title: Human-Centered Design Research Project to Redesign Employment Model and Benefits for Future Health Personnel Workforce 
abstract:This research focuses on redesigning employment models and employment benefits in order to retain civil servant healthcare workforce. The research leverages the process of design thinking or human-centered design as a methodology. The target users of the redesign exercise in this research are 1. physicians, 2. dentists, 3. pharmacists, and 4. nurses. Taking into consideration the systems perspective of this research, the research team has also involved employers and relevant policy makers throughout the process. Starting with in-depth interviews of the stakeholders, the research team has come up with five potential employment models for further adjustment and consideration in employing future civil servant healthcare workforce. The five models are: 1. Flexible employment scheme: providing a more flexible part-time positions for healthcare workforce in city hospitals 2. Part-time employment with private sector benefits: providing private sector employment and benefits for healthcare workforce outside the civil service working hours 3. Employment through healthcare districts: providing more flexibility in handling healthcare workforce and resources by shifting the employer role from the hospitals or healthcare centers to the healthcare districts 4. Employment through non-government health units: extending civil servant health employment to cover employment in selected non-government health units, and 5. Redesigning employment restriction: allowing employers to manager their own lumpsum funds rather than strictly allocating the fund per head The research team recommends that a healthcare regulatory sandbox should be set up to design and test some of the proposed redesigning of the employment schemes so policymakers can gather feedback and leverage on the learning to revise and replicate effective schemes and models in a larger context.

title: Artificial Intelligence for Active TB Case Finding 
abstract:Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health problem. It not only causes disease burden measured by combining the years of life lost due to premature death and years of life lost due to time lived in state of less than full health, but also results in economic burden. In 2015, the World Health Organization classified Thailand as one of 14 countries on all three “high burden country” (HBC) lists: tuberculosis (TB), multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), and TB/HIV. Based on recent estimates made by the WHO, Thailand had 119,000 new TB patients in 2016, equivalent to an incidence rate of 172 per 100,000 population. This rate is more than 50 times higher than those in developed countries and is the cause of death for up to 12,500 people per year (1). Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can be trained to recognize tuberculosis-related abnormalities on chest radiographs. This study aims to develop deep learning model to classify tuberculosis related chest radiographs using data from the national tuberculosis program. Method: We collected chest radiographs from the active TB screening project of the national tuberculosis program. Then, expert chest radiologists reviewed and classified images into one of six categories according to the standard recommendation for reporting chest radiograph for TB screening from the royal college of radiology of Thailand. Next, we developed deep learning model from this dataset. Conclusion: In the first part, we collected and classified 80,086 chest radiographs according to the study protocol. In the second part, we successfully developed deep learning model to classify TB related or non-TB related chest radiographs with AUC of 0.94.

title: A Synthesis of Policy Recommendations for Management of The Health Service System at Tertiary Level: North-East Thailand to Support the Critical Epidemic of COVID-19 
abstract:The purpose of this research is to synthesis policy recommendations for management of the health service system at the tertiary level in North-East of Thailand in order to support the critical epidemic of COVID-19. This research was conducted between September 2021 and February 2022. Four provinces in the public health region 7,8,9 and 10 namely Khon Kaen, Udon Thani, Surin and Ubon Ratchathani were stratified selected. Mix-methods was adopted based upon the Health Care Capacity indicator and six-building blocks together with policies and regulations issued by the Emergency Decree on Public Administration in Emergency Situations and other related measures. The participants were purposively recruited through administrators at a public health region, provinces, hospitals, COVID-19 committees, health professional and responsible for environmental work of Tertiary hospitals within four provinces, and secondary key informants were a group of stakeholders. The research instrument was the health service management assessment form, in-depth interview, focus group, lesson learn form, and relevant document record form. Quantitative data were analyzed by statistical percentage, mean. Qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis. Each interview was digitally recorded, and the data from the interviews were analysed using Nvivo. The findings revealed ten policy recommendations covering ten issues for public sector organizations as follows: 1) A clear policies and utilization are needed; 2) considering a framework for expanding health professionals; 3) developing a large-scale centralized database system and connecting the use of sharing-data network with public health sectors; 4) establishing a public health region as a juristic person for the development and flexible service; 5) providing training programs to continuously upskill personnel's potential; 6) having a committee to consider the risk compensation of health professionals working during COVID-19 with all health sectors covered by a good moral and fairness and equality 7) Providing clear and accurate information and having public relations which covering target groups and easy to access 8) establishing guidelines for vaccine administration management in accordance with the context and having a committee to consider the compensational payment 9) all hospitals should have the resources planning with an effective strategy, and 10) having a clear organized-screening and health service standards in all public health sectors which participate in raising awareness of people's self-management. This will result in the management system for the management of the health service system at tertiary level to support the outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis in the future.

