description <h4>Objective</h4>Thoracoscopy has gained extensive utilization in managing pleural disorders, and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) can improve patients' prognosis and expedite post-surgical recovery. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards ERAS among patients underwent thoracoscopy surgery.<h4>Methods</h4>This cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2022 and August 2023, among patients underwent thoracoscopy surgery in 6 Secondary or Tertiary hospitals in the author's area. Demographic characteristics and KAP scores were collected by questionnaires, and clinical data were extracted from medical records.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 309 valid questionnaires were collected, with 165 (53.40%) males and 202 (65.37%) aged ≤65 years old. The mean scores for KAP were 28.92±7.21 (possible range: 9-45), 53.60±6.73 (possible range: 13-65), and 43.45±5.50 (possible range: 10-50), respectively. SEM confirmed the positive associations between knowledge and attitude (β = 0.108, P = 0.019), knowledge and practice (β = 0.096, P = 0.004), and attitude and practice (β = 0.438, P<0.001). However, the KAP were found not associated with prognosis.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Patients underwent thoracoscopy surgery showed moderate knowledge, positive attitude, and appropriate practice towards ERAS. Preoperative education, personalized counseling, peer support groups, peer support groups, and follow-up care were recommended in further clinical practice.
