ANALYZING CAUSES OF ACCIDENT AT WORK BY USING HFACS: HUMAN FACTORS ANALYSIS AND CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

2024-09-20T10:46:48+07:00

Different factors can cause an accident at work such as individual, organizational and environmental factors. Understanding root causes can prevent the occurrence of accidents at work. This article aimed to describe a method to analyze causes of accident at work, namely Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS). HFACS technique has been accepted widely to be a useful method for analyzing accidents at work in many industries. This technique was originally developed for analyzing human performance and human error in the high-risk industries such as military and aviation. Analyzing causes of accident by using HFACS considers two main factors including I: latent conditions such as Organizational Influences, Unsafe Supervision and Preconditions for Unsafe Acts; and II: active failures such as unsafe act. All factors are subsequently categorized into four levels. The HAFACS’ results can able to know causes of accident holistically for seeking some appropriate ways to manage and prevent them.

THE EFFECT OF PROGRAM HEALTH PROMOTION WITH BASIC LIFE SUPPORT SKILLS OF VILLAGE HEALTH VOLUNTEERS SUB-DISTRICT BANG BUA THONG, BANG BUA THONG DISTRICT, NONTHABURI PROVINCE

Basic life support is important for basic health care of the people, especially village health volunteers who need to have the correct knowledge and skills. This quasi-experimental study aimed to the effect of program applying Pender’s health promotion model with basic life support skills of village health volunteers Sub-District Bang Bua Thong, Bang Bua Thong District, Nonthaburi Province. The samples were divided into two groups. The experimental group consisted of 43 participates group was received a basic life support program and the control group consisted of 43 participates that received regular basic life support program. The simples were selected by simple random sampling. The instruments were applying Pender’s health promotion program questionnaire and skills assessment. Frequencies, percentage, mean, standard deviation, paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test were applied for data analysis. The results of this study were as follows: After receiving the applying Pender’s health promotion program the village health volunteers Sub-District Bang Bua Thong, Bang Bua Thong District, Nonthaburi Province, the experimental group had knowledge basic life support and basic life support skills: patient assessment, chest compressions, and automated external defibrillator (AED) significantly better than before receiving the program and then the control group at < .01 levels.

The relevant agencies can further develop programs in nearby areas or similar contexts.

FACTORS AFFECTING OF THE VILLAGE HEALTH VOLUNTEERS ON DENGUE FEVER IN SO PHISAI DISTRICT, BUENG KAN PROVINCE

2024-09-20T10:24:47+07:00

This Cross-sectional descriptive study aimed to investigate the level of dengue prevention and control behavior of village health volunteers. and to study factors affecting dengue prevention and control among village health volunteers in Sophisai District, Bueng Kan Province. The sample group was 253 village health volunteers working in Sophisai District Bueng Kan Province, The instruments used included questionnaires on knowledge about dengue fever, motivation for prevention, measures for control, and adequacy of resources for preventing and controlling dengue fever. The content validity index ranged from 0.67 to 1.00, with an overall reliability coefficient of 0.76. Data analysis involved frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis, with a significance at level .05. The findings indicated that 73.12% of the sample exhibited high levels of dengue fever prevention and control behavior (mean=3.96, SD=0.66). The variables that predicted the prevention and control behaviors of the village health volunteers included: perception of the severity of dengue fever (b=0.767, 95% CI=0.631-0.902, p-value< .001), perceived risk of contracting dengue fever (b=0.152, 95% CI=0.045-0.258, p-value= .005), and the sufficiency of resources for dengue fever prevention (b=0.105, 95% CI=0.023-0.186, p-value= .012), all significant at the .05 level. These factors explained 47.90% of the variance in the dengue prevention and control behaviors of the village health volunteers (R²=0.479). The study suggests that relevant agencies should organize training sessions and ensure sufficient resources for dengue fever prevention; so that village health volunteers can effectively utilize them in their dengue prevention and control efforts.
