title: Health Insurance Schemes and Dental Health Care Utilization in Thai Working-Age Population 
abstract:This descriptive study aimed to know the situation and pattern of dental health care utilization in
Thai working-age population related to health insurance coverage. Data of population aged 15-59 years
were selected from the Health and Welfare Surveys 2009-2013. Descriptive statistics were used in terms of
percentage and rate. Results showed that in 2013 dental health care utilization rate was very low despite
all of population had health insurance coverage. Population in Universal Coverage Scheme always had
lowest utilization rate. Female, urbanites and graduated adults were high utilization rate groups while
people in the central and north-eastern regions were low utilization rate groups. Self-employed, family
business and private employees always had low utilization rates too. Most utilization was for basic dental
care in the one to one ratio of public and private health care services. Private dental clinics were the most popular. The utilization with insurance cover ranged between 57.1%-70.0% of each health insurance scheme.
Main reasons of service utilization without using their insurance cover were “long waiting”, “limited
service time” and “limited insurance benefit”. Unmet rates were 1.0% in 2011 and 1.1% in 2013. Main
unmet reasons were “time constraint”, “unable to pay for service”, “long waiting” and “others such as
fear”. The results from this study suggest that the dental health care service be developed to match needs
of the working-age populations. The regulation system for private dental clinic should be standardized.
Competency of dental staff on each service level should be reviewed and updated. Other dental health
aspects should be researched as well.

title: Fiscal Year 2014 Dental Service Cost of Rajanukul Institute 
abstract:The purpose of this descriptive study was to analyze unit cost of dental services by service group
which were promotive, preventive and curative services of Rajanukul Institute. This study was retrospective,
collecting data from dental service quantity, material disbursement, dental personnel’s remuneration
and welfare, lists of durable dental equipment and building-construction in fiscal year 2014. The data was
analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The unit cost of dental services was 554.22 baht per visit which
the labour, material and capital costs of 79.41%, 14.94% and 5.65%, respectively. The costs of promotive,
preventive and curative services were 189.61, 613.34, 657.58 baht per visit. The proportion of cost of promotive,
preventive and curative services was 1.00 : 3.23 : 3.46. Oral health promotion was the lowest cost
service group and necessary for children, especially children with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
Educating parents how to care children’s oral health effectively would reduce oral diseases and
high cost curative service.

title: Priority, Prevalence and Geographic Distribution of Unsafe Products in Thailand 
abstract:Objectives: To examine the prevalence and geographic distribution of unsafe products using risk
and possibility assessments of problem-solving using prioritizing unsafe products at provincial level in 2014. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was undertaken to rank the top 5 unsafe products
using risk and possibility assessments of problem-solving principles under Unsafe Product Issue
Prioritization Project in 4 Regions (60 provinces), during January to August 2014. The data were collected
by a health consumer protection pharmacist in each provincial public health office. Descriptive statistics
for the analysis, prevalence and geographic distribution of the unsafe products were employed. Results:
Thirty-one unsafe products were found. As for the prevalence of the top 5 unsafe products assessed at
national level, they were agricultural chemical residues in fruits, vegetables and salted fish, hazardous
chemicals in cosmetics, repeatedly-fried oil, steroids adulterated in health products and drug sole in the
community, and formalin contaminated food. Based on geographical conditions and public health services,
it was found that the prevalence of the most unsafe products in 4 regions was similar to that of the
national level. However, there were some slight differences in certain regions. Besides, it revealed that the
top 5 unsafe products at national level were distributed geographically in each province. Conclusions:
There were some similarities and differences among the conditions of unsafe products in different areas.
The differences could be due to the different factors in the areas such as consumer behavior, geographical
conditions affecting the distributions of goods, etc. These factors affected the selection of unsafe products,
as well as the risk and possibility assessments. Therefore, any relevant organizations should set appropriate
policies, measures or plans to solve such problems in all aspects.

