Referral Information on Cancer Patients, Quality of Usage the LINE Official AccountAbstract
The quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effects of the cancer patient information referral program for treatment with line application on rate of patient hospitalization and quality of line application usage of the fifth health region cancer network nurses between the experimental group and the control group. The sample group was professional nurses on duty to pass information on cancer patients and new case of cancer. The sample size was calculated for 60 people, divided into an experimental group of 30 people and a control group of 30 people, by using a purposive sampling. Research instruments used was the cancer patient information referral program for treatment with line application account were on the quality of line application account usage of the record form on rate of patient hospitalization from HOSxP program. The content validity index was 0.94 and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was at 0.92. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics and Paired t-test, independent t-test and Chi-square
The results showed that 1) The experimental group had the mean scores usage for line application after participating the cancer patient information referral program was higher than before the control group statistically significant (p<.05). The mean of the experimental group was at the high level ( = 4.38, S.D. =.36). The mean of the control group was at the moderate level ( = 3.23, S.D. =.24) 2) The experimental group was patient hospitalization rate of higher than the control group statistically significant (p<.05) and 3) The control group had patient hospitalization rate of after experimental group higher than before the experimental group statistically significant (p < .05). The research shows that the Cancer Patient Information Referral Program for Treatment can help the patient's entire treatment to fast. The research shows that the executives of the provincial public health officer should apply the patient information referral program as a guideline for the development of a data coordination system for patients between the hospital network of health districts to be more efficient. It can be a guideline for applying the network referral system in other chronic diseases.
