Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of Community Happiness Program on happiness and resilience quotient of working age people.
Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental research with two-group pretest-posttest design was performed on the working-age people of Rongkwang District, Phrae Province with 50 people in each group. The experimental group received the Community Happiness Program, which has 4 activities: finding the good points of other people, having a warm family, and having life balance with the 8-8-8 principle. The control group received normal care. The data was collected between May 2022 to October 2022. Data collection comprised questionnaires, and case record forms. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired T-test, and independent T-test.
Results: The effects of Community Happiness Program indicated that the experimental group had a higher happiness score (mean difference of 13.5 points, p<0.001), and resilience quotient score (mean difference of 12.3 points, p<0.001). The happiness level and resilience quotient level were better than the control group.
Conclusions: The Community Happiness Program may increase the happiness and resilience quotient.
