Knowledge, attitude, and practice on and willingness to pay for human papillomavirus vaccine: a cross-sectional study in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Despite its effectiveness in preventing human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the rate of uptake of the HPV vaccine is low in Vietnam. This study aimed to investigate barriers related to knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) about the HPV vaccine and willingness to pay (WTP) for the vaccine among those using services in an urban vaccination clinic in Hanoi, Vietnam. ⋯ Sexual health education and financial assistance should be imparted alongside the HPV vaccination program.

Improving safety and efficiency in care: multi-stakeholders' perceptions associated with a peritoneal dialysis virtual care solution.
Although there is a growing body of literature on the outcomes and impacts of remote home management with peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, less is understood how this virtual care solution impacts the quality and efficiency of the healthcare system care. In this context, a study was undertaken to understand the perceptions of patients and their caregivers, healthcare providers, health system decision makers, and vendors associated with a remote monitoring and tracking solution aimed at enhancing the outcomes and experiences of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients receiving PD at home. ⋯ The virtual care solution showed promising signs of a patient-centric approach and may serve as a blueprint for other virtual care solutions for chronic disease management.

Factors influencing health self-management in adherence to care and treatment among the recipients of liver transplantation.
Liver transplantation is the global treatment of end-stage liver diseases. Since the patients' survival rate has been improved, the patient may experience reductions in physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functions after liver transplantation influencing their adherence to care and treatment. The transplant survival is complex and patients' adherence to care and treatment should be considered when health care providers make decisions regarding treatment. This qualitative study aimed to explore factors influencing health self-management in adherence to care and treatment among the recipients of care and treatment. ⋯ The participants perceived the health self-management in adherence to care as a set of factors related to "self-regulation" and "self-care" behaviors. "Self-regulation" is required to create a balance in life. Also, "self-care" efforts can help with maintaining and improving patients' health.

Comparison between prefilled syringe and autoinjector devices on patient-reported experiences and pharmacokinetics in galcanezumab studies.
The aim of this study was to compare the usability and patient-rated experiences of an autoinjector with a prefilled syringe in patients with migraine, who self-administered galcanezumab, and to compare pharmacokinetic parameters between these devices. ⋯ The ease of usability with either device was comparable, and there were no significant differences in tolerability between the prefilled syringe and autoinjector with the first self-administration; however, the analysis was not powered to detect a clinically significant difference. Galcanezumab pharmacokinetics were comparable between devices.

Treatment preferences among Japanese women with dysmenorrhea: results from a discrete choice experiment study.
To examine patient preferences for oral and intrauterine system treatments for dysmenorrhea in Japan. ⋯ Mode of administration factored heavily in dysmenorrhea treatment preferences. Women of reproductive age preferred oral medication, especially twice-daily regimen and once-daily fixed cyclic regimen. Findings can potentially help to improve physician-patient communication and treatment decision making. Physicians should consider factors that can influence patient preference to optimize treatment acceptance and adherence.