title: การประเมินสถานการณ์ของการบริการปฐมภูมิในเขตกรุงเทพมหานครด้วยการศึกษา Ambulatory care sensitive conditions 
abstract:Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSC) are disease groups or medical conditions
that, if patients are effectively taken care of in the ambulatory setting, hospital admissions can
be avoided or preventable. This study aimed to assess performances of primary-care provision
in the Bangkok area using 13 ACSCs set by Agency for Health Research and Quality (AHRQ),
USA. The analyses were conducted by using inpatient-service reimbursement databases from
2007 to 2014 of the Universal Coverage Scheme (UC), the Civil Servants Medical Benefit
Scheme (CSMBS) and the Social Security Scheme (SSS).
The study findings indicated that it was very likely to use ACSC statistics to assess
primary-care performances in the Bangkok area. Based on the year 2011 data which was the
most complete for all population groups, the Top 3 ACSCs were urinary tract infection,
congestive heart failure and adult asthma, respectively. The other close-call groups included
hypertension and angina without procedure. Surprisingly, the hospital admissions caused by
short-term and long-term complications of diabetes mellitus were not as high as expected.
ACSCs’ Inpatient services in the Bangkok area, particularly for the UC population, were
mainly for patients from Bangkok itself rather than those from vicinity provinces or other
provinces. It was worth noted that the amount and proportion of the hospital admissions in most
of the ACSCs were highest among patients registered with private providers (e.g. private
hospitals), followed by those registered under Bangkok Metropolitan’s provider network. It was
also found that the CSMBS patients tended to be in older than UC and SSS patients in almost all
ACSCs. They were also more likely to get admitted with Hypertension and COPD, compared to
the latter two groups.
Nevertheless, ACSC might not be applicable without restriction. There were problems
with the databases as they were from different responsible agencies with differing working
processes and data-processing capabilities. Quality of the databases varied somewhat.
Moreover, data analyses were affected by the fact that the three health schemes were designed
differently in terms of beneficiary registration.
In sum, primary-care services in the Bangkok area needed improvement. The most
significant ACSC target would be around heart and vascular diseases, along with the development of ACSC measures and quality of the databases such that they could be applied
in monitoring access to and quality of primary care.

title: ระบบการดูแลทางสังคมสำหรับผู้สูงอายุ 
abstract:The objectives of the study of Social Care System for Elderly are to study and
synthesize meaning, area and format including mechanism of social care for dependent
elderly in abroad to present guidelines for integrating health care and social care system for
dependent elderly in Thailand. This study is documentary research which data are collected
from textbooks, research reports, academic journals, theses and related electronic data about
social care in Thailand and other countries such as United Kingdom, United States, Canada,
Australia and Japan. Due to those countries have good role models for elderly welfare that
could be applied and presented integrating of health and social care for Thailand. The findings
are as follows;
Social care is the system designed to help, protect and educate elderly who face
physical and psychological problems. It would help elderly to self-support in daily life or help
them to better develop their potentials. The formats of social care service are family, social
and also institutional levels. In addition, social care mechanism setting must start from
government agencies as the center to set policies, resources, administrative formats, service
formats, budgets including responsibility transition to local authorities and create formal and
informal social care networks for always and thoroughly driving care to elderly and families to
create good quality of life to elderly. The important mechanism to push dependent elderly to
effective service is to consider elderly qualifications and set channels to access social care
services as the following steps: 1) Examining elderly rights 2) Evaluating elderly for considering
care activities 3) Paying care expenses 4) Getting services according care activities.
The recommendations for developing social care system for elderly divide into 5
aspects: 1) Creating basic concept, importance and readiness of social care 2) Seeking ways for
developing suitable social care service for elderly 3) Planning to produce and develop human
resources who expertise in caring elderly with quality 4) Setting administrative approach for
driving elderly implementation 5) Setting and integrating funds for health and social care.

