Abstract

Introduction: Promoting community participation in patient care through online geospatial system using the Praboromarajchanok Institute Model (PBRI model) can improve health - related quality of life and reduce complications for patients with chronic diseases.

Research objectives: To develop an online geospatial system based on the PBRI model for caring for patients with chronic diseases through village health volunteers’participation and to examine the effectiveness.

Research methodology: This research and development study employed both qualitative and quantitative methods. The sample included 10 academics, professional nurses, and public health personnel, and 88 Village Health Volunteers (VHVs). The research instruments consisted of in - depth interview guidelines, an online geographic information system, a GIS system user manual, an effectiveness assessment form for chronic patient care based on the PBRI Model, and a satisfaction assessment form for the online geographic information system

Results: Phase 1 revealed that the existing data system did not sufficiently support community participation. Essential data for chronic patient care included home coordinates, classification levels, and PBRI Model guidance. Phase 2 developed an online geographic information system, “GIS Samokhae”. Phase 3 showed that implementing this system significantly improved chronic patient care effectiveness and coordination with health personnel, with statistical significance at the .001 level. Village Health Volunteers (VHVs) reported high overall satisfaction (M = 31.79, SD = 4.70)

Conclusion: The implementation of the GIS Samokhae can enhance community participation in caring for patients with chronic diseases, resulting in better healthcare plans for these patients.

Implications: The PBRI model - based online GIS system should be expanded to include both healthy and at - risk populations for more effective chronic disease surveillance.
