Development of the health risk prevention model for garbage collectors at Khon Kaen municipality landfill sites

Abstract

This research and development aimed to study 1) the health risk at work situation           2) development of the health risk at work prevention model 3) result of using the health risk prevention model for garbage collecting works at Khon Kaen municipality land fill sites. Samples of the study consisted of 1) garbage collectors 150 people 2) network group related with garbage collection 35 people. The study tools were 1) health risk prevention development model

2) outcome evaluation form. The research and development was conducted during April 2016 and September 2017. Descriptive statistics, dependent paired t-test for quantitative data, and content analysis for qualitative data were used in the study.   The study was found that the health risk prevention model consisted of 1) structure of care model 2) concept of health risk prevention model 3) process of risk prevention care model and 4) monitoring and evaluation. Moreover, the model was found to be significantly effective in reducing the health risk for the study samples (p=0.001).    Therefore, this health risk prevention model for the garbage collectors could be applied in other settings with similar context. In addition, monitoring and evaluation should be conducted for the suitability of the situation changes and serving the needs of the related network.
