Medication adherence in hypertension: A cross-sectional study at Tam Tri Quang Nam General Hospital

Nguyen Thi Thuy, Dam Thi Minh Huong — 2025-12-29

Objective: Hypertension is a prevalent chronic condition in Vietnam that can lead to severe complications if not well controlled. Medication adherence plays a crucial role in effective blood pressure management. This study aimed to assess medication adherence and its associated factors among hypertensive patients in a private hospital setting. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Tam Tri Quang Nam General Hospital in 2025 among adults aged ≥18 years with hypertension diagnosed for at least six months. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and medication adherence was assessed using the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize participant characteristics and levels of medication adherence. Non-parametric tests (Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests) were applied to examine associations between medication adherence and related factors in univariate analyses. Variables identified were then entered into a multivariable linear regression model to determine independent predictors of medication adherence. Results: More than half of patients had low medication adherence (52.9%), while only 8.0% showed high adherence. In univariate analyses, several factors were associated with adherence (p < 0.05). In multivariable linear regression, gender and the number of daily medications remained independently associated with adherence, with the number of daily medications being the strongest predictor. Conclusion: Medication adherence among patients with hypertension was suboptimal. The number of daily medications was the strongest predictor of poor adherence, indicating the need to simplify treatment regimens and prioritize patients receiving multiple medications.

Relationship between learning attitude, self-efficacy, and caring behavior among nursing students in selected universities in Vietnam

Nguyen Hong Thiep, Edreck D. Estioko — 2026-01-06

Objectives: This study aims to examine the relationship between learning attitude, self-efficacy, and caring behavior among undergraduate nursing students in three selected public universities in Vietnam. Methods:A descriptive-correlational design was used with 428 nursing students from three public universities in southern Vietnam from December 2024 to February 2025. Standardized instruments were applied, including the R-SPQ-2F for learning attitudes, the Self-Efficacy for Learning and Performance Scale, and the Caring Behaviors Inventory (CBI-24). All tools were translated and culturally adapted for Vietnamese participants. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and regression modeling. Results: Results showed moderate surface (M = 2.71, SD = 0.831 ) and deep (M = 3.32, SD = 0.7) learning approaches. Self-efficacy was rated as good in both self-learning (M = 2.63, SD = 0.48) and self-performance (M = 2.98, SD = 0.396). Caring behavior was consistently high across all domains, including being with (M = 4.85, SD = 0.746), doing with competence (M = 4.88, SD = 0.81), responding to needs (M = 5.01, SD = 0.81), and providing effective care (M = 4.89, SD = 0.942). Deep learning attitude was positively correlated with self-efficacy (r = 0.195–0.204, p < 0.001) and all caring behavior dimensions (r = 0.183–0.204, p < 0.001). Self-efficacy also correlated positively with caring behavior in both learning (r = 0.135–0.156) and performance domains (r = 0.135–0.165). Regression analysis confirmed a significant direct effect of self-efficacy on caring behavior (β = 0.3152, p < 0.001) and a smaller indirect effect mediated by learning attitude (estimate = 0.0378, p = 0.041), indicating partial mediation. Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of strengthening self-efficacy and fostering deep learning approaches to enhance compassionate and competent nursing care. Future research should design interventions that integrate these elements into nursing curricula

Do Minh Sinh, Do Thi Hoa, Vu Thi Hai Oanh, Nguyen Son Tung — 2026-01-20

Objective: This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Vietnamese version of the Perceived Stress Scale (VN-PSS-10) among nursing students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 350 nursing students from a university in Vietnam. Psychometric evaluation followed COSMIN guidelines, assessing content validity, structural validity, and reliability. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed, with internal consistency measured by Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest reliability assessed via intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Results: The VN-PSS-10 demonstrated strong content validity (I-CVI: 0.80–1.00). EFA and CFA confirmed a two-factor structure (Perceived Helplessness and Perceived Self-Efficacy), explaining 54.2% of variance. The scale showed high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.84) and excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.87). Stress levels varied significantly across academic years, with advanced students reporting higher perceived stress. Conclusions: The Vietnamese Perceived Stress Scale (VN-PSS-10) is a valid and reliable tool for measuring perceived stress in Vietnamese nursing students. Its robust psychometric properties support its use in both research and educational settings. Future research should assess its responsiveness to stress-reduction interventions and its applicability to other student populations

