Abstract

This integrated research aimed to study the health situation perception and problems of the aging people; the relationships between personal factors, health care behaviors, and medicinal usage behaviors; including participatory development and promotion model for the aging health situations at the local level. The samples consisted of 332 aging samples and 70 key informants in Kungtapao sub-district, Mueang district, Uttaradit province. Data were collected by the use of a set of questionnaires, observation format, and focus group discussion items, then, the collected data were analyzed by using frequency, distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Chi-square test, Pearson's correlation, and content analysis.

The study results revealed that the health situation perception level of the aging people was found at a less level (Mean=2.05, Standard deviation =1.14). The samples’ personal factors, which consisted of income sufficiency and family status, daily life ability, health perception and health problems had a statistically significant relation with their self-care behavior (p-value≤ .05). The appropriateness was found as relating to the model and its practicable components, which consisted of its participatory characteristics, inputs, knowledge management process, and local area-based management within the aging people's context. This research initiated a new body of knowledge for creating the new sense of paradigm shift, health awareness based on a participatory health literacy and self-reliance principles among the aging people.
