In recent years, career decision-making has attracted research attention, especially choosing careers among graduates. Making informed and appropriate career choices are positively related to work performance and career success. The present study investigates the factors influencing career choice among social work graduates. A sample of 417 social work graduates was recruited to complete the survey. Descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data. Our results show that there is a positive correlation between environmental, interpersonal, institutional, external, internal factors and career choice. Additionally, multiple regression analysis indicates that external and internal factors influence career choice among graduates. The present findings contribute to the general discussion about the influential factors in graduates' career choices. University administrators must develop career guidance and counseling programs more broadly in universities to support graduates in making appropriate career choices.   Received: 27 December 2021 / Accepted: 31 March 2022 / Published: 5 May 2022

The Coronavirus disease pandemic of 2019 is a vast worldwide public health hazard, impacting people of all ages and socioeconomic statuses. Vaccination is one of the most effective methods of controlling a pandemic like COVID-19. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the number of vaccination injections and fear of COVID-19 and test whether beliefs benefit from vaccination COVID-19 mediate the effect of fear of COVID-19 on the number of vaccination injections. A total of 649 Vietnamese adults were enrolled online to finish answering, including scales The Health Belief Model (HBM) and The Fear of COVID-19 (FCV-19S), consisting of 340 (52.4%) males and 309 (47.6%) females. The data were analyzed using variance, regression, and a simple mediation model. The total score of COVID-19 fear was M = 22.26, SD = 5.49. Vietnamese fear of COVID-19 was at a medium level. Our results suggest that 18- to 20-year-olds are more fearful of COVID-19 than others. People who received the first dosage exhibited a greater fear of COVID-19 than those who received the second dose and were not inoculated. Additionally, the beliefs benefit of vaccination COVID-19 has a role in the relationship between the number of vaccination injections and fear of COVID-19. During the pandemic, adults in Vietnam are more afraid of COVID-19 than during prior outbreaks. Besides, the Vietnamese populace demonstrated a considerable demand for and high acceptability of the COVID-19 vaccine. The current study indicates that psychological counselors and therapists should counsel clients on the value of vaccination and address the fear of COVID-19 as public understanding of the benefits of vaccines increases. To further clarify the effect of this issue on the correlation between fear of COVID-19 and the number of vaccinations, the results of this study indicate that the existing vaccine communication factor for COVID-19 vaccination should be modified to increase confidence in the benefits of immunization.

For many researchers, satisfaction is a perennially popular research topic, with satisfaction in education being one of the most prevalent aspects. There are a few previous studies that have looked into the satisfaction of parents and students with their high school and college experiences. However, research on parental satisfaction with preschool education is limited, particularly in Vietnam. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influenced parents' satisfaction with their children's preschool education. A total of 511 parents in Danang agreed to take part in the study. In this study, multi-regression analysis was carried out to find out relations between response to information, teachers, and educational programs; financial costs; facilities, equipment, and supplies; care and support; and parents' satisfaction. It was found that a majority of participants expressed satisfaction with the quality of preschool education and showed their willingness to pay for it. The most influential factor affecting parents' satisfaction was identified as facilities, including other factors such as response to information, teachers, and educational programs; financial costs; care and support discussed in detail. Future research may build on the findings of this study and investigate additional factors such as practical and convenience factors or a measure of average classroom learning gains that may have an impact on the satisfaction of parents.
