Abstract

Objectives: Evaluation of knowledge, attitude, and practice of self-care among Hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and identify some related factors. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study of 130 patients with HCC patients. HCC patients treated with TACE at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, University Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City during the period from December 2022 to February 2023 met the sampling criteria and consented to participate in the study, which was conducted by interviewing with a set of prepared questionnaires. Results: The patient's average knowledge score is 12.49±4.08; in which 64.6% (84/130) of patients have correct knowledge over 75%. Mean attitude score of 46.04±3.77; in which positive attitude is 25.4%. The average score of self-care practice is 56.21±6.40; the high practice score is 28.5%. In addition, the study also found a relationship between the level of education, the number of times TACE was performed with self-care knowledge of patients. Conclusions: Patients in the study had a relatively high knowledge score (over 75% correct) relatively high (64.6%). For the mean score of attitude and practice, although the mean score is relatively high, the percentage of patients with a positive attitude and high practice is still limited.
