Abstract

Ojectives: HBV is a disease with long-term chronic course or flare-ups, the consequences of chronic HBV can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Therefore, early detection and treatment is very meaningful. However, this depends on the patient's perception of the disease. Against this background, we conducted this study with two objectives

Objectives: 1. Describe knowledge, attitude and practice about hepatitis B virus infection of patients infected with hepatitis B virus being treated at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases in 2021. 2. Quality assessment of life of patients infected with hepatitis B virus  treated at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases in 2021.

Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of 112 hepatitis B patients treated at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases in 2021.

Results and conclusions: Most of the subjects had moderate knowledge of symptoms (62.5%), while 21.43% of patients had good knowledge. 74.11% of patients think that hepatitis B can cause cirrhosis, 62.86% cause liver cancer. Most of the subjects had knowledge about diet and measures to prevent hepatitis B infection. Of which: 60.71% of patients had good knowledge about hepatitis B, 32.14% at moderate level and 7.14% at low level . When they found out they were infected with hepatitis B, 14.29% of patients felt scared, 44.64% worried and 41.07 thought it was normal.
