title: Legislation and Health Promotion 
abstract:In Thailand, legislation which concerns health promotion ranges from the National Health Act
(B.E.2550), and the Supporting Fund for Health Promotion Act (B.E.2544) to the most important of all, the
Thai Constitution, B.E. 2550. The constitution guarantees the rights of individuals on this issue as follows:
(a) the right to public health and welfare services; (b) the right to access information on certain activities
and/or programs which may affect their environment, health and quality of life; and (c) the right to be
protected from environmental health hazards. Furthermore, the Constitution also states that health policies
must emphasize health promotion, which would lead to sustainable health of the population, and
that local government should be given the responsibility and authority in the management and provision
of public services for the local people. Even though other related laws which concern the roles of local
government in public health service provision may not have included health promotion as one of the
responsibilities of local government, the responsibilities of local governments could be extended. Legislation
such as the Public Health Act (B.E.2535) and the Tambon Council and Tambon Administrative Organization
Act (B.E.2537) has given power to the ministers in charge to allocate extra responsibility to local
government as allowed by those laws. The latter especially has given the tambon administrative organization
the role of managing basic environmental control services. This is relevant to the function of health
promotion. The Second Action Plan and Protocol for Decentralization to Local Government clearly states
that health promotion responsibility, along with basic health services and disease control, are to be the
responsibilities of the local government, with a certain level of “readiness.” These will be transferred
together with funding, the existing staff and infrastructure (health centers). However, as local government
needs to undergo assessment and other processes in the devolution of health centers, there is a need
for specifying the roles of local government in health promotion in order to clarify the issue and to make
the roles conform to Thailand’s health promotion strategy.

title: A Flower in the Storm: A Case Study of a Woman Who Faced Repeated Family Violence 
abstract:The purpose of this qualitative research study was to explore the incidence of repeated violence and
patterns of resistance. The main data were collected from in-depth interviews, participatory observation
and a document review. The research questions were: (a) what is the context of the cultural and power
relationships in which the repeated violence exists, and (b) how is the meaning of the experience and the
suffering of the abused the fault of the community?
It was found that the process of repetitious violence in the family caused resistance to social norms,
but it was the only way that the individual could have reacted in view of the power structure.
The findings reveal the patterns of resistance that occurred under the terms of the context of violence
that went against the social norms; it might be the only way that the individual could have reacted under
such conditions.

title: Evaluation of HSRI Users’ Satisfaction 
abstract:This research had three major objectives that were: 1)to explore HSRI research users’ satisfaction both from the research contents and from accessibility to the research information, 2)to explore the problems and needs of the users and 3)to study the opinions on HSRI operation from the relevant parties who took part in formulating the policy of HSRI. The sample consisted of two groups; one from the executives or the parties relevant to policy formulation and the other from the researchers and academics who used the HSRI research. The data were gathered by mailing the questionnaires to the researchers and academics and interviewing the executives. The researchers and academics were randomly selected from 6,621 members of HSRI digital library during the years between 2007 to the mid 2008. The response rate was 48.4 percent calculating from 727 returned questionnaires. There were 9 executives who were interviewed.
The results were as follows:
1. The most important purposes of HSRI research usage were to develop themselves by increasing their research knowledge and to conduct their own research respectively. The least important purpose was to use the research for running their business.
2. For the satisfaction with HSRI research usage, the researchers and academics were most satisfied with publishing full text research papers in .pdf files and the contributions of research to develop health system respectively. The least score was the satisfaction with the research coverage of all areas of health system but the score was still at the high level of satisfaction.
  For the satisfaction with academic work of HSRI, the satisfaction of the researchers and academics was at the high level. However, the executives rated their satisfaction at moderate level by giving reasons that the role of HSRI had been diminishing and its research contributions leading to health policy adaption were less than its former research work.
3. Regarding HSRI research usage communication channels, the researchers and academics used research via Journal of Health System Research most. The least usage of communication level was radio broadcasting.
4. New threats such as natural disasters and terrorism were the most needed research topics that the researchers and academics required HSRI to develop more. The second highest needed topic was mechanisms and tools for solving health problems occurring from environment.
5. The research on health system was the most needed information that the researchers and academics required HSRI to gather and store in HSRI database. For the improvement of website, the most needed contents were research analysis column and health policy analysis column respectively.

