Abstract

Background: Alongside the economic and population growth in the Mekong River Delta, there is a significant increase in healthcare needs, especially in inpatient care settings. For those reasons, this research is an initial step to estimate the supportive care needs of inpatients. Objectives: To identify the percentage and the characteristics with a need for inpatient care and support at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Materials and method: An analytical cross-sectional study designed on 200 patients coming to the hospital for examination and treatment at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital was conducted. Results: Over 58.5% of patients required healthcare services, in which the majority were above 60 years old and had an income of more than 10 million VND. The requirement for on-duty medical staff includes qualified nurses (40.2%) and trained undergraduates (35%). The most selected services were mobility assistance, posture correction (76.9%), regular vital signs monitoring (63.2%) and medication administration (63.2%). The expected cost for services was 146.310 ± 46.219 VND per session on average during business hours, and 162.461 ± 66.732 VND per session after hours during the week. Conclusions: There is high demand for inpatient assistance and care support services at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Patient  mobility assistance and posture correction are the two most in-demand services.
