“…In addition, gender, cooking skills, and salt reduction knowledge had associated with salt reduction behavior. Salt reduction behavior of hypertensive older patients in this study was lower than those in previous studies (20,21). Some patients in this study reported that they rarely can cook a low salt diet or control themself to eat a low salt diet in any situation.…”

Objectives: To describe the salt reduction behavior of hypertensive older patients in dietary and examine it related factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 164 elderly patients with hypertensive. Salt reduction behaviour were measured by using a Dietary Sodium Reduction Self‐care Behaviour Scale (DSR-SCB Scale). Salt reduction knowledge was measured by using the Knowledge of Dietary Sodium Reduction Scale (KDSR Scale). Student T-Test, ANOVA, and Pearson’s product-moment correlations were used to analyze the data. Results: In total, 164 elderly patients with hypertensive were included. The mean age was 74.68 ± 8.22 years and female was accounted for 55%. The overall score of salt reduction knowledge and salt reduction behavior in the diet were 37.40 ± 4.20 and 27.32 ± 4.92, respectively. In which, the opinion “I prefer to eat home cooked food over food sold from street vendors” had the highest mean score (3.52 ± 0.58). The opinion “Every time I find my food salty, I am willing not to eat it” had the lowest mean score (2.65 ± 0.86). There was a statistically significant difference in salt reduction behavior between gender (p<0.01) and cooking skills (p<0.01). Salt reduction knowledge had significant correlation with salt reduction behavior (r=0.508, p<0.01). Conclusions: Salt reduction behavior basically related to gender and cooking skills. Due to lack of knowledge, patients had a low score in salt reduction behavior. Therefore, health‐care providers can focus their educational activities on these individuals to enhance their behaviors.

“…In our study, education level was associated with HF knowledge with an improvement of HF knowledge by education level (p=0.012). Our study found 64.9% of patients were from high school, that in studies of Dinh HTT 28 and Xoan VT 29 were about 70%. Although our patients had higher education levels than other studies, HF knowledge in our study was lower.…”

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) is one of the most common diseases worldwide, with a high prevalence and mortality, creating a significant cost burden on patients, society, and the healthcare system. As a result, extensive research has been conducted to investigate advanced treatment methods for heart failure, and patient adherence plays a crucial role in optimizing treatment effectiveness. This study aims to describe the current status of patients’ knowledge, treatment adherence, and quality of life among outpatients with heart failure visiting for routine treatment at Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted on 330 outpatients with heart failure who were visited for routine treatment at Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital. All data were collected through face-to-face interviews using constructed questionnaires. Results: The study showed the limit of heart failure knowledge among patients, with a mean score of 5.2 ± 2.3. Only 4.8% of patients were adequate overall heart failure knowledge. The treatment adherence was limited, with an overall adherence rate of 20.9%. The patient’s quality of life was generally stable at a high level, with a mean of 0.871 for the descriptive system score and 0.697 for the standardized VAS score. Conclusion: The adherence rate of patients with HF was low, particularly among those with non-drug adherence. Very few patients with heart failure have adequate knowledge of heart failure. More support and health education programs on heart failure treatment adherence are needed for patients to increase their knowledge, adherence and improve their quality of life.

“…Lack of knowledge is also a problem of patients with HF in Vietnam. The adequate overall knowledge rate was found as 17.2% in the study of Xoan VT 12 and 27.3% in Ha TT 13 . Lack of knowledge may be a barrier to adherence to treatment in patients with HF.…”

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) is a common chronic disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. Besides HF treatments aimed to improve patients’ quality of life and health status, health education interventions for behavioral changes ensuring their adherence to treatment are very important. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of behavioral health education interventions on knowledge, treatment adherence, and quality of life of patients with HF. Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 330 patients were selected and randomly distributed into intervention and control groups (n = 165 per group). Data were collected at the time points before the intervention and three months after the intervention using the Dutch Heart Failure Knowledge Scale (DHFKS), Revised Heart Failure Compliance Scale (RHFCS), and quality of life (EQ-5D-5L v2.1, Vietnamese version). Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in HF knowledge or quality of life at baseline. After three months of health education intervention, intervention group significant increase to 1.68 times (95%CI: 1.05 – 2.69; p=0.03) in overall HF knowledge; 1.91 times (95%CI: 1.25 – 2.92; p=0.003) in general HF knowledge and 1.59 times (95%CI: 1.03 – 2.45; p=0.038) in behavior of exercise when compare to control group. However, the quality of life did not change significantly after the intervention. Conclusions: Although the health education intervention had no impact on the quality of life of patients with HF, it was effective in improving their HF knowledge and treatment adherence.
