Factors Related to the Adaptation of Community Health Nurses at Health Service Center of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration during the COVID-19
Abstract
This cross-sectional descriptive research aimed to study the adaptation and predictive factors on the adaptation of community health nurses at the Health Service Center of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration in the COVID-19 outbreak situation. Roy’s adaptation model was used as a conceptual framework. The samples were 342 community health nurses aged 23-60 years of the Health Service Center of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. Data was collected between February to May 2023 using Likert scale questionnaires with content validity index between 0.9-1.0 and the reliability between 0.68-0.83. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
The result showed that community health nurses had a moderate level of adaptation (Mean=50, SD=7.15). Factors predicting the adaptation of community health nurses include resilience, COVID-19 outbreak, adverse effects of COVID-19 infection, and age respectively. All factors together can predict the adaptation of community health nurses by 30.2 % (Adjusted R2=.302). The result of this research recommends that community health nurses should be promoted in resilience for appropriate adaptation.
