Abstract

This study aims to assess the percentage of good knowledge and associated factors among outpatients at Le Van Thinh Hospital in 2022. A cross-sectional study was performed between July to September 2022 on all outpatients treating the hospital. Data is collected through a self-completed questionnaire, with 17 questions assessing general knowledge, the cut-off point is 70% (12/17). A total of 330 patients completed the survey, the aged <50 years old (67.3%), and male (54.9%). The rate of general knowledge was 56.1%. The study found a relationship between good knowledge and age, education level, Occupation, history of hypertension and access to information sources (p<0.05). The rate of good knowledge achieved in this population is still low, which shows the need for a health education intervention program to improve people's knowledge.
