Methods: The participants, 348 village health volunteers were recruited by Multi-stage random sampling. The questionnaires consisted of 5 sections. The content validity of second to fifth sections confirmed by three experts: IOC, yielding values of 1, .96, 1 and .80 respectively. The reliability of the questionnaires was tested using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, yielding values of .97, .98, .98 and .96 respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics<br />and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The level of maternal and child health promotion participation was moderate (M = 53.57, SD = 9.83). Considering factors affecting on participation of maternal and child health promotion, work motivation (ß = .405, p < .001) and social support (ß = .368, p < .001) could significantly predict 46.30% of maternal and child health promotion participation variance (Adjusted R<sup>2</sup> =.463, p < .001). However, perceived self-efficacy could not predict participation of maternal and child health promotion among village health volunteers (ß = .040, p = .423). Conclusion: In order to drive maternal and child health care, village health volunteers should be motivated and received social support to be able to continually participation in the care of maternal and child health promotion.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Research in Nursing-Midwifery and Health Sciences }, author={Kultanan, JItranan and Chunuan, Sopen and Suwanruangsri, Sarana and Leelatiwanon, Tarinan}, year={2022}, month={Mar.}, pages={73–84} }
