Likewise, 1 in 10 respondents with satisfactory knowledge had a satisfactory attitude while 2 in 10 had a highly satisfactory attitude.
The highly satisfactory attitude decreased from 17.3 % to 0 % with the increased level of knowledge.
However, when the level of knowledge increased, the highly satisfactory attitude decreased from 20.3%to14.7%7%.
Similarly, among those who had sufficient knowledge, 19.6 % had sufficient attitude, 23.2 % had satisfactory attitude, 12.5 % had highly satisfactory attitude and 8.9 % and 17.9 % had satisfactory practice and highly satisfactory practice respectively (Table 2).
Those respondents who had highly insufficient knowledge, 17.3 % had highly satisfactory attitude and 7.7 % had highly satisfactory practice.
Conversely, among the respondents with highly satisfactory knowledge, 14.7% had highly satisfactory attitude and 19.5% and 13.9% had satisfactory and highly satisfactory practices, respectively.
Among those with highly satisfactory knowledge, only 14.7% had a highly satisfactory attitude and 19.5% and 13.9% had satisfactory and highly satisfactory practices, respectively.
Likewise, level of attitude was as follows: 28.3 % had highly insufficient, 15.2 % had insufficient, 21.3 % had sufficient, 22.5 % had satisfactory and 12.8 % had highly satisfactory attitude.
The poor relation between KAP scores was unsurprising because a linear relationship between variables may not exist in cardiovascular health (eg, highly satisfactory knowledge=high satisfactory attitude and behaviour).
Among all patients, 12.3 %, 12.7 % and 16%% had highly satisfactory knowledge, attitude and practice respectively.