title: A Survey of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine Services of Ministry of Public Health Hospitals in 2014 
abstract:Background: Increasing trend of traditional and alternative medicine use has been documented
worldwide. In many developing countries, the majority of the population continues to use traditional
medicine to meet its primary health care needs. In Thailand, the Thai traditional medicine service using is
a fundamental right for all Thais according to the constitution as well as Universal Health Care Coverage
program. However, none of the study has been conducted to survey for Thai traditional and alternative
medicine (TT & AM) services together. This study therefore aimed to survey the data of TT & AM services
as well as to study the factors influencing utilization of TT & AM services in the outpatient department of
the hospitals under Ministry of Public Health. Method: The data of TT & AM services were collected
from October 2013 to March 2014. 456 data collecting forms were distributed through representatives of
Thai Traditional services in 76 Provincial Health Offices under Ministry of Public Health. The factors
influencing the utilization of TT & AM services at the outpatient department were analyzed with multiple
linear regressions. Results: 266 out of 456 data collecting forms were filled and sent back. The response
rate was 58.33%. Only 231 hospital responses (86.84%) could be analyzed. 186 hospitals (80.52%) provided
only Thai traditional medicine services while 45 hospitals (19.48%) provided Thai traditional medicine
services together with alternative medicine service. 10.93% of the total outpatient department (OPD) visits
was the utilization of TT & AM services. Factors influencing outpatient department utilization of TT &
AM services were the number of staffs (p-value < 0.001), clinical competency for inpatient services
(p-value = 0.002), the number of staff receiving wage at least 15,000 Baht per month (p-value = 0.017),
being a study/visiting site for education (p-value = 0.011), continuing year of services (p-value = 0.004)
and herbal consumption value (p-value < 0.001). Recommendations: To strengthen the support of TT &
AM service, the relevant agency should develop more suitable workforce in service units and pay them
appropriate salary. In addition, the practitioners need to be developed in their clinical competency and
academic networking with universities is also crucial for implementation.

title: The Proposals for Reforming Laws to Limit Tobacco Access of the Thai Youth 
abstract:The use of legal process to protect and prevent the Thai youth from easily accessing to tobacco is one
of the important missions at the national level. In the past, some facts indicate failure. This article aims to
review the weakness and to present proposals for reform the laws for restriction of access to tobacco
among youth in Thailand. Using the literature review of research and article related to both domestic and
foreign that published or produced since 1990 to 2015 in databases, Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group,
PubMed, Thailist and google.This study found that Thailand needed to reform limiting youth access to tobacco laws on two
issues. First) the content of the law is not up to date with the new marketing strategy of the tobacco
companies and sale behavior of tobacco retailer, and second) the law enforcement is ineffective. Two
reforms related to tobacco laws are proposed. First, amendments of 2 Acts: 1.1) The Tobacco Production
Control Act B.E. 2535: (1) changing the definition of the term “advertisement” and issuing additional laws
on prohibiting all types of indirect advertisement of tobacco, (2) prohibiting sales of individual cigarette
or in small packages, (3) demanding plain packaging practice of tobacco product, and (4) identifying
provincial authority to control tobacco at provincial level. 1.2) The Tobacco Act B.E. 2509: to limit the
number and location of the tobacco retailers in the community and near schools. Second, strengthen law
enforcement: 2.1) developing the database of tobacco retailers, 2.2) developing the measures that enforce
law more effectively, and 2.3) developing the community participation in solving the problem of easy
access to tobacco among the youth.

title: The Cost of Institutional Long Term Care for Older Persons: a Case Study of Thammapakorn Social Welfare Development Center for Older Persons, Chiang Mai Province 
abstract:This study aimed to quantify the cost of institutional long-term care at Thammapakorn Social Welfare
Development Center for Older Persons in Chiang Mai Province in 2014. The population of the study
was all 104 older persons who lived at the center. The sample comprised 24 older persons with at least moderate dependence level as measured by activity of daily living or ADL scale (N = 24). Activity-based
costing was used. Cost allocation was based on long-term care needs of each older person in the sample,
documented through activity logs and records of resource utilization pertaining to each activity within 72
consecutive hours. Two sets of costs were estimated, depending on assumptions related to depreciation
expenses of the following cost items: buildings, vehicles and equipment. It was found that, based on the
first set of assumptions, the average costs of institutional long-term care for older persons with total ADL
dependence (N = 19), with severe ADL dependence (N = 4) and with moderate ADL dependence (N = 1)
were 461.39, 456.91 and 445.20 baht per person per day respectively. Based on the second set of assumptions,
the average costs of institutional long-term care for older persons with total ADL dependence, with
severe ADL dependence and with moderate ADL dependence were 449.89, 445.42 and 433.71 baht per
person per day respectively. Approximately 17% of the estimated costs came from cash and non-cash
donations. The results reflected the fact that the budget received from the government, without monetary
and non-monetary support from other sources, would be insufficient for the level of long-term care being
provided at the center.

