https://li01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/pnujr/article/view/264818
<p>The quasi-experimental research aimed to investigate the effects of using bilangual (Thai-Malayu) cartoon animation on knowledge and attitudes towards age-appropriate vaccinations as well as cartoon animation satisfaction. Samples were 32 parents of children aged zero to five years old who postponed their children's immunization schedules and resided in the Narathiwas province. The design thinking method of: 1) empathizing; 2) defining the problem; 3) ideating; 4) prototyping; and 5) testing was used to develop the bilingual (Thai-Malayu) cartoon animation that served as the trial's instruments. The instruments used to collect the data included a knowledge measurement, and an attitude questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using average, standard deviation, Pair t-test and satisfaction questionnaire.</p> <p>The results showed that samples' average scores of knowledges and attitude toward vaccination were statistically significantly higher after using the program (t = 1.26, t = 1.87, p<0.05, respectively), and they were highly satisfied with the use of the bilingual (Thai-Malayu) cartoon animation (M = 4.54, SD = 1.02). According to the study's findings, caregivers may find it particularly enjoyable to learn from bilingual (Thai-Malayu) cartoon animation since it tells a true story that they can employ in their everyday lives. Additionally, it uses a language that is acceptable for the people living in the three southern border provinces.</p> Wanisa Hayeese, Hamdee mayae

https://li01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/pnujr/article/view/264427
<p>The purpose of this predictive regression analysis study was to investigate the factors associated with suicidal ideation in junior high school students. A multi-stage random sampling was used to recruit samples of 280 junior high school students in Mueang district, Nakhon Ratchasima province. The following research tools were used: 1) a questionnaire about stressful life events; 2) a measure of adolescents' coping strategies; and 3) an assessment of suicide ideation. The results of reliability indexes of these instruments were 0.91, 0.71, and 086, respectively. Data were analyzed by using frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, range, and multiple regression analysis. </p> <p>The findings showed that: 1) The three most stressful events in their lives were students' problems with their study course, study limitations, and friends, with scores of 90.00, 85.40, and 83.90, respectively; 2)The three coping strategies that students used the most were self-competency, other support resources, and problem avoidance (81.10, 64.30, and 44.60, respectively); 3) students' suicidal ideation was low, high, and very high (79.30, 12.10, and 8.60, respectively); 4) There were five factors linked to suicidal ideation in students: coping strategies by avoiding problems, coping strategies by using other resources for support, stressful life events involving study course problems, problems with teachers, and problems with lovers (β =.291, -.279, .131, .126, and .126, respectively) .Suicidal ideation among students was predicted by these characteristics in 29.10% (R2=.291, p<.05). The results can be used to reduce suicide ideation in students by reducing stressful events and encouraging students to use appropriate coping strategies.</p>Suphakarn Prachumchalad, Rungrat Sukadaecha, Arriya Phonsongkram, Tairat Pongkhamsing, Chonthicha krueasaeng, Pitchayapa kakunmalee, Wannisa Teamthong, Supaporn Saosiri

https://li01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/pnujr/article/view/264922
<p>Nutritional status among preschool children is an indicator of both their general health and the fundamental elements necessary for healthy growth. The objectives of this study were to: 1) examine the state of nutritional status among preschool children in three southern border provinces; and 2) investigate relationship between caregiver and child characteristics and nutritional status among preschool children in three southern border provinces. Samples were 96 caregivers of preschool children. Data were collected between January and May, 2024 with validated instruments comprised of: 1) a questionnaire for the personal information of preschool children and caregiver; 2) a record form for the nutritional status of preschool children; 3) a questionnaire for the consuming behavior of preschool children; 4) a measurement of the caregiver's knowledge regarding the nutritional status of preschool children; 5) a questionnaire for the preparation of food for preschool children; and 6) a questionnaire regarding the caregiver's attitude toward consuming. The reliability index values of these instruments were 0.80, 0.90, 0.80, and 0.82. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and point biserial correlation coefficients.</p> <p>The results found that 64.6% of preschool children had normal nutritional status. Consuming food behavior of children, caregiver’s nutritional status knowledge, and caregivers' food preparation behavior had statistically significant positive correlations with children's nutritional status (rpb =.378, p < .01; rpb = .226, rpb = .203, p < .05). However, there was a statistically significant negative association between the caregiver's attitude regarding consumption and the children's nutritional status. (rpb = -.207, p < .05).</p> <p>It is necessary to encourage the caregiver's food consuming behavior, provide health education regarding nutritional status to the caregiver, encourage proper food preparation behaviors for the children, and encourage a positive attitude toward caregiver consumption to achieve normal nutritional status for preschool children.</p>Pramote Thapchan, Nethong Namprom, Jutamas Chotibang

https://li01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/pnujr/article/view/262778
<p>The objectives of this retrospective descriptive study were to examine the effect of the medication reconciliation process, the quantity, nature, and degree of severity of medication errors, as well as the correlation between medication reconciliation and the type and magnitude of medication errors that occurred in the medical ward. Patients with past medication histories who were admitted to the medical ward at Sungai Kolok hospital between October 1, 2022, and September 30, 2023, served as samples of this study. Data was gathered from the hospital data-based system and the medication reconciliation form. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, the results showed that 1360 samples of 2760 patients had a history of medical usage prior to admission. The majority of 1008 patients had either hypertension alone or hypertension in conjunction with another illness. Pharmacists discovered medication errors in 324 patients throughout the admission period and 134 patients during the hospital discharge procedure. The three highest levels of medication errors were ordering medications that were not on the hospital list, making omission errors, and changing the dosage and mode of medication use. Only medication errors in severity levels B and C were discovered. Analyzing the relationship between medication reconciliation and the type and magnitude of medication errors revealed that there were statistically significant relationships between medication reconciliation and medication errors found in each severity level (p < 0.001) and the medication reconciliation process had statistically significant relationships with the type of medication errors regarding commission errors (P-value = 0.042). However, in this study no statistically significant relationship was found between the medication reconciliation process with other types of medication errors.</p>Kanchana Keawmang

https://li01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/pnujr/article/view/264777
<p>The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to health and well-being are closely connected to drug security, which in this study refers to “available when in need” for both normal and emergencies. This study was secondary research, employing a scoping review methodology to gather data on the legal factors affecting drug security issues in Thailand from January 1, 2000 to August 31, 2024. The data was gathered from academic databases and evaluated using the PRISMA-Scr Flow Diagram, alongside an exploration of legal awareness related to drug security through the Newscenter X news database. This study identified that the main issues affecting drug security in Thailand include reliance on imported pharmaceutical raw materials, inefficient management of the drug supply chain, the complexity of laws related to patents, trade competition, and international trade, which obstruct the production and access to generic drugs. Additionally, the system for procuring and supplying medicines during emergencies has proven inadequate in meeting demand promptly. Existing laws and measures require improvement to ensure drug security. The key recommendations from this study include the development of a new legal framework to support domestic drug production, procurement systems efficiency for greater flexibility and speed, and implementing compulsory licenses under patent laws when necessary to enhance access to affordable medicines for the people.</p>Parun Rutjanathamrong, Chaoncin Sooksriwong, Vijj Kasemsap, Vasin PiPattanachat, Vinit Usavakidviree, Kannikar Kijtiwatchakul
