Abstract

This experimental study aimed to determine the effects of program of applying social support theory for caregivers on their health behavior to prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease among children in Child Preschool Development Center,Pangkoo Sub-district Administrative Organization, Prakhonchai District, Buriram Province. The samples were divided into 2 groups: the experimental group consisted of 35 caregivers who received program of applying social support theory and the control group consisted of 35 caregivers who received regular health promotion programs by simple random sampling. The instruments were the questionnaire, skills assessment and Illness rate record form. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, paired t-test and independent t-test were applied for data analysis. The results of this study were as follows: 1) after receiving the program, the caregivers had significantly greater mean knowledge regarding the disease, prevention behaviors, and hand washing skills at a significance level of 0.05, compared with those before receiving the program and the control group; and 2) after receiving the program, the incidents of hand foot, and mouth disease were not found among preschool children. This program should be introduced to the caregivers in the kindergarten schools or preschool centers. Additionally, digital media should be developed to provide knowledge, disease prevention behavior and hand washing skills to prevent the spread of hand, foot, and mouth disease.
