Background: Medical students play important frontline roles in the prevention, early detection, and treatment of hepatitis C. This study investigated knowledge and attitudes toward hepatitis C among 5th- and 6th-year medical students and possible associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2000 students from eight medical universities using a self-administered structured questionnaire. Results: The mean knowledge and attitude scores for hepatitis C were 20.1 ± 4.0 (out of 26) and 10.6 ± 2.9 (out of 20), respectively. Approximately, three-quarters (74.4%) of the participants had a good knowledge score, but only a small proportion (3.1%) obtained a good attitude score. Although the participants had fairly high knowledge about the causes, consequences, and transmission routes of hepatitis C, there were important gaps in their knowledge about hepatitis C screening and treatment. In multivariate analysis, female students, 5th-year students, and students from the central provinces had significantly higher knowledge and attitude scores. There was a low positive correlation between knowledge and attitude scores. Conclusion: This study points out the need to update the medical training curriculum to improve the knowledge and attitude of students about hepatitis C infection.

Background: The infodemic has been co-existing with the COVID-19 pandemic with an influx of misinformation and conspiracy theories. These affect people’s psychological health and adherence to preventive measures. eHealth literacy (eHEALS) may help with alleviating the negative effects of the infodemic. As nursing students are future healthcare professionals, having adequate eHEALS skills is critically important in their clinical practice, safety, and health. This study aimed to (1) explore the eHEALS level and its associated factors, and (2) examine the associations of eHEALS with preventive behaviors, fear of COVID-19 (FCV-19S), anxiety, and depression among nursing students. Methods: We surveyed 1851 nursing students from 7 April to 31 May 2020 from eight universities across Vietnam. Data were collected, including demographic characteristics, eHEALS, adherence to preventive behaviors (handwashing, mask-wearing, physical distancing), FCV-19S, anxiety, and depression. Linear and logistic regression analyses were performed appropriately to examine associations. Results: The mean score of eHEALS was 31.4 ± 4.4. The eHEALS score was
significantly higher in males (unstandardized regression coefficient, B, 0.94; 95% confidence interval,
95% CI, 0.15 to 1.73; p = 0.019), and students with a better ability to pay for medication (B, 0.79;
95% CI, 0.39 to 1.19; p < 0.001), as compared to their counterparts. Nursing students with a higher
eHEALS score had a higher likelihood of adhering to hand-washing (odds ratio, OR, 1.18; 95% CI,
1.15 to 1.22; p < 0.001), mask-wearing (OR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.19; p < 0.001), keeping a safe physical
distance (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.25; p < 0.001), and had a lower anxiety likelihood (OR, 0.95; 95%
CI, 0.92 to 0.99; p = 0.011). Conclusions: Nursing students who were men and with better ability
to pay for medication had higher eHEALS scores. Those with higher eHEALS scores had better
adherence to preventive measures, and better psychological health. The development of strategies to
improve eHEALS of nursing students may contribute to COVID-19 containment and improve their
psychological health.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the internet and technology has provided people with a platform for working, schooling, and many other daily activities. Social distancing and lockdowns have resulted a change in the smartphone usage, especially among university students. The study aims to describe smartphone use habits and associated factors among students of Hanoi Medical University and some other universities in 2020. A longitudinal study was conducted on 70 students. Students were followed-up for 1 months, and the data related to the pattern of smartphone use were collected everyday. Descriptive statistics and mixed-effect linear regression model was used to describe smartphone use habits and associated factors. Screen time and the number of unlocks per day were relatively high during the COVID-19 social distancing in 2020 in Vietnam. Social media, website and game were the most common application used by participants. Screen time in weekend was significantly lower compared to weekdays. Number of times picking up the phone were significantly associated with the day in the week, relationship status, and living place
