Abstract
This cross-sectional analytical research aimed to identify the predictive factors for drowning prevention operations for children under 15 years old among local administrative organization officers in health region 9. The participants consisted of 335 officers responsible for drowning prevention for children under 15 years old in the local administrative organization within Health Region 9. Determine the sample size by calculating the estimated mean in the population equation and using multi-stage random sampling. Simple random sampling was used to select a representative from operations for children under 15 years old among local administrative organization officers as a population proportion. Data were collected using a questionnaire between February and November 2023. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reporting frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, median, and maximum and minimum values. Predictive factors were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the enter method at a 95% confidence interval. The results of the study found that motivational factors, organizational support, and operational implementation for drowning prevention in children under 15 years old among local administrative officers in Health Region 9 were all at a very high level, with means of 4.57 (S.D. = 0.63), 4.55 (S.D. = 0.70), and 26.14 (S.D. = 3.54), respectively. The predictive factors for drowning prevention operations for children under 15 years old included public health officer positions, motivational, organizational support, professional nurse positions, and public health academic positions. These factors collectively explained 38.0% of the variance in drowning prevention operations among local administrative officers in Health Region 9.
