VHV's Performance, VHV doctor at homeAbstract
This cross-sectional research aims to study factors effecting performance of Village Health Volunteer (VHV) doctor at home in Chaiyaphum province. The sample group consists of 250 VHV doctors at home who have passed the village health volunteers (VHV) training course and are working in Chaiyaphum province. Questionnaire was used to collect data which subsequently analyzed for descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics (Chi-square), to test the hypothesis and association of variables.
The results indicated that the overall performance of VHV doctors at home was at a moderate level. The factors that could predict performance were proven to be statistically significant (p-value ≤ 0.05), specifically attitudes towards work: supporting for family’s health volunteers, reduction of chronic diseases, addressing mental health issues, managing substance abuse cases and accidents; transferring knowledge of Thai wisdom: herbal medicine and medical marijuana uses; using of communication tools and applications: health screening and assessment with a team of family doctors, being a focal person for health networks, and managing health problems within family and community contexts, including referrals. Therefore, such factors should be defined as promoting factors for the performance of the VHV doctor at home.
