Development of Guidelines for Preventing Accidents from Riding a Sidecar Motorcycle of the Elderly in Chachoengsao Province

Abstract

This study is a research and development initiative to create instructions for senior people in Chachoengsao Province to reduce accidents when riding motorbikes with sidecars. The target group for the purposive focus group discussion included public health academics, traffic inspector, district doctor, Chachoengsao Provincial Transport Office, Academic Department, and the elderly. There are four steps in the research process: 1) research scenarios and issues; 2) create guidelines; 3) test guidelines; and 4) assess the effectiveness of recommendations implemented from May to July 2023. Thirty participants were tested using multi-stage sampling based on the percentage of the older population in each district, and data were gathered through focus groups and interviews. While content analysis was used to examine the qualitative data, descriptive statistics and paired t-tests were used to investigate the quantitative data. The study's findings revealed that, both before and after the three strategies listed below were put into place in Chachoengsao Province are much different at the 0.05 level. Four factors make up the CIPP Model quality assessment: 1) contextualization, 2) leading Factors, 3) process Evaluation, and 4) outcome evaluation. It was discovered that perspectives on recommendations for preventing traffic accidents involving elderly people riding motorcycles with sidecars are held by experts and network partners. The averages for every factor were high (3.64 ± 0.39). Recommendations for putting the principles into practice should identify the limitations of rural and urban community situations with various road configurations.
