Background

- 514 rosacea patients completed a self-administered questionnaire.
- Data were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression and structural equation modelling.
Main Results
- Patients demonstrated inadequate knowledge (7.14/12), positive attitudes (52.57/65), and suboptimal practices (62.77/90).
- Knowledge, positive attitude, male gender, age 25-30, and health insurance were linked to better practices.
- Knowledge directly influenced attitude and practice; attitude directly influenced practice (p<0.001).
