In the afternoon of June 24 and 25, 2023, the Nursing major of Van Lang University held the graduation thesis defense in 2023 for 10 students of course 24.

In the afternoon of June 24 and 25, 2023, the Nursing major of Van Lang University held the graduation thesis defense in 2023 for 10 students of course 24. The graduation thesis is a significant and memorable milestone in the student's life. This is an independent scientific research project that allows students to systematize their school-learned knowledge and skills, as well as apply and develop scientific discoveries to solve a practical problem in the field they are studying.

After over 6 months of hard work and dedication in developing the topic ideas, conducting research and surveys at hospitals with the support of the thesis supervisors, Course 24 Nursing students confidently presented their topic in front of the council and answered their critical questions.

Inspired by relevant issues that are practical to the current health industry, the students went directly to hospitals to conduct surveys, carefully monitor the processes, then calculate and generate the most realistic data possible to develop and choose their topics.

Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects both developed and developing countries. There are 573 million people worldwide infected with the disease, including 3.5 million in Vietnam, where the risk of foot ulcers accounts for 25%. However, patients can avoid this complication if they understand and practice the proper foot self-care process. Based on the aforementioned concerns, student Nguyen Hanh Nhu Quynh conducted a "Survey on knowledge and practice of self-care of diabetic patients' feet," with the research subject being patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes currently being treated as inpatients at Thong Nhat Hospital's Department of Endocrinology and Orthopedic Surgery.

A pressure ulcer is a necrotic tissue lesion that develops between the bone and the hard substrate. Despite numerous advances in the care of high-risk patients, treating pressure ulcers remains a challenging issue for medicine in general, and nurses in particular. Kim Hong, a student with the topic "Survey on knowledge and attitudes of nurses about care for pressure ulcer prevention," conducted a questionnaire survey with nurses, providing data based on the factors of a number of responses, age, experience, and education of nurses.

MSc. Doan Thi Ngan, Critical Commissioner, gave compliments to student To Kim Hong: “This is a pretty good topic with investment in survey implementation. She was the first student to defend a thesis but gave a very confident presentation. The council admires her meticulousness, thoroughness, problem-solving, and method of implementation of the thesis.”

Congratulations to the Course 24 Nursing students who successfully defended their Graduation Thesis. With a solid foundation from Van Lang University and special equipment for health students, it is hoped that this will serve as luggage and motivation for nurses to continue to devote themselves and progress further in their careers.
