Thực trạng và nhu cầu đào tạo của nhân viên y tế tham gia điều trị người bệnh COVID 19 tại tỉnh Bình Dương và Kiên Giang

Abstract

Training of healthcare workers to meet professional requirements is one of the key factors in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 2022 on 196 healthcare workers (HCWs) in Binh Duong and Kien Giang provinces to assess the current status and training needs of this workforce. The results showed that male HCWs accounted for a higher proportion (56.6%), and doctors made up the largest professional group (42.3%). The rate of training decreased significantly from 2021 to 2022, especially in tasks such as contact tracing and proper use of PPE. Training needs were rated highly across all three levels of HCWs, particularly in infection prevention, patient care, respiratory failure treatment, and case management. However, more specialized skills such as arterial blood gas collection or intubation were assessed as less essential. These findings emphasize the need for continuous training, especially for contents rated as highly necessary, to ensure the best preparedness of frontline healthcare workers.
