Action Research, Community Health Care System, Tawhangtan Sub-DistrictAbstract
The purpose of this action research was to develop a community health program in Tawhangtan Sub-district, Saraphi District, Chiang Mai Province. The study had 35 participants including a monk, community leaders, health volunteers, and staff from a local health promotion hospital. The research methods included: 1) the development of community health plans 2) project implementation and evaluation; and 3) reflection.
The results showed that participants improved their skills in expressing ideas, coaching, and report writing. Many community projects were created, such as a community waste management project and a project encouraging households to plant traditional medicinal herbs.
The sustainability of a community health program requires the full participation of community members. The participation begins with analyzing community problems and needs. Further action required includes developing ongoing learning processes, distribution of information on utilization of resources, and integration within community patterns. In addition, it requires partnerships with related organizations, such as local administrative organizations, health promotion hospitals, and educational institutions that can support aspects that go beyond the ability of the community.