title: COVID-19 in Thai Society : Documenting Coronavirus Crisis and Epidemic Responses 
abstract:This research aims to understand and uncover experiences, thoughts and practices of the 5 groups of people in dealing with COVID-19 includes (1) executives and policy makers (2) medical and public health officers (3) disease control workers (4) poor and disadvantaged people and (5) civil people and journalists. This study used both qualitative and quantitative research methodology. Conducting in-depth interviews with 148 people and use an online questionnaire to get the data from 555 samples. Information from social media and online documents are also collected. From March to November 2021 is the period of data collecting. This study uses anthropological perspectives to suggest that the COVID-1 9 crisis is syndemics that inseparably related to unequal society, economy, politics and human life. The 5 chapters of this research are: (1) recording important events of the COVID-1 9 outbreak in Thailand, which is divided into 5 periods. (2) a study of the experiences of 5 target groups. (3) lessons in the work of various organizations in the COVID-19 crisis. (4) an analysis of social science knowledge in an pandemic situation. (5) conclusions and policy recommendations. The four key findings are: (1) the Thai state uses medical, economic and governance knowledge that leads to a centralized command system and controls people in the same inflexible regulation. The Thai state does not understand the different changing socio-cultural contexts found in local areas and communities. Government solutions do not meet the needs of the people. Social science knowledge disappears from the Thai state policy-making that reproduces and expands structural violence in which the disadvantaged people are damaged. (2) failed coordination between government agencies, civil organizations and the private sectors can be found in every local communities. Government officials do not plan for effective work and change practices over time. This problem is the source of conflicts. Another important problem is that there are a poor welfare and caring for medical and public health workers. (3) people distrust in the government because of their inefficient work and error decision making. The Thai government fail to give public enough and clear information but give privileges to some people. This problem leads to the people protests and calling for the government resign. (4) there have been several unexpected consequences in government policy. Particularly, the lockdown and the close of various businesses that affects many people who work in the informal sector. Policy recommendations are outlined in the final chapter for government agencies to take account in solving the pandemic in the future.

title: The Effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Group Therapy for Cultivating Resilience and Intention to Drug Abstinence on Youths with Substance Abuse 
abstract:The considerable care for youths with substance abuse in recovering phase is enhancing resilience, cultivate life immunity in order for relapse prevention. This quasi-experimental study was to examine the effectiveness of Acceptance Commitment Group Therapy on resilience and intention to drug abstinence among youths with amphetamine abuse. One hundred youths from the rehabilitation treatment at Wiwatphonlamuang School, Thai Royal Navy in Chonburi Province, Thailand were recruited and randomly selected to participate in experimental group and control group. Fifty participants in the experimental group participated the Acceptance and Commitment Group Therapy for cultivating resilience and intention to drug abstinence, and both experimental and control group attended the routine psychosocial rehabilitation program. The group therapy was carried on twice a week for 4 weeks. The resilience and Intention to drug abstinence questionnaires were applied for data collection before and after participation, then four weeks follow up. Descriptive statistics and Two-way repeated measurement ANOVA were used for data analysis. The results revealed as follows: 1. The mean scores of resilience in experimental group were higher than control group at post-test and 1-month follow-up were significantly different at .001 2. In experimental group, the mean scores of resiliance at pre-test and 1 month follow up were significantly different at .05 and 3. The mean scores of intention to drug abstienance in experimental group were higher than control group at post-test and 1-month follow-up were significantly different at .05 The results suggest that nurses and health care providers could apply this program to promote resilience and intention to drug abstinence in youth with substance abuse. This therapy will be an alternative treatment for both health personnel and those who work in the drug treatment and rehabilitation facilities. Those personnel can employ the body of knowledge to develop and improve their drug treatment skills.

