Abstract

This study was aimed at strengthening primary school children’s capacities as ‘health-promoting actors’. A participatory action research (PAR) design was implemented in five semi-rural primary schools in Mahasarakham Province. Selected students were identified as health promoting targets and planned for changing themselves by following a health promoting plan with the participatory action of their families and their schools. Quantitative data and qualitative data were collected and analyzed. The qualitative results indicated that to attain the goals of HPS it is important that using student capabilities to generate ways to solve their health-related problems becomes a fundamental strategy such as students communicating with health promotion strategies from the school through the families, building a stronger relationship between teachers-families-students, and students’ capability as ‘health promoting actors’. The possible roles for school teachers and health personnel assisting HPS program can revealed in quantitative analysis. Results showed that the student’s knowledge of health promoting school significantly decreased from before the training course (P < 0.001) The mean score of HPS knowledge after experiment was higher than before the experiment which are the HPS training scores (M = 9.5319, SD = 1.62) was significantly higher than before attending (M = 8.4681, SD = 1.52; t = - 6.173, p = < 0.001) HPS course. The result of this study using Home Visit can increase the participatory actions among Primary School students, teachers, family members. It can lead to more benefits in individual self efficacy and the development of healthcare among societies.

提高小学生健康促进行动者的能力
这项研究的目的是加强小学生作为"促进健康行动者"的能力。在马哈萨拉罕省的五所半农村小学实施了参与式行动研究(PAR)设计。选定的学生被确定为促进健康的目标,并计划通过家庭和学校的参与行动,按照促进健康计划改变自己。收集并分析了定量资料和定性资料。质性结果表明,要实现健康促进计划的目标,重要的是要利用学生的能力来产生解决健康问题的方法,这是一项基本策略,如学生通过家庭与学校的健康促进策略进行沟通,建立更牢固的教师-家庭-学生之间的关系,以及学生作为“健康促进行动者”的能力。定量分析可以揭示学校教师和卫生人员协助HPS计划的可能作用。结果显示,学生对健康促进学校的知识知晓程度较参加培训前显著降低(P < 0.001),而参加培训后的HPS知识平均得分高于参加培训前,其中HPS培训得分(M = 9.5319, SD = 1.62)显著高于参加培训前(M = 8.4681, SD = 1.52;t = - 6.173, p = < 0.001)。本研究结果显示,使用家访可以增加小学生、教师、家庭成员的参与行为。它可以在个人自我效能和社会医疗保健发展方面带来更多的好处。关键词:能力建设;促进健康行为者;促进健康学校;参与式行动研究;小学;Mahasarakham