title: Indicators and Surveillance of the Health of People Living Near the Mae-Moh Power Plant 
abstract:Mae-Moh Power Plant and Mae-Moh Lignite Mine may cause adverse environmental and health
effects. However, currently, there is no surveillance system to monitor the effects on the health of people
living near the power plant. This study is aimed at identifying indicators and studying the health impacts
in order to monitor the health status of people living near the power plant. The mining and power plant
processes were reviewed, together with their related pollutants and the possible health impacts of each
substance. A study on the health effects of people living near the power plant was reviewed. Practical
health indicators and a research methodology were suggested and reviewed by an expert and stakeholder.
It was found that these Mae-Moh facilities might produce several health hazards, including air pollutants,
water pollution, noise, accidents and other nuisances. The health indicators that should be monitored are:
(1) emergency room visits, (2) hospital visits and the services requested, (3) mortality monitoring, (4)
pulmonary function of school children, (5) lung function of adults with respiratory problems, (6) chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease cases, (7) pneumoconiosis among mine worker, and (8) stress and annoyance
due to the environmental problems.

title: Resolution on Managing Overweight and Obesity in the 11th National Economic and Social Development Plan 
abstract:Obesity is a global epidemic affecting both the developed and developing worlds alike. Overweight
and obesity has also been found to be on the rise among Thailand’s male and female population. More-over, they are considered as a leading health risk factor in the Thai population. Tackling overweight and
obesity in Thailand has lead to the formation of the Resolution on Managing Overweight and Obesity,
which has finally been endorsed by the National Health Commission, and was also approved by the
Cabinet in 2010 as part of the Thai national agenda. Meanwhile, the Office of the National Economic and
Social Development Board (NESDB) developed the 11th National Economic and Social Development Plan
as a strategy for national development over the next five years. The aim of this study is to analyze the
consistency between the Resolution and the 11th Five-Year Plan. The results of the study will be useful in
formulating the National Action Plan for overweight and obesity, as well as in reflecting the drafting and
approval process of the 11th Plan.
Comparatively, the key approach for the development of the 11th Plan focuses on an individual-level
defensive approach, such as the promotion of education among the Thai population. The Resolution
focuses not only on a defensive approach, but also on an offensive approach, with a wide array of regulatory
interventions, such as tax, pricing, nutrition and food labeling, and food marketing restrictions. The
strategies of the 11th Plan, for example, trade liberalization, discourage regulatory interventions for curbing
overweight and obesity. Unhealthy foods have increasing access to the market. Although preventive
approaches that would affect trade agreements and trade liberalization are proposed, they would be implemented
after these foods access markets. It seems clear from the literature that the international trade
issues need to be considered in the context of public health, including improving diets and health education.
The implementation of both defensive and offensive approaches, for example, the promotion of
education through food and nutrition labeling interventions, may increase the effectiveness of efforts to
improve healthy behaviors among the population.

title: Efficiency of Resource Use in the Health Insurance Scheme 
abstract:This study examined the efficiency of resource use in Thailand’s three health insurance schemes:
Universal Coverage (UC), Social Security Scheme (SSS), and Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme (CSMBS).
It analyzes the length of stay (LOS) in hospital and early readmission rate in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients,
using as a tracer for efficiency the use of resources and the quality of services, respectively. The
data came from the claims that hospitals servicing all three major health insurance schemes have to send
for reimbursement. The aim of the analysis was to compare the effects of the insurance schemes and other
factors on resource use, LOS as a proxy for resource use, and on quality as proxied by the readmission rate
within 30 days after discharge. The analysis compares three conditions of DM requiring hospital admission:
acute complications, chronic complications, and DM without complication, to prove that there were
no differences in the quality of service in patients’ condition, especially the acute complication condition.
The study found that CSMBS patients had longer LOS than UC and SSS patients. This implied the
efficient use of resources by patients of SSS and UC compared with those covered by CSMBS. However,
SSS patients showed no difference in early readmission within 30 days after discharge, while UC patients
had a higher rate of readmission in chronic DM and without the complication condition.

