Abstract

The job of village health volunteers (VHVs) is to coordinate between Thai government departments and the public. Such work can lead to boredom, discouragement, and physical and mental exhaustion. Therefore, strengthening the positive ability of VHVs can help them cope with fatigue. It is essential to continue supporting VHVs; consequently, it is necessary to incorporate Eastern wisdom into healthcare provided for village health volunteers. Purposive sampling was used in this descriptive research to study the relationship between self-care behaviors by applying Eastern wisdom to support and enhance the mental strength of the VHVs. The sample consisted of 77 VHVs in Southern Thailand. Demographic data questionnaire, self-care behavior questionnaire by applying Eastern wisdom, and resilience questionnaire were used to collect data. Pearson’s correlation was used to analyze data. The relationship between self-care behavior by applying Eastern wisdom and resilience was found to have a statistically significant positive correlation (r = .246, p < .05). The relationship between self-care behavior by applying Eastern wisdom and resilience in this study was weak, but there was a positive correlation. Thus, health care providers should promote and integrate Eastern wisdom into self-care activities with VHVs.

乡村卫生志愿者自我护理行为与东方智慧应用和复原力的相关性：泰国南部的一项横断面研究

乡村卫生志愿者的工作是在泰国政府部门和公众之间进行协调。这样的工作会导致无聊、气馁、身心疲惫。因此，加强VHV的积极能力可以帮助他们应对疲劳。必须继续支持VHV；因此，有必要将东方智慧融入乡村卫生志愿者的医疗保健中。本描述性研究采用目的性抽样，运用东方智慧支持和增强VHV的心理力量，研究自我照顾行为之间的关系。样本由泰国南部的77台VHV组成。采用人口学数据问卷、运用东方智慧进行的自我护理行为问卷和复原力问卷进行数据收集。使用皮尔逊相关分析数据。应用东方智慧的自我照顾行为与恢复力之间存在统计学显著正相关（r=.246，p<.05）。本研究中应用东方智慧自我照顾行为和恢复力之间的关系较弱，但存在正相关。因此，医疗保健提供者应该推广东方智慧，并将其融入VHV的自我保健活动中。
