Effectiveness of Applying the Health Belief Model Concept to Injury Prevention Behavior In the Operation of Patient Transport Staff Phahonyothin Phonphayuhasena Hospital Kanchanaburi Province

Abstract

The objectives of this study were: 1) to compare the operation knowledge of patient transport staff. 2) to compare the perception of the health belief model of patient transport staff, and 3) to compare the operation behavior of patient transport staff before and after the application of the health belief model concept to injury prevention behavior in the operation of patient transport staff at Phahonyothin Phonphayuhasena Hospital, Kanchanaburi Province. The conceptual framework for this research was a health belief model. It was quasieexperimental research. The sample group in the research was 30 patient transport personnel at Phahonyothin Phonphayuhasena Hospital, Kanchanaburi Province, both female and male, between the ages of 20 and 60 years old. The study instrument was a health belief model activity for experiments and a questionnaire for data collection. The data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and paired sample t-test.
The study results revealed that the sample group had 1) knowledge in the operation after applying the health belief model concept to injury prevention behavior in the operation higher than before the experiment at knowledge in the operation after applying the health belief model concept to injury prevention behavior in the operation higher than before the experiment at a statistically significant level of.001; 2) perception of the health belief model after applying the health belief model concept to injury prevention behavior in the operation higher than before the experiment at a statistical significance level of.01; and 3) injury prevention behavior in the operation after applying the health belief model concept to injury prevention behavior in the workplace was different at a statistical significance level of.01.
