Abstract

This cross-sectional study assessed the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) regarding prevention of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and analyzed associated factors linked to good KAP among 145 patients who completed H. pylori eradication treatment at Hoang Long General Clinic and the Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (IGH) from January 2024 to July 2024. The mean knowledge score was 16.2 ± 3.5 (range: 5 - 22 points). Approximately 81.4% of the patients identified the oral-oral route as a transmission pathway, and over 90% believed usingseparate eating utensils could prevent H. pylori infection. However, a misconceptions regarding the transmission routes of H. pylori remained high. The patients demonstrated positive attitudes towards prevention of H. pylori intrafamilial transmission, and 100% agreed to undertake at least one type of H. pylori follow-up tests. However, the practice of preventive measures was not optimal (average practice score: 44.3 ± 4.2, min - max: 32 - 54 points), as 42.8% of the patients regularly and 48.3% always, reported sharing condiment bowls with other family members. A significant correlation was found between job and knowledge scores, as well as between gender and practice scores (p < 0.05).
