Abstract：Objective To investigate the current situation of oral health knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of college students at a university in Xuzhou City, so as to provide scientific evidence for formulating a more comprehensive and systematic oral health education plan in the future. Methods A total of 956 students were selected by a stratified cluster sampling method to conduct a questionnaire survey on oral health KAP, and the scores of each item of the questionnaire were compared between/among the different genders, places of origin, and grade level students. Results In terms of the total score of KAP, the M (P25-P75) scores of urban and rural students were 60 (56-64) and 60 (56-64), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.116, P=0.034), while the M (P25-P75) scores of freshman, sophomore, and junior students were 60 (52-64), 60(56-64) and 64(56-64) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=38.871, P<0.001). In terms of knowledge scores, the M (P25-P75) scores of freshman, sophomore, and junior students were 20(16-24),24(20-24) and 24(20-24), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=28.533, P<0.001). In terms of attitude scores, the M (P25-P75) scores of boys and girls were 12 (8-12) and 12 (8-12), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.288, P=0.022). In terms of practice scores, the M (P25-P75) scores of male and female students were 28 (24-32) and 28 (24-28), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (Z=-4.113, P<0.001), the M (P25-P75) scores of urban and rural students were 28 (24-32) and 28 (24-28), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-4.606, P<0.001), and the M (P25-P75) scores for freshmen, sophomores and juniors were 28 (24-28), 28 (24-28) and 28 (24-32), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=12.863, P=0.002). Conclusions The level of oral health KAP of college students at a university in Xuzhou City is low, especially among freshmen and rural students, and there are certain gender differences. It is suggested to carry out targeted oral health education to improve the oral health care level of college students.
