP questionnaire is a widely used tool in public health research, designed to assess individuals\u2019 understanding (knowledge), beliefs (attitude), and behaviors (practice) related to a specific health condition.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A cross-sectional study was conducted at Sinopharm Dongfeng General Hospital from September to November 2023. Demographic information and KAP scores were assessed using a structured questionnaire, which evaluated patient knowledge about psoriatic arthritis, their attitude toward managing it, and their practical engagement in preventive or treatment behaviors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study, 392 valid questionnaires were analyzed. Of these, 290 respondents (74.0%) were male, and 296 (75.5%) reported no comorbid conditions. The median scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 8 (interquartile range [IQR]: 6\u201310), 21 (IQR: 19\u201324), and 14 (IQR: 8\u201322), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that practice was independently associated with being female (OR\u2009=\u20090.426, 95% CI: 0.259\u20130.703, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001), being aged 30\u201339\u2009years (OR\u2009=\u20092.159, 95% CI: 1.223\u20133.811, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.008) or 40\u201349\u2009years (OR\u2009=\u20092.002, 95% CI: 1.019\u20133.936, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.044), having a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score of 11\u201330 (OR\u2009=\u20092.569, 95% CI: 1.158\u20135.700, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.020), and not having psoriatic arthritis (OR\u2009=\u20090.300, 95% CI: 0.168\u20130.537, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients with psoriasis had suboptimal knowledge, positive attitude and inactive practice toward psoriatic arthritis. To address this, healthcare providers should prioritize educational interventions, with a specific focus on younger patients, females, and individuals with a higher DLQI score, to enhance awareness
