The study presents a cross-sectional analysis via a web-based survey to assess the awareness and experiences of Vietnamese health professionals and community workers on climate and epidemic changes and their impacts on society. Health professionals, medical students, and community workers were included in the survey. Factor analysis was used to explore the construct validity of measures, and Multivariable Tobit regression models were used to examine associated factors with awareness about climate and epidemic changes and impacts on society. Results showed that the awareness of participants about climate and epidemic changes was moderately-low, while the awareness about the impacts on society were moderately high. Community workers show higher awareness of climate and epidemic changes compared to health professionals. People working in provincial levels had a lower score (Coef. = -0.64, 95%CI = −1.19 to −0.09) than those working in central level. Compared to Northern participants, those living in Central and Southern regions have lower awareness scores regarding “Changes in weather and epidemics” and “Changes in the environment” compared to Northern people. The higher awareness about climate and epidemic changes were found to be correlated with the higher awareness of “Impacts on health, society and economy” and “Impact on individuals and families”. Community workers scored lower in “Impact on individuals and families” compared to health professionals (Coef.-0.75; 95%CI = −1.34 to −0.16). This study emphasized the vulnerabilities of Vietnamese communities to epidemics and climate change. It suggests the involvements of intersectoral taskforces in the preparedness and responses to climate change and epidemics.

该研究通过基于网络的调查进行了横断面分析，以评估越南卫生专业人员和社区工作者对气候和流行病变化及其对社会的影响的认识和经验。调查包括卫生专业人员、医学生和社区工作者。因子分析用于探索措施的结构有效性，多变量 Tobit 回归模型用于检查与气候和流行病变化及其对社会影响的认识相关的因素。结果显示，参与者对气候和流行病变化的认知度中等偏低，而对社会影响的认知度偏高。与卫生专业人员相比，社区工作者对气候和流行病变化的意识更高。在省级工作的人得分低于在中央工作的人（系数 = -0.64，95%CI = -1.19 至 -0.09）。与北方人相比，居住在中南地区的人对“天气和流行病的变化”和“环境变化”的认知得分低于北方人。人们发现，对气候和流行病变化的意识越高，“对健康、社会和经济的影响”和“对个人和家庭的影响”的意识就越高。与卫生专业人员相比，社区工作者在“对个人和家庭的影响”方面得分较低（系数 -0.75；95%CI = -1.34 至 -0.16）。这项研究强调了越南社区对流行病和气候变化的脆弱性。
