Abstract

This research and development study aims to 1) develop a health data management program for a synthetic fiber and plastic resin workplace in Bangkok and 2) evaluate user satisfaction with the program. The research methodology consists of 1) problem analysis 2) program development and trial 3) user satisfaction evaluation 4) program improvement. The program is developed using Microsoft Excel and Visual Basic for Application (VBA) programming language. It is divided into three parts: 1) user information, 2) health data recording form, and 3) health information report. The program can systematically store current and past health data. It analyzes and interpret health data accurately and quickly. The program can generate comprehensive health information reports that present data in tables and graphs, including average values. These reports provide both an overview of the company's overall health information and individual employee health information. User satisfaction with the program is evaluated using satisfaction evaluation questionnaires. These questionnaires cover three aspects: security, content, and program efficiency. The evaluation is conducted among three groups of users: 1) the health data recording staff (n=7), 2) the management-level staff (n=17), and 3) the staff using individual health reports (n=213). The findings indicate that users are highly satisfied with the program in all aspects. The program ensures data security, provides content that meets user needs, and is efficient for recording and managing health data in this particular workplace.
