Abstract
Prisoner Health Volunteers are persons (PHV.) who play a very important role in Infectious Disease Surveillance in a prison. This descriptive research was conducted via the method of relationship discovery between Infectious Disease Surveillance of Prisoner Health Volunteers and its outcome. This research aimed to study the factors related to Infectious Disease Surveillance of Prisoner Health Volunteers. The studied samples were 266 volunteers selected by simple random sampling.
The results revealed that the most of them had a knowledge, intention and promotion of Infectious Disease Surveillance in a detention center in high levels 96.62%, 69.92% and 64.29% respectively, and support of Infectious Disease Surveillance in a prison in medium level 47.00%. PHV. had high level of operation of Infectious Disease Surveillance in a prison 90.60%. The significant statistical outcome shows a medium level of a positive relationship between the promotion and support of Infectious Disease Surveillance and the Infectious Disease Surveillance performed by Prisoner Health Volunteers at 0.01 (p-value = 0.001 and p-value = 0.001 respectively). The significant statistical outcome shows a low level of a positive relationship between the intention behind Infectious Disease Surveillance in a prison and Infectious Disease Surveillance of Prisoner Health Volunteers at 0.01 (p-value = 0.001). However, age, level of education, and knowledge had no statistically significant relationship with Infectious Disease Surveillance among the volunteers in a detention center. The results of this study are beneficial for related health operation teams and the Department of Corrections in order to achieve more efficient promotion and support of Infectious Disease Surveillance among the Prisoner Health Volunteers.
