Self-treatment is particularly prevalent in Vietnam. However, the prevalence of this practice among the working population is unclear. This study aims to describe the prevalence of self-treatment and related factors among workers aged 15 to 60 years in the suburban area of Chi Linh, Hai Duong, Vietnam. Secondary data of 3128 respondents was retrieved from the CHILILAB HDSS 2016 survey for analysis using logistic regression with a significance level of .05. Results show that 47.5% of respondents treated themselves at least once during one previous year. While rural residence and the presence of acute health symptoms and chronic diseases significantly associate with the choice of self-treatment among all investigated workers, lower education level and health insurance status only significantly relate to this practice among the formally employed workers. The findings imply the need for specific measures to manage self-treatment practices among different groups of workers.
There is an inherent complexity within clinical markers that is challenging to determine HIV-pediatric failure and further research is needed to build a complete picture to guide clinical, evidence-based practice.
Objective: Describe cervical cancer screening practice for married women aged 30-50 years and the relationship between husband support and wife screening. Research method: Cross-section design with 255 couples living in Thanh Binh district, Dong Thap province from March to July 2020. Results: The proportion of women who had cervical cancer screening was 24.2%. Married women who do not regularly help their wives with housework, spend money on their wives to see health checks and encourage their wives to get screened have a 1.37, 1.31 and 1.35 times higher rate of non-screening. (p <0.05) compared with women with regular supportive husbands. Conclusion: Cervical cancer screening practices are low. The husband's support is related to the wife's cervical cancer screening. The role of the husband should continue to research to provide information for the cervical cancer screening program to be implemented more effectively. Key words: Cervical cancer, screening for cervical / cervical cancer, husband's role.
