The Management for Over Nutrition of Village Health Volunteerin Phitsanulok Province

Abstract

Introdustion this research was aimed1) to analyze causal factors affecting over nutrition of village health volunteers in Phitsanulok Province, 2) to design a model of management for over nutrition of village health volunteers, and 3) to implement and evaluate the model of management for over nutrition of village health volunteers. The research methodology was divided into 3 phases :1) analysis of causal factors, 2) design of a model and                              3) implementation and evaluation of a new model. Phase 1 focused on analyzing causal factors affecting over nutrition of village health volunteers in Phitsanulok Province, and analyzing the relationships between the causal factors to the empirical data. The target population consisted of 392village health volunteer so fover nutrition in Phitsanulok Province from normal group 196 and abnormal group 196. The data were collected by questionnaires. Discriminant analysis was used to analyze. The causal factors affecting the dependent variables were analyzed with the empirical data. Phase 2 focused on designing a model of management for over nutrition of village health volunteers forover nutrition village health volunteers based on the data of phase 1. The model was designed through workshop of twenty five participants. The focus group method was employed for discussion on the model of management for over nutrition of village health volunteers, and the developed model was assessed by three experts. Phase 3 focused on implementing and evaluating the model. The model was implemented to 30 experimental participants, and the model evaluation was identified by the comparison of the research results before and after model implementation, and the comparison of the results of the experimental group and control group. Multivariate analysis of covariance was employed for data analysis.                     The covariance wasscore of waist circumference.

            The major findings were as follows:

1. According to the analysis of the relationship and the empirical data, the finding showed that 4 factors significantly affected the over nutrition of village health volunteer in Phitsanulok Province at the .05 level.                         The factor swerve awareness, activity and exercise behaviors, eating behaviors, and motive.

2. The model of management over nutrition of village health consisted of8 activities: 1) people with more weight, 2)empower, 3)good body, 4) eat for life, 5)best food, 6) fit and firm target, 7)buddy, and 8)exercise.

 3. The management for over nutrition of village health volunteers after mplementing the model were better than before implementing the model.  The experimental group and control group were different at the .05 level of statistical significance.
