Objective: To describe the current status of inpatient nursing care at the Eye Hospital of Ho Chi Minh City.
Subject and method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 106 nurses working in clinical departments at the Eye Hospital of Ho Chi Minh City from January to March 2026. Data were collected through structured interviews and direct observation using a 26-item checklist. Data were analyzed using Stata version 18 with descriptive statistics.
Results: The average quality-of-care score was 20.71/26, with 73.58% of nurses achieving over 80% of the total score. Nursing care activities were performed at a relatively good level, including psychological care (75.47%–82.08%), health counseling and education (74.53%–91.51%), and patient monitoring and assessment (79.25%–83.96%). Lower performance rates were observed in nutritional care and personal hygiene (69.81%–77.36%). Medication care activities ranged from 75.47% to 84.91%. More than 60% of nurses reported that work-related, organizational, and workplace environmental factors had an impact or a strong impact on nursing care activities.
Conclusion: The quality of inpatient nursing care was fairly good, with a mean score of 20.71/26 points. Most nursing care activities were implemented adequately; however, several criteria were not fully achieved, potentially due to workload, staffing, organizational management, and workplace environment factors.
