Abstract

Background: The Affiliate Stigma Scale (ASS) is the most used instrument to assess affiliate stigma in caregivers with different mental health issues. However, there has not been a Vietnamese version of this scale with clear psychometric properties. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Affiliate Stigma Scale in the Vietnamese context. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study among 300 parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using purposive sampling and a self-administered structured questionnaire including the Affiliate Stigma Scale - Vietnamese version. Data were collected from February to September 2023. Results: The psychometrics and confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the instrument’s internal consistency and construct validity. The total scale showed a good Cronbach’s alpha of 0.94. The three-factor model had an acceptable fit (Comparative Fit Index = 0.93, Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.92, RMSEA = 0.068). Conclusion: The Vietnamese version of Affiliate Stigma Scale exhibited good validity and reliability for nurses and other pediatric professionals to assess affiliate stigma among parents of children with ASD.

Abstract

Abstract Background Postpartum depression (PPD) is a major health issue that can affect both mothers and their newborn children. In Vietnam, approximately 20% of mothers suffer from PPD. However, there is a lack of synthesized evidence regarding the case management of PPD in the Vietnamese context. A review of early symptoms, consequences, and management strategies of PPD will help to inform best practices to reduce complications and shorten the recovery time after parturition. Methods This scoping review aims to analyze and synthesize the findings of studies on PPD examining the symptoms, consequences, and management strategies among Vietnamese women. MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCOHost, Google Scholar, and a networked digital library of projects, theses, and dissertations published between 2010 and 2022 in Vietnam were accessed following search terms including “Vietnam”, “depression”, “postpartum”, “symptom/experience”, “consequence”, and “management”. Findings The most-reported symptoms were sadness, tiredness, the feeling of being ignored, lack of interest in the baby, reduced appetite, and sleep disturbance. The recognized consequences were child stunting and slow growth, without mentioning its long-term effects on mothers. Our findings indicated that PPD in Vietnam has not been sufficiently managed; mothers tend to seek help from ‘fortune-tellers’ or ‘word-of-mouth’ practices rather than from evidence-based modern medicine. Conclusion This scoping review provides an initial stage of PPD symptoms, consequences, and management along with facilitating an interventional program to support this vulnerable group of women. A large survey of Vietnamese mothers' symptoms, effects, and management strategies is needed.

Abstract

Health education via DVD/video has been demonstrated as a novel method to encourage a positive change and improvement in patients' health behaviors. A community health project was implemented in Cao Bang, a mountainous area of Vietnam, for health workers to use tablets, portable projectors, and television to disseminate health education messages via designed video clips.A qualitative study using semi-structured individual and group interviews was conducted with 25 health workers in Trung Khanh district to explore their experience of using video in providing health education.The video was confirmed to be an accessible, interactive, and flexible tool supporting health education activities in this mountainous area. However, some health workers in the mountainous area struggled due to a lack of technological skills and responsibility for their work.More training on using technology for health professionals and incorporating video-based health education activities into labor contract-based responsibilities can alleviate present obstacles.

Abstract

This article provides a snapshot of the development of nursing education and practice in Vietnam and the impact of historical and socioeconomic factors of the last few decades. The Vietnamese government has played an instrumental role in shaping the professionalization of nursing while also presenting challenges to the evolving profession with its sometimes-conflicting policies/strategies. To tackle these challenges, the increased involvement of nursing experts who have in-depth understanding of contemporary nursing practice is warranted.

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the levels of the burnout among nurses, and to further explore the effects of the burnout on their quality of life.Methods: This study is a cross-sectional design. 280 nurses of Thu Duc District hospital in Vietnam were interviewed with structured questionnaires. Questionnaires included “Demographic Inventory”, “MBI scale”, and “SF-36 Scale”. T-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and Regression Analysis were used to analyze data. Results: (1). The nurses had low and middle levels of the burnout, and moderate levels of the quality of life. (2) There were significant correlations between demography and burnout, including gender, education, department, main work shift, and years in this department. (3) There is a significant negative relationship in many sub-scales of the burnout and quality of life scale. (4) Education and burnout predicted 17.6% of the variance in quality of life.Conclusion: There were clear evidences that the nurses experienced burnout and then their quality of life was negatively affected. It is suggested that programs must be created to prevent burnout in nurses.