Hoang Phuong Thao, Vu Van Dau, Hoang Ngoc Ha — 2026-01-22

Objective: To assess the baseline self-care knowledge of patients with chronic heart failure and evaluate the effectiveness of a health education intervention on knowledge improvement and retention. Subjects and methods: A one-group pretest–posttest educational intervention study was conducted among 70 hospitalized patients with chronic heart failure at the Department of Cardiology, Nam Dinh General Hospital, from October 2024 to August 2025. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire; internal consistency reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (paired t-test/chi-square test) were used as appropriate, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: Before the intervention, patients’ self-care knowledge was limited, with a mean score of 10.98 ± 3.73 out of 22; no patient achieved a good level, 55.7% were at a fair level, 34.3% at a moderate level, and 10% at a poor level. After the health education intervention, knowledge improved markedly, with the mean score increasing to 17.35 ± 2.36 and remaining at 17.42 ± 2.03 after one month. The proportion of patients achieving a good level increased to 57.1% immediately after the intervention and 47.1% after one month; there were no poor-level cases, and only 1.4% were at a moderate level. The difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Patients with chronic heart failure had substantial limitations in self-care knowledge. The intervention significantly improved self-care knowledge, supporting the importance of regular education to enhance self-care knowledge and thereby contribute to better quality of life and treatment outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure.

Nguyen Thi Minh Thu , Do Minh Sinh — 2026-01-23

Objective: To describe the knowledge and attitudes toward sharp object exposure prevention among healthcare workers at Hai Phong International General Hospital in 2025. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 353 healthcare workers from March to May 2025 using convenience sampling. A structured questionnaire included 16 knowledge questions (total score 25) and 22 attitude items. Adequate knowledge and a positive attitude were defined as scores >60% of the total possible score. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, and mean ± standard deviation. Results: Healthcare workers aged ≤30 years accounted for 58.6%; 72.2% were female, and 75.4% had a university degree or higher. A significant gap was observed between high theoretical knowledge (94.9%) and moderate positive attitudes (53.0%). No participant achieved a perfect score in the “preventive measures” knowledge domain (0%). The main perceived barriers were staff shortages (46.1%) and patients’ lack of cooperation (39.9%). Conclusion: Healthcare workers demonstrated high knowledge but a relatively low level of positive attitude toward needlestick and sharps injury prevention. The hospital should strengthen training, communication, and staffing support to improve occupational safety practices

Knowledge and attitudes toward surgical site infection prevention among surgical and obstetric nurses in the Vinmec Healthcare System

2026-01-26

Objective: To assess nurses’ knowledge and attitudes regarding surgical site infection (SSI) prevention and to examine factors associated with these outcomes among surgical and obstetric nurses in the Vinmec Healthcare System in 2025. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 189 nurses working in Surgery and Obstetrics departments across Vinmec hospitals from November 2024 to September 2025. Data were collected using a predesigned questionnaire. Appropriate statistical tests were applied to evaluate associations between nurses’ characteristics and SSI-prevention knowledge and attitudes. Results: Overall, 84.7% of nurses demonstrated good knowledge of SSI prevention, with a mean knowledge score of 22.68 ± 2.0 out of 27. In addition, 92.6% reported a positive attitude toward SSI prevention, with a mean attitude score of 21.4 ± 4.02 out of 25. Age and participation in SSI-prevention training within the previous 12 months were significantly associated with both knowledge and attitudes.Conclusion: Surgical and obstetric nurses within the Vinmec Healthcare System in 2025 generally exhibited good knowledge and positive attitudes toward SSI prevention; however, gaps persisted across age groups and training status. Nurses aged <30 years and those who had not received SSI-prevention training in the past year were more likely to have poorer knowledge and less favorable attitudes. Strengthening routine training and targeted support for younger nurses is recommended to enhance the effectiveness of SSI prevention across the system

