The purpose of this participatory action research was to develop the injury prevention model for primary students in Rajini school, Bangkok Metropolitan. The research process was based on a mutual collaborative approach and health promoting school policy. It could be divided into 4 phases: 1) the systematic injury situational analysis 2) the study of students, parents, and teachersþ roles and responsibilities in injury prevention 3) the group development of this process of injury prevention, and 4) the evaluation of group development. The samples of this study were in Pratomsuksa 1-6, and their parents. The data were collected by means of participant observation, in-depth interview, pre and post test questionnaires, and the annual injury report from the school nursing department. Content analysis and paired T-test were employed. The results show that 75.51 percentage of students were injured from accidents. The incident rate of injury was 3 times per person per month. The major causes were falling while they played, ran or crashed. Most of them were 6 - 9 years of age. The most frequent time of injury was during the lunch hour. The first floor of the buildings, play ground, and the ladder were the most frequent areas of accident. The statistical significant factors of injury in school were age, educational level, and disability of student. The development of injury prevention model consisted of 3 phases: first, initiating impressive care relationship with students, parents, and teachers, respectively; secondly, continuing care collaboration in injury prevention activities; and third, continuing to eminently collaborate with all of the involved people in developing the preventive activities The developed model could increase the injury prevention behaviors of students and their parents, decrease injury events, and improve environmental management. Additionally, the teachers increased injury prevention activities through different media in educational activities. Nurse teachers planned preventive activities more proactively,created attractive media based on the available injury data, and participated with administrators in school safety management under health promoting school policy. After the model development, students and parents statistically improved their preventive activities, while their risk behaviors statistically decreased. This injury prevention model should be promoted and continually developed under health promoting school policy. It can be applied to the similar school structures or considerably modified depending on the school context. |