Abstract

Regulation of the development, production, marketing, and sales of medical pharmaceuticals and devices in the United States fall under the regulatory functions of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The current FDA approval process takes an average of 10 years from start to completion, and costs over $100 million. As a result, companies use many different methods to find additional use of their drugs through marketing directly to the physician, or recycling of previously approved drug moieties. In this work, an evaluation of the in vitro and ex vivo biocompatibility of polymers and drugs in different phases of FDA approval are evaluated. These include polymers and drugs that are 1) being studied for FDA approval (Chapter 3), 2) used for purposes other than their initial clinical setting purposes (Chapter 4 and 5), and 3) deemed safe from studies in the 1960s-1970s and have been used due to their low “toxicity” (Chapter 6). An alternative method of drug delivery is explored to improve the palatability and allow for more precise control of the concentration of drugs delivered for colonoscopy preparations to help alleviate side effects and improve compliance rates is explored in Chapter 7. The cytotoxicity of reagents (NIPAM) used in current experimental protocols prior to FDA approval were investigated as described in Chapter 3. Although other forms of polymerized NIPAM are non-toxic to cells, cpNIPAM purchased from retailers should be purified prior to use to prevent unintended cytotoxic effects. Current surgical procedures often encourage the use of antifibrinolytics to prevent excessive bleeding (Chapter 4), antibiotics, and antiseptics to prevent infection (Chapter 5). This work demonstrated that each of the antibiotics, antiseptics, and antifibrinolytic tested are detrimental to knee joint cells. Chapter 6trong

Abstract

Regulation of the development, production, marketing, and sales of medical pharmaceuticals and devices in the United States fall under the regulatory functions of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The current FDA approval process takes an average of 10 years from start to completion, and costs over $100 million. As a result, companies use many different methods to find additional use of their drugs through marketing directly to the physician, or recycling of previously approved drug moieties. In this work, an evaluation of the in vitro and ex vivo biocompatibility of polymers and drugs in different phases of FDA approval are evaluated. These include polymers and drugs that are 1) being studied for FDA approval (Chapter 3), 2) used for purposes other than their initial clinical setting purposes (Chapter 4 and 5), and 3) deemed safe from studies in the 1960s-1970s and have been used due to their low “toxicity” (Chapter 6). An alternative method of drug delivery is explored to improve the palatability and allow for more precise control of the concentration of drugs delivered for colonoscopy preparations to help alleviate side effects and improve compliance rates is explored in Chapter 7. The cytotoxicity of reagents (NIPAM) used in current experimental protocols prior to FDA approval were investigated as described in Chapter 3. Although other forms of polymerized NIPAM are non-toxic to cells, cpNIPAM purchased from retailers should be purified prior to use to prevent unintended cytotoxic effects. Current surgical procedures often encourage the use of antifibrinolytics to prevent excessive bleeding (Chapter 4), antibiotics, and antiseptics to prevent infection (Chapter 5). This work demonstrated that each of the antibiotics, antiseptics, and antifibrinolytic tested are detrimental to knee joint cells. Chapter 6 showed that PEG 3350 at current therapeutic concentrations changes the behavior of gut cells. Taken together, these chapters emphasize the need for careful evaluation of the possible cytotoxic effects of antibiotics in surgical applications prior to their use. Chapter 7 characterizes the ideal concentrations and their effectiveness as a potential delivery vehicle for PEG 3350 and identifies the optimal fabrication of hydrogels using natural polymers to deliver the maximum amount of drug. Studies were completed evaluating the hydrogels’ pH responsiveness utilizing simple pH solutions as well as simulated gastrointestinal and small intestinal simulation fluids.
