In Vietnam, there is limited research focusing specifically on patient satisfaction with nursing care and the mediating role of compassionate care.</p> <p><strong>Objectives</strong>: This study aims to: (i) assess patient satisfaction with nursing care, focusing on its quality and compassionate care; (ii) examine the relationships between nursing care quality, compassionate care, and patient satisfaction using multiple regression analysis; (iii) develop a model to improve patient satisfaction with nursing care based on these findings.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: A descriptive study was conducted on 304 patients hospitalized for a minimum of 72 hours at Hoan My hospital in Dong Nai, Vietnam. Participants were selected using systematic random sampling from the General Internal Medicine and General Surgery departments. Data were analyzed using multiple regression and path analyses to explore relationships between variables.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: Patient satisfaction, nursing care quality, and compassionate care were rated positively, with mean scores of 3.54 ± 0.69, 3.46 ± 0.86, and 3.54 ± 0.67, respectively. Strong positive correlation were identified between patient satisfaction and both nursing care quality (r = 0.845) and compassionate care (r = 0.777). The analysis revealed that 72.9% of the variance in patient satisfaction was explained by medical-technical competence, identity-oriented approaches, and physical-technical conditions. Additionally, compassionate care explained 61.7% of the variance in satisfaction, with patient expectation and capable practitioner being key factors. Path analysis showed a significant indirect effect of nursing care quality on patient satisfaction mediated through compassionate care (β = 0.227, p &lt; 0.001).</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: The study found that patients rated nursing care quality and compassionate care very high resulting in strong satisfaction. Improving care quality through a compassionate approach can further enhance patient satisfaction. It is recommended to develop a culture of patient-centered care that values empathy, understanding, and addressing patients’ psychological and emotional needs.</p> Thi Thao Hien Le Emerson Galang Aliswag Bản quyền (c) 2025 Tạp chí Khoa học Điều dưỡng https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-01-07 2025-01-07 8 01 17 28 10.54436/jns.2025.01.940 Related factors of quality of life among patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis at Binh Dan hospital, Vietnam https://jns.vn/index.php/journal/article/view/941 <p><strong>Background</strong>: Chronic Kidney Failure (CKF) represents a significant medical and socio-economic challenge, particularly in developing countries like Vietnam, where its prevalence is on the rise. CKF patients undergoing regular hemodialysis face considerable challenges across physical, mental, social, and environmental dimensions, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of their quality of life (QoL).</p> <p><strong>Objectives</strong>: This study aims to assess the socio-economic, demographic, and clinical factors influencing the quality of life (QoL) among patients undergoing regular hemodialysis.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: Utilizing a cross-sectional descriptive design, data were collected from 330 hemodialysis patients at Binh Dan Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam between March and June 2024. QoL was assessed using the WHOQOL-BREF instrument, which evaluates four domains: physical health, mental health, social relationships, and the environment.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: The findings revealed that patients experienced moderate QoL, with mean scores of 3.12 (± 0.87) for physical health, 2.98 (± 0.83) for mental health, 3.14 (± 0.82) for social relationships, and 3.33 (± 0.77) for the environment. Correlation analysis indicated a significant relationship between gender and mental health QoL, with female patients reporting lower scores. Furthermore, the frequency of dialysis sessions negatively impacted mental health outcomes, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: By identifying key predictors of QoL among CKF patients, emphasizing the importance of integrating physical, psychological, and social dimensions into patient care. The findings advocate for context-specific, holistic interventions to enhance the health and well-being of hemodialysis patients in Vietnam.</p> Van Canh Nguyen Emerson Galang Aliswag Bản quyền (c) 2025 Tạp chí Khoa học Điều dưỡng https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-01-15 2025-01-15 8 01 29 38 10.54436/jns.2025.01.941 Family support behaviors among type 2 diabetes patients at 108 Military Central Hospital https://jns.vn/index.php/journal/article/view/938 <p><strong>Objectives</strong>: This study aimed to assess family support behaviors among patients with type 2 diabetes at the 108 Military Central Hospital.</p> <p><strong>Participants and Methods</strong>: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from December 2023 to May 2024 in the Endocrinology Department of the 108 Military Central Hospital, involving 135 patients with type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes Family Behavior Checklist (DFBC) was used to evaluate family support levels.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: Among the participants, 55.5% experienced low family support, 14.8% medium support, and 29.7% high support. Positive support behaviors, such as “Eating together,” “Providing advice on timely and accurate medication use,” and “Encouraging participation in physical activities,” were reported as occurring “frequently” and “always” by 72.0%, 52.6%, and 52.0% of patients, respectively. Conversely, non-supportive behaviors, particularly “Nagging about blood sugar testing,” were observed “frequently” and “always” by 35.6% of patients.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: Family support for patients with type 2 diabetes remains limited. Effective diabetes management requires active involvement from both the patient and their family, with the latter playing a central role. Interventions to educate and raise awareness among family members are essential to improve their engagement in supporting diabetes care, reducing complications, and enhancing the quality of life for patients.</p> Thanh Ha Le Thi Phuong Ngo Van Tuan Nguyen Bản quyền (c) 2025 Tạp chí Khoa học Điều dưỡng https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-01-17 2025-01-17 8 01 39 46 10.54436/jns.2025.01.938 Standard precautions knowledge among nursing students at Duy Tan University in 2024 https://jns.vn/index.php/journal/article/view/903 <p><strong>Objectives</strong>: This study aimed to assess the knowledge of nursing students regarding Standard Precautions at Duy Tan University in 2022.</p> <p><strong>Participants and methods:</strong> A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 272 second, third, and fourth-year nursing students who participated in clinical internships from February and July 2022. A 56-item questionnaire based on the Ministry of Health’s SPs guidelines was used to evaluate students’ knowledge.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: The findings revealed that the overall knowledge level of SPs among nursing students was 60.3%, with significant differences across academic years. Fourth-year students demonstrated superior knowledge compared to second- and third-year students. Factors such as the number of internship facilities, academic performance, participation in SPs-related programs, and the diversity of information sources were found to significantly influence students’ knowledge of SPs. The study identified knowledge gaps, particularly in personal protective equipment use, medical instrument handling, and environmental sanitation.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: It is recommended that nursing curricula include more comprehensive and systematic training on SPs and infection control practices, incorporating both theoretical and hands-on components, to improve students’ competency. Moreover, educational institutions should leverage digital media and organize regular SPs seminars to enhance students’ knowledge and preparedness for clinical practice. This research highlights the need for continuous education and training to ensure nursing students are well-equipped to prevent infections and promote patient safety in healthcare settings.</p> Thi Le Nguyen Thi Thu Huong Tran Thi Thanh Thuong Dang Thanh Ha Le Bản quyền (c) 2025 Tạp chí Khoa học Điều dưỡng https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-01-20 2025-01-20 8 01 47 58 10.54436/jns.2025.01.903
