The current results indicate that the majority of VHVs demonstrated adequate HL followed by excellent HL. Positive attitudes, high motivation, and over 10 years of experience were key factors linked to better HL. To enhance HL levels, educational interventions should target VHVs with neutral attitudes, low motivation, and less than 10 years of experience
