Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the appropriateness and scalability of two human resources (HR) tools in HIV/AIDS prevention and control in all seven piloted provinces in Vietnam after one year of application. Methods: A mixed-method approach was employed in seven provinces in Vietnam from December 2021 to March 2022. An online cross-sectional survey was administered to 234 health staff who have directly applied the HR tools and qualitative interviews included 24 in-depth interviews with key informants involved in the process of applying the tools. Results: This evaluation demonstrated the appropriateness of the HRM-supporting tools in addressing existing HRM challenges and their compatibility with local requirements within the HIV/AIDS prevention and control setting. Moreover, feedback from stakeholders, including health managers, policymakers, and decision-makers at the national, provincial, and district levels, indicated a strong commitment to accept and incorporate these tools into routine HRM practices, ensuring the scalability of these interventions beyond the HIV/AIDS sector. Conclusion: The use of HRM-supporting tools should be a priority in future HIV/AIDS programming efforts and be scaled up in the whole healthcare system and other areas in Vietnam, conducted collaboratively with local stakeholders and adapted to evolving local contexts and needs. Keywords: Human resource management, HIV/AIDS prevention and control, WISN, tools, scalability, appropriateness.