Changes in knowledge regarding antibiotic useamong mothers of children with acute respiratory infectionsafter a health education intervention at Ha Dong General Hospital

2026-01-30

Objective: To evaluate the changes in knowledge regarding antibiotic use among mothers of children with acute respiratory infections treated at Ha Dong General Hospital after a health education intervention. Methods: An educational intervention study was conducted on 145 mothers of children with ARIs at Ha Dong General Hospital from February to May 2025. Data were collected using a validated assessment tool for maternal knowledge on antibiotic use, which demonstrated a strong Content Validity Index (CVI = 0.86) and high reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.945). Results: Before intervention, maternal knowledge was notably limited, with only 33.1% of participants demonstrating adequate general knowledge about antibiotic use. After intervention, this proportion significantly increased to 100% at both post-intervention assessments (T2 and T3). The mean score for general antibiotic knowledge improved from a baseline of 14.41 ± 1.39 (T1) to 18.81 ± 0.49 immediately post-intervention (T2), and this high level of knowledge was sustained prior to discharge at 18.71 ± 0.58 (T3), with statistically significant p < 0.05. Conclusion:Maternal knowledge regarding antibiotic use was initially inadequate but showed marked and sustained improvement following the health education intervention (p < 0.05). Nurses should proactively educate and regularly verify mothers’ understanding of antibiotic administration throughout the clinical care process

Objective: To describe the attitudes and practices regarding preventive oral health self-care among patients visiting Ha Dong General Hospital in 2025. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 401 patients attending the Odonto-Stomatology Clinic at Ha Dong General Hospital from March to May 2025. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire assessing attitudes and practices towards preventive oral care, yielding Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients of 0.933 and 0.947 for the attitude and practice domains, respectively. Results: Regarding attitudes toward preventive oral self-care, 60.1% of patients demonstrated a good attitude, 19.7% were average, and 20.2% were poor. In terms of practices, 60.1% exhibited good practices, 10.2% were average, and 29.7% were poor. The mean scores for attitudes and practices varied significantly according to gender and age (p < 0.05). Furthermore, a strong and statistically significant positive correlation was observed between patients’ attitudes and their practices (r = 0.924, p = 0.001). Conclusion: Patient attitudes and practices concerning preventive oral health self-care remain suboptimal. Targeted oral health counseling and health education, meticulously tailored to specific age groups and genders, must be prioritized by nursing staff in clinical settings

Sleep quality among patients with chronic musculoskeletal disorders at Nghe An Provincial Friendship General Hospital

2026-02-04

Objective: To describe the sleep quality and identify selected factors associated with sleep quality among patients with chronic musculoskeletal disorders at Nghe An Provincial Friendship General Hospital in 2025. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 298 inpatients aged ≥ 18 years who were diagnosed with chronic musculoskeletal diseases (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, osteoporosis, ankylosing spondylitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus). Data were collected from March to August 2025 using a structured questionnaire covering general characteristics, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine factors associated with sleep quality. Results: The mean PSQI score was 10.88 ± 3.96 (range: 2–20), and 82.2% of patients had poor sleep quality. Mean sleep duration was 5.43 ± 1.07 hours, and habitual sleep efficiency was 68.98 ± 16.83%. The mean pain score on the VAS was 5.99 ± 2.18, with 55.0% of patients reporting severe pain. Regression analysis showed that pain intensity within the previous 24 hours (β = 0.292; p < 0.05) and income (β = −0.366; p < 0.05) were statistically significant predictors of sleep quality; the model explained 43.5% of the variance in PSQI scores (adjusted R² = 0.435). Conclusion: Sleep quality among patients with chronic musculoskeletal disorders was markedly poor and was primarily influenced by pain and socioeconomic conditions. Multimodal pain management, strengthened rehabilitation, and psychological support are recommended, with particular attention to low-income patients. Integrating routine sleep screening using the PSQI into clinical practice is necessary for early detection and timely intervention, thereby contributing to improved patient quality of life

