Graduation Thesis Defence of Nursing Class 27: Highlighting Practical Values in Professional Practice

On June 18, 2025, Nursing students from Class 27 successfully defended their graduation theses, marking the final milestone of their Bachelor’s journey. The presented topics focused on practical issues in nursing, reflecting both academic competence and professional maturity after four years of study and clinical training.

This year’s Thesis Defence Committee gathered experienced lecturers and experts from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine, Thong Nhat Hospital, An Binh Hospital, and Van Lang University. 

Among the highlighted works, the study “Survey on Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Hepatitis B Infection Prevention among First-Year Health Sciences Students” by Do Thi Bao Chau and “Current Knowledge of Blood Transfusion Safety among Hospital Nurses” by Bui Le Ngoc Huyen received high praise from the Committee for their academic rigour and practical relevance. Both studies were systematically conducted, with clear methodologies and valuable recommendations for education and practice.

Research on professional competence also received positive evaluations from the Committee, notably the study "Survey on Nursing Practice Competence in Hospitals" by Ngo Thuy Quyen and "Evaluation of Nursing Practice Competence of Fourth-Year Nursing Students" by Nguyen Ngo Gia Uyen. These two studies objectively reflected the current status of professional skills, communication and coordination in care, as well as proposed directions for training program improvement.

Research in the community health and chronic disease groups provided a humanistic perspective, focusing on improving patients’ quality of life through nursing interventions and health education. From post-stroke rehabilitation, enhancing self-care ability in kidney failure patients, to managing complications in people with diabetes, the studies demonstrated a deep understanding of patient behaviours and offered practical, interdisciplinary, and applicable solutions in clinical settings.

Belonging to the research group on preventive education, Vo Van Viet Anh's study clarifies the gap in knowledge and practice of preventing hypoglycemia in type 2 diabetes patients undergoing inpatient treatment. Based on hospital surveys, the study recommended integrating short-term counselling programs into care to enhance treatment outcomes and reduce risks of complications.

The thesis defence is the result of the continuous learning and training process, marking a step in students' transformation from the role of learners to practitioners. This year’s research projects were highly commended for their relevance, clarity, and problem-solving approach, serving as strong evidence of Van Lang University’s commitment to practice-oriented education in Health Sciences.