title: Prevalence Rate and Related Factors of Musculoskeletal Disorders in Sugarcane Workers 
abstract:This cross-sectional descriptive study was aimed at determining the prevalence rate and related
factors of musculoskeletal disorders in sugarcane workers of Baan Meng subdistrict, Nong Rua District,
Khon Kaen Province. The data were collected in the period from April to May 2009 by interviews; they
were modified using Worksheet “A” and Worksheet “B” MSI risk factor identification of the Workers’
Compensation Board of British Columbia, Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, and the musculoskeletal
disorders questionnaire devised by Somkiat Siriratanaphruek MD, PhD. All 219 sugarcane workers in
Baan Meng subdistrict were randomly selected. The prevalence rate of musculoskeletal disorders in the
sugarcane workers over the previous 12 months was 72.6 percent. Factors significantly related to musculoskeletal
disorders were maintenance work, extending arms away from the body for at least two hours
per day and working with repetitive movement for at least two hours per day. The authors recommend
that these practical surveillance guidelines be developed and provided to the governmental agencies concerned
in order to prevent such musculoskeletal disorders in sugarcane workers.

                              1.To stimulate or suppress human physiological response mechanisms such as vomiting, laxative, cathartic concretions in sweat, diuretic and pustules, This concept was based on the belief that these responses were to eliminate toxins and to drive out toxins,  or to absorb toxins form out of the body. The many conditions that were treated by methods. To apply this concept, for example, dog bite (by both a rabid and non-rabid dog).
                             2.To treat the symptoms and to cure illness and disease. Under this concept the herbal healer had no expectations concerning the physiological response to the herbal medicine. The same as the concept one, the patients had those signs and system that they would treat it as complication.  There were many symptoms and diseases that the herbal healers treating to use this concept, for example, herbal medicine code Pharm.001 was used to treat CA liver, AIDS,  etc. 		
Conclusion      : The formulas of herbal medicine were found in this study can not be used to represent all the herbal remedies which were found in the north-eastern of Thailand. However, the concept was used in the treatment of disease by professional and expert herbal healers. It is consistent through out the region

title: Management of health security fund areas in Phichit province : year 2008 
abstract:The objectives of the study of “The management of Local (Sub-district) health security
fund in Pichit province 2008” were to explore financing situation, roles of committee in manage
fund, the implementation of diseases prevention and protection, monitoring, controlling and
evaluating system of the fund that relevant to objectives of the fund. The study conducted in 16
pilot local health security funds in Pichit between October 1st and May 31st 2009.
The results found that in the management system factor, sources of fund and collected
income trend to be decrease. The central government subsidy was trend to be increase. The
specific subsidy was slightly decrease meanwhile the others were stable. Proportion of health
financing was trend to be increase. Nevertheless, proportion of subsidy from National Security
Office was tren to be decrease, meanwhile the joining budget from local government and others
communities trend to be more increasing. Buget allocation from Local health security fund, Most
of it allocated to elderly then agegroup equal to and more than 25 years, 6-25 years, handicab, 0-6
years and pregnant weman respectively.
Most of expenditure by activities was paid for health care, health promotion, subsidised
to health facilities, funding management and mangement improving respectively. The commitee’s
opinion on level of performance found that it was in the fair, good and poor level equal to 44.70,
34.85 and 20.45 percent respectively. The differentiation of the perfomances between any local
health security funds found the significantly different at 0.01 (P-value < 0.01)
The differentiation of performances between different working positions found that it
was not sigificantly different. Only one local government that had strategic planning, it was
Tambol Thayium, Saklek district. Most of local plans and projects come from community and
sub-district forum, proposal from health worker and member of local government. There were a
few projects propsed by other sectors and organizations. The less implemented activities were
public communucation, and evaluation.
