This research was a cross-sectional analytical study. The purpose of this study was to examine factors affecting working-age people's future intentions to use private nursing homes in Muang Samut Sakhon District, Samut Sakhon Province. A total of 275 participants were recruited using multistage sampling. Data were obtained using a questionnaire constructed within a quality check for content validity by three experts. IOC ratings ranged from 0.67-1.00 on each question. Cronbach's alpha coefficient formula was used to conduct confidence tests on 5 sides. The values for each side were 0.86, 0.82, 0.88, 0.84, and 0.86. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, stepwise multiple regression analysis, Chi-Square, and ANOVA. It was found that the working age group, which varies from 25 to 59 years old, had varying intents to utilize private nursing homes in the future, determined by marital status, educational level, and occupation. However, there was no difference in average monthly income. Statistically significant, younger age groups were less likely to use the service than older age groups. Overall, the average level of opinion on many aspects of the theory of planned behavior was high. The adjusted predictive efficiency, as determined by stepwise multiple regression analysis, was found to be 0.276 (p-value <0.001), or 27.60 percent. Based on this information, the following equation was created to estimate the likelihood that working-age individuals will use private nursing home services in the future: Y = 2.030 + 0.350 (subjective norm) + 0.292 (attitude toward behavior). Results indicate that there is a potential for private nursing home services. Promoting information on the elderly's benefits and health value is recommended, to encourage a positive mindset, awareness, and attitude, resulting in motivation.
