2024-12-18T10:00:08+07:00

This quasi-experimental research using one group posttest only design aimed to compare score of knowledge and practice among caregivers of children with pneumonia between before and after experiment. Sample were 34 caregivers of children with pneumonia admitted to pediatric ward 1, Songkhla hospital, calculated by G* Power Analysis and recruited using purposive sampling method. Research instruments consisted of guideline of planned information, knowledge assessment scale and caregivers’ practice questionnaire which had IOC ranging from .67-1.00. Knowledge assessment scale had Kuder

หน้า 2/14

Richardson reliability of .80 and caregivers’ practice questionnaire had Cronbach alpha coefficient of .84. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon signed ranks rest anddependent t test.Research results were found as follows; (1) After providing planned information, mean score of knowledge in caring children with pneumonia was significantly higher than before (M = 8.65, SD = 0.98 vs M = 6.15, SD = 1.31) (p<.001). and (2) After providing planned information, mean score of practice in caring children with pneumonia was significantly higher than before (M = 2.81, SD = 0.12 vs M = 2.10, SD = 0.33) (p<.001). Registered nurses should use guideline of planned information as VDO media for patients, caregivers and relatives to perform as well as extends to OPD clinics by providing proactive knowledge, sharing and exemplifying.

2025-01-15T18:23:08+07:00

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a community-based treatment and rehabilitation program on relapses among individuals undergoing drug addiction treatment. A total of 68 participants were included, divided into an experimental group (n = 34) and a control group (n = 34). The control group consisted of individuals receiving standard drug addiction treatment. Retrospective data were collected from medical records in the 2023 fiscal year. The experimental group comprised newly admitted individuals who received treatment through a community-based treatment and rehabilitation program. Data were collected from February 5, 2024, to April 30, 2024. Data were gathered using a questionnaire that had been validated for content validity, yielding an item-objective congruence (IOC) index ranging from 0.67 to 1.00. Statistical analyses included frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Hypothesis testing was conducted using the Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test, with a statistical significance level set at 0.05.

The results indicated that over a three-month follow-up period, the experimental group had a significantly lower relapse rate compared to the control group (p-value = 0.002). Additionally, at the second-month (third follow-up) and third-month (fourth follow-up) assessments, the experimental group exhibited significantly lower relapse rates than the control group (p-value < 0.05). These findings suggest that community-based treatment and rehabilitation program effectively reduces relapse among individuals undergoing addiction treatment.

Moreover, the research revealed that the reduction in relapse among participants receiving community-based treatment and rehabilitation was attributed to support from healthcare teams, families, and the community. This collaborative effort facilitated planning, supervision, and monitoring of drug use within the community, ensuring that participants completed the treatment and follow-up process as required. As a result, individuals undergoing treatment successfully discontinued drug use.

Service Quality of the Subdistrict Health Promoting Hospital According to the Perception of Service Recipients in the Mueang District Suphanburi Province

2024-12-29T21:01:45+07:00

This research is a cross-sectional survey research to study the service quality
of sub-district health promotion hospitals according to the perception of service recipients in Mueang District, Suphan Buri Province and the factors related to the service quality of sub-district health promotion hospitals according to the perception of service recipients in Mueang District, Suphan Buri Province. The sample group is 211 people who receive services from health promotion hospitals in Mueang District, Suphan Buri Province. The sample is randomly selected using a stratified random sampling method. Data collection is done using a questionnaire, which includes general information of service recipients, attitudes toward service recipients, expectations of service outcomes of service recipients, and the service quality of sub-district health promotion hospitals according to the perception of service recipients. Data are analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square analysis, and Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient.

The results of the study found that the overall service quality of sub-district health promotion hospitals was at a high level, accounting for 91.47 percent, followed by a moderate level, accounting for 7.58 percent. Factors that were significantly related to the service quality of sub-district health promotion hospitals (p-value < 0.05) included personal factors in terms of age, attitudes toward service recipients, and expectations of service outcomes of service recipients. The results of this study suggest that sub-district health promotion hospitals should promote the service quality of sub-district health promotion hospitals more, including providing adequate facilities, modern medical equipment, skilled staff, providing good services, and asking about needs and understanding the differences of service recipients.

Airborne outdoor environmental multidrug resistance bacteria: mini review on ecological source and health impact

2024-09-09T12:02:04+07:00

The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in outdoor environments present a growing threat to public health and ecosystems. This mini-review aims to explore the ecological sources and pathways of airborne MDR bacteria, emphasizing their prevalence in diverse outdoor environments such as urban areas, agricultural lands, and natural habitats. The review is based on a systematic literature review using electronic databases, where relevant studies were identified and analyzed for data on airborne MDR bacteria. The factors contributing to the dissemination of these bacteria, including human activities, animal interactions, and environmental changes, are discussed. Data was sourced from peer-reviewed journals, government reports, and environmental health studies. Health impacts, particularly the role of airborne MDR bacteria in respiratory infections and the potential for community-wide outbreaks, are focused on. The findings emphasize the need for enhanced monitoring, control measures, and global collaboration. By synthesizing current research, this review provides evidence-based recommendations to reduce the risks associated with airborne MDR bacteria and supports policy development.
