Abstract
Background: Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health aims to develop the quality of every sub-district health promoting hospital (the village-level local public health facilities) so that every citizen can access quality, standard, comprehensive healthcare services. The ministry set up the “Tid Dao,” or five standard criteria as a tool to encourage every sub-district health promoting hospital to raise its quality standards. The operation of pharmaceuticals is one of the important standard criteria for the development of sub-district health promoting hospitals to provide quality and safe care to people.
Objective: To identify factors related to the implementation of pharmaceutical operations in compliance with the Tid Dao Sub-District Health Promoting Hospital Standard Criteria of sub-district health promoting hospitals in Pathum Thani Province.
methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The Population consisted of 78 people who were responsible for pharmaceutical operations at sub-district health promoting hospitals in Pathum Thani Province. Data were collected using a questionnaire and statistically analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values, the Fisher exact probability test, and Logistic Regression Analysis at p-value = 0.05.
Results: The results showed that 87.2% of the samples were female with a mean age of 35.7. Their official positions were mostly “public health academic” and they had graduated with bachelor’s degrees. Most had worked in a position responsible for pharmaceutical operations for less than 5 years and worked at a medium-sized sub-district health promoting hospital. Most of them had received specific training on the Tid Dao Sub-District Health Promoting Hospital Standard Criteria. The factors related to the implementation of pharmaceutical operations that they placed the most importance on were management/administration, the incentive to perform pharmaceutical operation work, and received social support, which were rated at 82.1%, 75.6%, and 76.9%, respectively. The pharmaceutical operations of the sub-district health promoting hospitals in Pathum Thani met the Tid Dao Sub-District Health Promoting Hospital Standard Criteria at the rate of 91.0% (95%CI: 82.4-96.3). Factors related to the implementation of pharmaceutical operations in compliance with the Tid Dao Sub-District Health Promoting Hospital Standard Criteria were specific training on the Tid Dao Sub-District Health Promoting Hospital Standard Criteria (p-value=0.048), management/administration factors at the sub-district health promoting hospital in question
(p-value = 0.001) and received social support factors (p-value =0.003).
Conclusion and recommendations: Training on the Tid Dao Sub-District Health Promoting Hospital Standard Criteria, management/administration, and received social support are the major factors related to the successful implementation of pharmaceutical operations in compliance with the Tid Dao Sub-District Health Promoting Hospital Standard Criteria. Thus, all sub-district health promoting hospitals should pay attention to these factors.