title: Social Movements Towards Healthy Life of Vulnerable Families in Thai Society 
abstract:This research aims to study families in Thai society from the historic to the modern period and take a look at policies, measures, mechanisms, and methods to strengthen the foundation of families and presents possible means to improve the healthy life of vulnerable families in Thai society through public debates with related parties and experts and revision of relevant documents. The research shows that 1) The vulnerable families, or the target group, are unprepared for the collective lifestyle as a family and other factors unrelated to age as individuals, regardless of their age, could face difficulties in having a family, 2) The target group lacks comprehension on a concept of family and how to conform with such kind of relationships and do not realize own’s duties to bring the family together as a whole, 3) People in charge lacks supportive system, tools, or methods to help them set goals or adapt to work together; each section works separately toward their specific goals without communication or cooperation, 4) The importance of family is neglected causing the family to be excluded from any development plans or national policies, 5) Without coordination, the gap of interpretations on ambiguous policies leads to unorganized work and demotivates unity. This research summarizes and presents the following policy proposals; 1) Family crisis can be solved with logic and vision expansive enough to help recognize family crisis as a systematic crisis caused by multiple factors and dimensions with complexity. It is the reflection on the mainstream development which emphasizes materialization exchanged with family failures, social regression, and moral decline. It is the development that destroys the mind, family, and society as it drives people to go out into fierce competition for materials and money. Resources are spent on “country development” while they should be used to expand the prosperity of children and families., 2) To solve the family crisis, it is essential to see the importance of families as a foundation of future sustainability and security of the society and the country. The health of families fluctuates with each and every government policy, especially economic, academic, social, and labor policies. Therefore, we should recognize the healthy life of families and children as an ultimate goal of the nation.

title: Total Solution for Early Screening of Chronic Kidney Disease using Albuminuria Test Kits in Primary Care 
abstract:Chronic kidney disease is one of a major health problem both nationally and globally due to the tendency of the patient has been increased annually. At an early stage of chronic kidney disease, the patient has no symptom, but the diagnosis is possible by analyze an amount of microalbumin in urine and combine with serum creatinine. However, this process is allowed at the hospital only. To enable an effective and extensive access for a high-risk of chronic kidney disease population, this project focuses on using a urine microalbumin screening test kit for screening the chronic kidney disease at an early stage and including data storage in an online database for easily follow up and proper treatment planning. From the screening of a high-risk of chronic kidney disease population and asymptomatic at Ban Phaeo District in Samut Sakhon province, the 595 volunteers or 25.72% out of the 2,313 volunteers in total was suspected of chronic kidney disease. After 3 months follow-up, 178 patients (out of 260 volunteers) still had renal dysfunction that met the criteria for diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. The estimated prevalence of chronic kidney disease was 17.5%, which is similar to the prevalence in a general population from the Thai-SEEK project. The urine microalbumin screening test kit provides 96% accuracy, 86% sensitivity, and 98% specificity that indicated an efficient, highly accurate, convenient to use, and the results can be read rapidly. It can be used outside the laboratory which enable to reach high-risk populations. Moreover, it also possesses the potential for further commercial use.
