The COVID-19 pandemic is both a challenge and an opportunity for scientists to accelerate their research and share their scientific results. This study was systematically searched and scoped studies with keywords of COVID-19 response and lessons from Southeast Asian countries by PRISMA-SCR for scoping review to summarize and disseminate research findings. The result of 956 articles were matched the search characteristics, in which Singapore was a country of the most researchs (329 articles, 34.4%), and the least is Timor Leste (2 articles, 0.2%). The cross - sectional descriptive studies were the most (391 articles, 40.9%) and Ideas, Editorials, Opinions were the rest (256 articles, 27.7%). The most researched topics were risk communication, community participation and disease management (314 articles, 32.8%), surveillance, epidemiological investigation, contact tracing, an adaptation of measures, public health, and society (327 articles, 34.2%); vaccines have very little research. The average number of articles published from May 2020 to June 2021 was 68.2 ± 10.7. The number of articles was uniform during the research period, with not too much variation. More intervention and case - control studies are needed to understand better and evaluate the effectiveness of current epidemic prevention measures in the region, especially more studies assessing vaccine efficacy.

The level of smoking cessation support in hospitals are low, especially in resource limited settings. Current healthcare systems are not well organized to address the issue. This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions initiated in health facilities in resource-limited settings. A systematic review using meta-analysis techniques was applied. Bibliographic databases included PubMed, Medline, LILACS, the United States Clinical Trials and the Cochrane Collaboration Library. Eligibility criteria included smoking cessation intervention studies were published in English or Vietnamese, from the year 1990 to 2018. Study designs were randomized controlled trials, quasi-randomized controlled trials, cohort studies and before and after studies. Populations were limited to those in low and middle-income countries. Interventions were limited smoking cessation programs conducted in health facilities. 17 studies had included for the reviewing. 12 studies had been assessed to the meta-analysis. The proportion of successful smoking cessation in 6 months follow-up were range from 11.7% to 62.2% for the intervention group. In 12 months, follow-up, the abstinence rate ranges from 13.6% to 73%. The popularly of medical staff support the intervention was the physicians (8/17, 47.1%) and doctor (5/17, 29.4%). The evidence from our study suggests that the abstinence rate can be affected by the supporting of medical staff follow the smoking cessation (SC) program.

This study aimed to describe mental health service utilization and examine associated factors among students in Vietnam. Data were collected at eight universities in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2018 using an administered questionnaire. The total number of participants was 9,120 (95.1% response rate). Among stu dents participating in our survey, 12.5% (95% CI: 10.9–14.1) with depression and/or anxiety symptoms used mental health service in the last 12 months. In the multivariable regression models, significant factors associated with mental health ser vice utilization were marital status, types of housemate, men tal health problems, physical activity, smoking status, and alcohol drinking. Our study made recommendations to stake holders for improving mental health services utilization among students in Vietnam. These findings had important implica tions for future research on factors associated with mental health service utilization among university students.
