Abstract

This study assessed the current state of health education nurses provide to hypertensive patients and proposed measures to enhance its effectiveness at Hoai Duc General Hospital in 2023. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 120 inpatients diagnosed with hypertension at Hoai Duc General Hospital, Hanoi, from June 2023 to August 2023. The results showed that 95.0% of patients received health education counseling from nurses upon admission, 88.0% were counseled during their hospital stay, and 93.0% received health education counseling before discharge. Most patients knew about the disease, diet, exercise, and rest. Specifically, 98.3% of patients understood that hypertension requires long-term, lifelong treatment, while only 11.8% were unaware of the need to limit fat intake in their diet. In conclusion, the rate of patients receiving health education counseling from nurses during their inpatient treatment at Hoai Duc General Hospital is relatively high. However, the hospital should enhance the monitoring and supervision of health education counseling to improve its effectiveness.
