Abstract

Objective: To assess the knowledge status on disease recurrence prevention among outpatient peptic ulcer patients and analyze related factors. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 94 outpatient peptic ulcer patients at Hai Duong Medical Technical University Hospital from August to November 2024. A 39-question knowledge assessment tool covering general disease knowledge, diet, lifestyle, and medication use was employed. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0. Results: The proportion of patients with good and fair knowledge was 54.3% (6.4% good, 47.9% fair). The mean knowledge score for disease recurrence prevention was 23.33 ± 5.8 points. Diet knowledge scored highest (7.34 ± 2.09), while medication knowledge scored lowest (3.97 ± 1.56). Factors associated with good knowledge included: age under 60 (OR=6.96, p=0.001), high school education or above (OR=14, p<0.001), stable occupation (OR=5.86, p<0.001), and receiving health education counseling (OR=3.69, p=0.002). Conclusion: The knowledge of peptic ulcer patients regarding disease recurrence prevention is at a moderate level. Health education activities need to be strengthened, particularly focusing on elderly patients, those with low education levels, and those who have not received adequate counseling.
