This research is conducted as a test of the level of satisfaction of residents in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, specifically in DamB’ri Commune, Bao Loc City, Lam Dong Province. The survey of 100 residents at 4 hamlets of DamB’ri Commune did not record statistically significant differences in the level of satisfaction of participants for the criteria including sexes, educational level, occupation, and working age. Nevertheless, there was a statistically noticeable higher level of satisfaction with Health Insurance for participants who are officers at Hamlet 3. The results of the multiple linear regression method, including 7 independent variables and 1 dependent variable, based on the Health Belief Model (HBM), show that the awareness about restrictions and benefits are the core factors impacting the level of satisfaction of residents. The results also provide crucial evidence for authorities and policymakers to devise plans and solutions to increase the level of satisfaction with Health Insurance for people in Central Highlands.

AI is transforming English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education by facilitating personalized learning and intelligent tutoring globally. This study examines the readiness and intentions of educators in Thu Dau Mot City, Vietnam, to adopt AI in their EFL classrooms. Through surveys and interviews with 102 teachers and lecturers, results show a high perceived usefulness and intention to integrate AI (M = 4.10). However, challenges remain with moderate ease of use (M = 3.92), low confidence in AI tools (M = 3.68), and limited institutional support (M = 3.45). Qualitative insights indicate a need for systematic training and collaborative environments. The findings emphasize that successful AI adoption relies on institutional investment in training and infrastructure. Without this support, the gap between enthusiasm and actual implementation may hinder AI's transformative potential. Policymakers and educational leaders need to create structured frameworks for effective AI integration in EFL classrooms.

This study explores the motivation and challenges faced by English majored students at Thu Dau Mot University when learning with native English-speaking teachers (NESTs) and non-native English-speaking teachers (NNESTs). Using a quantitative approach, a structured questionnaire was distributed to 50 participants to gather data on their experiences, preferences, and perceptions. The findings showed that students were positively motivated to learn English with both NESTs and NNESTs, although the sources of motivation differed. While NESTs are appreciated for their native pronunciation, interactive teaching methods, and cultural authenticity, NNESTs are valued for their clear explanations, shared language background, and supportive attitudes. The study also highlights challenges associated with each teacher group. It was found that students struggled with understanding native accents and feel intimidated by the fluency of NESTs, while they experienced limited cultural exposure and pronunciation variation with NNESTs. The results suggest that a balanced and inclusive approach to English language teaching - drawing from the advantages of both teacher types - can enhance the quality of language education in Vietnamese contexts.

Fall prevention represents a vital clinical indicator in healthcare settings and serves as a fundamental element of patient safety. This study aimed to evaluate nurses’ knowledge, attitude, and practices on fall prevention in caring for patients as well as explore the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and practices on fall prevention in patient care. This study was conducted on 312 nurses working in four selected level II government hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City from August to October 2024. The majority of nurses were female, with diplomas or BSNs, averaging 39.2 years old and 15.8 years of clinical experience. 77.9% attended a fall prevention training course. Most nurses showed moderate knowledge (66.7%) and practices (mean score of 3.26/5) regarding fall prevention, while their attitudes were generally positive (mean score of 3.92/5). Strong correlations were found between knowledge, attitude, and practices, as well as with prior training and education level (p < 0.001). Factors such as age, work experience, education, and training were predictive of fall prevention practices. Furthermore, attitude partially mediated the relationship between knowledge and practice. In summary, the study highlights the importance of fall prevention training, improving knowledge and attitudes, and considering factors like work experience and education in nursing practices. The mediating role of attitude suggests that fostering a positive attitude is key to better fall prevention practices, emphasizing the need for targeted educational programs that enhance both knowledge and attitudes to improve clinical outcomes.

The result showed that the majority of nurses were female, had a mean age of 37.3 years and an average of 13.7 years of direct clinical experience. Of these, 57.4% of nurses have attended the previous pain training course. The majority of nurses lack knowledge regarding pain management with 86.5%. The study also indicated that nurses’ educational level, knowledge and attitude toward pain management are significant predictive factors of nurses’ skills on pain management when caring post – TURP patients. Knowledge on pain management had a very strong positive correlation with attitude (r = 0.820, p < 0.001) as well as skills (r = 0.91, p < 0.001). Besides, there was a very strong and positive correlation between attitude and skills on pain management (r = 0.91, p < 0.001). There was a mediating relationship between knowledge, attitude and skills on pain management, attitude played a partial mediating role between knowledge and skills. In summary, the study indicates a need for targeted educational interventions to bridge the gap between knowledge and skills in pain management, particularly in non-pharmacological strategies, to improve overall care for post-TURP patients.

The study aimed to evaluate disease knowledge, perceived susceptibility and compliance behaviors of post-kidney transplant patients as well as assess relationship between disease knowledge, perceived susceptibility and compliance behaviors. A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on 153 post-kidney transplant patients from March to June 2024 at Outpatient Department of Cho Ray hospital. The result showed that the majority of respondents have a lack of knowledge regarding medication and lifestyle change post kidney transplantation. While perceived susceptibility of respondents were at a fair level. Majority of respondents has a low level of perception regarding barriers to adherence and susceptibility to transplant rejection, while they have a good level of perception regarding benefits of adherence to treatment with immunosuppressive medication. Compliance behavior of post kidney transplant adults was at a good level. Majority of respondents had good compliance behavior regarding medication, while exercise and psychological adaptation was the lowest level of compliance behavior. There are positive relationships between Compliance behaviors and disease knowledge (r = 0.49, p < 0.001); perceived susceptibility (r = 0.45, p < 0.001) and perceived susceptibility plays a partial mediating role between knowledge and compliance behaviors and the mediating effect accounted for 31% of the total effect of disease knowledge on compliance behavior. The study also indicated that educational level (ꞵ = 0.93, p = 0.020), duration of transplant (ꞵ = 0.20, p = 0.012) are predictive factors of compliance behavior among post – kidney transplant patients. Educational interventions targeting both knowledge and health beliefs, particularly for older individuals, could improve adherence to treatment and overall health outcomes.

This paper focuses on the application of the two-step flow theory in university admission communication strategies, particularly in the context of university autonomy in Vietnam.

Culture plays an important role in shaping the perceptions, beliefs, and experiences of refugees as they navigate decisions and actions in a new society. Based on an analysis of 88 oral history interviews conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation (VAHF) with Vietnamese refugees in the US after the war, this paper examines the relationship between culture and social integration, particularly the cultural values that Vietnamese refugees have chosen and promoted to help them adapt quickly and successfully in the new society. Using a thematic analysis method, cultural values such as self-effort, a studious tradition, sacrifice, and intergenerational responsibility help Vietnamese refugees improve their socio-economic status after a period of settlement in the U.S. The stories specifically illustrate how Vietnamese people have applied cultural values to social integration strategies, establishing connections between culture and economic opportunities within the socio-economic conditions of the United States.

International students’ experiences are a major concern for universities and educational researchers. Globally, Vietnam is a top source country for international students but little is known about their experience. This study explores the everyday experiences of 10 Vietnamese master’s students from a New Zealand university through a series of semi-structured in-depth interviews. A qualitative approach enabled me to capture the essential meanings of the participants’ experiences and understand what it was like to be Vietnamese students in New Zealand. In academic settings, the students initially struggled to deal with a range of problems related to language and communication. These made them feel overwhelmed and bewildered. During these formative months, many of them experienced language difficulties. These difficulties forced them to learn to deal with challenges and become independent. This research helps universities become more aware of the experience of foreign students studying at the host universities, and thereby take measures to support them in their studies and daily life.
