Development of Rabies Prevention and Control Model in School located in area of positive rabies test from animal head; Mueang Phon sub district, Phon district, Khon Kaen province

Abstract

This research and development aimed to develop a model for prevention and control of rabies in schools located in the areas where positive rabies test from animals head were found in ​​Mueang Phon sub-district, Phon district, Khon Kaen Province.  The study process was carried out as follows: 1. Analysis of the operational problem condition of rabies preventive and control in schools 2. Synthesis and development of rabies prevention and control models in schools.  3. Pilot and apply the developed model in schools. 4. Follow up and evaluate the model. The sample in the study were 61 participants consisting of 1. Model development group (30 participants) 2. Pilot study group including of teachers students and experts (30 participants).  Research tools were record form, discussion issues, teaching plan on rabies prevention and control rabies, knowledge quiz and satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and paired t- test statistics.  The results were as follows:

1. Analysis of operational problems condition found that there were problems in students literacy for rabies prevention and control.
2. Synthesis and model development consisted of 3 components: 1) Input factors consisted of basic education curriculum content and learning standards for health and physical education subject group. 2) The process consisted of the development of teaching management plans on rabies prevention and control and the teaching and learning management process of teachers and 3) Output consisted of the results of using the model and the results of model satisfaction assessment.
3. The results of using the model consisted of:

                   3.1 The average score before the learning activities of the students was (  = 8.93, S.D. = 2.35), after the activity was (  = 18.12, S.D. = 2.82). During the study according to the 6 plans, was (  = 135.61, S.D. = 13.38).

                   3.2 The difference in average scores before and after teaching management were 9.19 (2.37). There was a statistically significant difference level 0.05 (p-value < .001).

                   3.3 The effectiveness of the rabies prevention and control instructional plan was found that E1/ E2 = 90.41 / 72.48

          4. The satisfaction assessment was at the highest level ( = 3.35, S.D. = 0.24).
