Tóm tắt

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) remains one of the most common and serious postoperative complications, contributing to prolonged hospitalization and increased healthcare costs. Objectives: This study aimed to describe the current status of SSIs among postoperative patients in the surgical departments of Viet Tiep Hospital in 2025. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 177 postoperative patients who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Surgical Wound Assessment Tool (SWAT) and analyzed with SPSS 20.0. Results: The incidence rate of SSI was 9.03%. Most surgeries were classified as clean-contaminated (35.1%) or contaminated (40.1%). The majority of procedures were emergency surgeries (59.9%), predominantly trauma-related (44.6%). Operative durations commonly ranged from 1–3 hours (81.9%). Iodine solution was the most frequently used agent for dressing changes (81.4%). Conclusions: The relatively high SSI rate underscores the need for evidence-based wound assessment and standardized preventive measures in postoperative nursing care at Viet Tiep Hospital.