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 232 thyroid cancer patients at two large hospitals in Hanoi between May and October 2024. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: The mean knowledge score was moderate (5.95 ± 2.10 out of 11 points). Nearly all participants (98.7%) expressed a need for nutritional counseling regarding LID prior to RAI therapy. Conclusion: Participants demonstrated insufficient knowledge regarding the low-iodine diet, indicating substantial unmet educational needs among thyroid cancer patients before RAI therapy

Correlation of adversity quotient and resilience withprofessional quality of life among nurses: A cross-sectional study

2026-02-09

Objectives: To determine the correlations between adversity quotient, resilience, and professional quality of life among nurses. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was \conducted among 110 nurses working at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital from February to April 2025. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires, including the Adversity Response Profile to evaluate the adversity quotient, the Brief Resilience Scale to measure resilience, and the Professional Quality of Life scale version 5.0 to determine professional quality of life. Results: The mean (standard deviation) score for the adversity quotient was 127 (21.6), with subscale scores for control, ownership, reach, and endurance at 29.5 (8.68), 30.2 (9.37), 32.5 (7.87), and 35.1 (7.64), respectively. The mean resilience score was 3.45 (0.7). Regarding professional quality of life, the mean scores for compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress were 39.4 (5.89), 26.9 (3.21), and 27.6 (5.57), respectively. Compassion satisfaction was found to be positively correlated with the adversity quotient (r = 0.395; p < 0.001) and resilience (r = 0.197; p = 0.039). Conversely, it was negatively correlated with burnout (r = -0.456$; p < 0.001) and secondary traumatic stress (r = -0.207; p = 0.03). Burnout showed a positive correlation with secondary traumatic stress (r = 0.593; p < 0.001) but a negative correlation with resilience (r = -0.2; p = 0.036). No significant correlations were observed between burnout or secondary traumatic stress and the adversity quotient, nor between resilience and the adversity quotient or secondary traumatic stress. Conclusion: It is essential to develop interventions aimed at enhancing the adversity quotient and resilience, promoting compassion satisfaction, and mitigating burnout and secondary traumatic stress among nurses. Such efforts will contribute to improving work performance and the overall quality of patient care

My Thi Hai, Nguyen Thi Phuong, Pham Thi Huong Ly — 2026-02-26

Objective: To identify factors associated with pregnant women’s attitudes toward neonatal jaundice at Thai Binh Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in 2025. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 359 pregnant women attending routine antenatal care at Thai Binh Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from April 2025 to July 2025. Results: the majority were under 35 years old (80.2%) and lived in rural areas (73.5%). Most participants had at least a high school education (76.9%). Multiparous women accounted for 61.0%, and 86.9% had access to information about neonatal jaundice. Nearly half of the participants (47.9%) reported a history of having a child with jaundice. The main sources of information about neonatal jaundice were healthcare workers (48.4%) and the internet (41.9%), while books and manuals were the least common source (3.2%). Factors associated with pregnant women’s attitudes toward neonatal jaundice included age ≥35 years (OR = 2.03; 95% CI: 1.20–3.43), urban residence (OR = 1.61; 95% CI: 1.00–2.58), a history of having a child with jaundice (OR = 1.89; 95% CI: 1.09–3.24). Conclusion: The study findings indicate that in the multivariable logistic regression model, pregnant women’s adequate attitudes toward neonatal jaundice were associated with maternal age and a history of having a child with jaundice (p < 0.05).
