Abstract

Elderly care focuses on slowing down deterioration and maintaining health later in life. This can be done through health promotion undertaken by systematic participation of the involvements aimed at helping the elderly attain health literacy, thereby enhancing their long-term self-reliance. The research was to 1) study the principle, objective, system, and mechanisms facilitating elderly club administration, 2) develop the models of health promotion through health literacy approach for the elderly, and 3) propose the policy suggestions for employing the developed model in the relevant areas. A mixed-method was used to study 634 Thai elderly. the 65 informants composed of the elderly committee and directors from six zones in Bangkok. The main results were the activities that contributed to the elderly’s health promotion in order of importance as “Walk, Eat, Sleep, Brain,” The process of the health literacy was sequenced by recognizing, trying to continually practice until good for health and tell good things to others. Factors facilitating the elderly club administration in four aspects composing of 1) committee, 2) budget, 3) materials, and 4) elderly members. The synthesized model was called Smart by LeIST @ BKK (Leadership: L, Information: I, Stakeholder: S, and Team: T). The major policy suggestions for employing the developed model in the relevant areas are the elderly clubs.  Corresponded agencies should correctly analyze the elderly’s needs to cover “Walk, Eat, Sleep, Brain” and use them to organize activities or projects in the health literacy approach. The research suggests that the officers should apply this model by considering principles, objectives, systems, and mechanisms according to the context. The longitudinal study and qualitative research should be further examined to employ and adjust this model deeply.

泰国曼谷老年人健康素养促进模式研究
老年人护理的重点是减缓病情恶化,并在晚年保持健康。这可以通过系统地参与旨在帮助老年人获得保健知识的活动来促进健康,从而增强他们的长期自力更生能力。本研究旨在研究老年人俱乐部管理的原则、目标、体制和机制,开发老年人健康素养促进模式,并提出在相关地区应用该模式的政策建议。采用混合方法对634名泰国老年人进行研究。65名举报人由老年人委员会和来自曼谷六个区的主任组成。主要结果是促进老年人健康的活动,其重要性依次为“走路、吃饭、睡觉、大脑”,健康素养的过程是通过认识、努力持续练习直到对健康有益,并向他人宣传好的东西来排序的。促进老年社管理的因素主要有:1)委员会、2)预算、3)材料、4)老年社员四个方面。该综合模型被LeIST @ BKK称为Smart (Leadership: L, Information: I, Stakeholder: S, Team: T)。在相关领域采用该模型的主要政策建议是老年俱乐部。相应机构应正确分析老年人在“走、吃、睡、脑”方面的需求,并利用这些需求组织健康素养方法中的活动或项目。研究表明,官员应根据具体情况,综合考虑原则、目标、制度和机制,运用这一模式。对这一模型的运用和调整还需要进一步的纵向研究和定性研究。
