| dc.description.abstract | Studies on Health science students regarding knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of probiotics for the gut-skin axis remain under exploration, as they are expected to have higher KAP on these issues. Thus, this study aims to observe the extent of KAP results among the students of Health Science in USM, Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, and determine the association with their sociodemographic factors. A cross-sectional study was utilized using a convenience sampling method. Respondents’ data were obtained using an online questionnaire via a Google Form that was distributed through a few WhatsApp groups. Pearson’s chi-square test was used for statistical significance of association at p < 0.05 using SPSS version 29. Among 193 respondents, the majority possessed poor knowledge, moderate attitudes, and poor practice. Educational level was strongly associated with attitudes (p = 0.046) and practices (p = 0.035). A statistically significant association was detected between hometown demographic area and attitude (p = 0.021). Overall, no sociodemographic variables showed a significant association with knowledge. Attitudes were significantly associated with educational level and demographic area. Practice was merely significantly associated with educational level. The outcome suggested a disconnect between their understanding and actual behaviors. These results highlight the need for well-coordinated educational programs aimed at enhancing knowledge and affecting the application of probiotics for gut-skin health | |
