In Vietnam, the prevalence of COPD is 4.2% of the general population. Since December 2010, program for COPD and asthma management is incorporated in the national program against non-communicable diseases. Objectives: To determine the knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) regarding to diagnosis and management of COPD among doctors in hospitals of 10 cities and provinces in the Northern Vietnam. Methods: A standardized questionnaire was completed by 461 doctors to assess their KAP in diagnostic and management of COPD before their participation in training course from June to December 2012. Results: Among 461 respondents, there were 66.8% doctors who work in the province/city hospitals and 33.2% doctors in the district hospitals. Majority of doctors did not fully understand the risk factors of the disease; the most important risk factor for COPD were cigarette smoke (89.8% of the doctor), followed by biomass smoke and dust (51.5%), respiratory infections (38.5%), gene factor (16.3%), abnormalites in lung (9.1%), socio – economic factors (5.0%). Only 43.9% of doctors were able to list the 4 criteria to diagnose COPD and only 23.5% of doctors had the correct answer for the staging of COPD according GOLD 2011. Results showed that only 14.3 % of doctors guided patients to use the drug delivery devices in the prescription. Conclusion: Our results revealed that, there is lack of awareness and urgent need of education on diagnosis and management of COPD for Vietnamese doctors.