title: Prevalence and Factors Associated with Suicidal Behavior in Patients with Mental and Behavioral Disorder Due to Alcohol 
abstract:Alcohol-drinking is one of the most important public health problems related to an increase risk of
suicidal behaviors. The objectives of this cross-sectional analytical study were to determine the prevalence
and factors associated with suicidal ideation and suicide attempt in mental and behavioral disorder
due to use of alcohol. Subjects were 303 patients diagnosed with ICD-10 code F10.xx and admitted in
Suanprung Psychiatric Hospital during 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013. Data of various factors were
collected from medical records. Results of the study revealed that prevalence of suicidal ideation and
suicide attempt were 22.4% and 5.0%, respectively. Factors significantly associated with suicidal ideation were having psychological comorbidities (adjusted OR = 2.58 95% CI; 1.14-5.85, p-value = 0.023), previous
suicidal ideation and previous suicide attempt (adjusted OR = 3.00 95% CI; 1.40-6.40, p-value = 0.004 and
4.27 95% CI; 2.31-8.94, p-value < 0.001, respectively), numbers of problems or life-events, more than 3 and
2 life events (adjusted OR = 4.36 95% CI; 1.53-12.41, p-value = 0.006 and 3.22 95% CI; 1.08-9.57, p-value =
0.036, respectively), and patients who drank 40 degree-rice clear liquor (adjusted OR = 3.10 95% CI; 1.33-
7.20, p-value = 0.009). Regarding factors related to suicide attempt, it is found that previous suicide attempts
and psychological comorbidities were statistically significant associated with suicide attempts
(adjusted OR = 4.36 95% CI; 1.53-12.41, p-value = 0.006 and 3.22 95% CI; 1.08-9.57, p-value = 0.036, respectively).
In conclusion, close monitoring should be emphasized in patients who had problem associate
with alcohol drinking and had previous suicidal ideation or previous suicide attempt(s), particularly in
those with psychological comorbidity and had more than 2 life-events.

title: Outcomes of an Integrative Thai Child Development Project in a Community Hospital, Phrae Province 
abstract:Birth asphyxia and low birth weight were important causes of mental retardation, delayed development,
learning disabilities and cerebral palsy. This retrospective research was aimed to study the outcome
of Thai Child Development Integration Project in Sungmen Hospital. The subjects studied were 51
patients who attended the Well Child Clinic from October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2015. Developmental
Assessment for Intervention Manual [DAIM] was used to evaluate child development. The majority of
patients were low birth weight (86.3%) and were female (64.7%). Most of the low birth weight (72.7%)
were intrauterine growth restriction. The influencing factors of birth asphyxia were from delivery and
abnormal delivery (57.1%). Most mothers had secondary education (37.2%). Primary caregivers were
parents/grandparents (51%). Infants fewer than six months of age were predominant breastfeeding (62.1%).
The majority of patients had normal child development (78.3% - 97.8%). The growth, weight for age,
height for age and weight for height were normal in range. Neurodevelopmental assessment at 1, 4 and 12
months of age were normal. Anemic patients (hematocrit less than 33%) at 6 months of age were 22.6%.
Iron supplement statistically improved anemic condition (P = 0.012). The Thai Child Development Integration
Project could be established in a community hospital by training DAIM skill and be most effective
for birth asphyxia and low birth weight.
