Objective: To investigate the current status and influencing factors of physicians' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding the implementation of the centralized volume-based drug procurement (CVBP) policy in Leshan. Methods: A structured questionnaire based on the KAP theoretical framework was developed. An online cross-sectional survey was conducted using snowball sampling method. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the influencing factors. Results: A total of 251 valid questionnaires were collected. Physicians who had received CVBP training (60.96%) and those with junior professional titles (28.69%) had significantly higher KAP scores (P<0.01). Awareness was highest for “priority use of CVBP drugs and agreed procurement volume” (88.45%) and lowest for the “retained surplus incentive mechanism” (54.98%). While 79.28% of physicians acknowledged the policy’s role in reducing patient financial burden, only 39.04% expressed confidence in the efficacy of CVBP drugs. Although 88.05% reported preferentially prescribing CVBP drugs, only 68.13% proactively counseled patients about them. Multivariate analysis revealed that higher knowledge scores positively influenced both attitudes and prescribing practices (all OR<1, P<0.01), Conversely, concerns about “low price–low quality”, senior professional titles, and higher academic degrees negatively influenced attitudes (all OR>1, P<0.05). Conclusion: The overall KAP level of physicians regarding CVBP policy remains suboptimal. Knowledge is a key driver of favorable attitudes and behaviors. Targeted dissemination of policy information and real-world evidence is recommended to enhance policy effectiveness.
