Objective: To evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice of COVID-19 prevention of patients at Ha Dong Traditional Medicine Hospital in 2021. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study on 240 patients at Ha Dong Traditional Medicine Hospital carried out from December 2020 to December 2021. Results: The considered group’s age in the study was > 60 years old. The main source of information that patients knew about the epidemic was through television, accounting for 70%, 100% of patients used masks; patients had correct knowledge about COVID-19 with the rate from 50.2% to 96.5% and correct general knowledge accounted for 72.2%. Overall attitude accounted for 68.5%. Regarding COVID-19 prevention practices, the general practice is 78.9%. Age, knowledge and attitude factors related to COVID-19 prevention practices. Conclusion: The study shows that the percentage of patients with correct knowledge, attitudes and practices about COVID-19 prevention is still low. The health education communication program should continue to be implemented through television and social networks, emphasizing the importance of ensuring a minimum of 20 seconds of hand washing.
