Design and Setting: A case study method was adopted to investigate a best practice model of home-based care for people with disabilities in Nakhonthai District, Phitsanulok Province, Thailand. Data were collected from 30 participants through in-depth interviews, focus groups, direct observation and document analysis. Content and thematic analyses were conducted for qualitative data. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test was used for the outcome measurement of activities of daily living (ADL) scores.

Results: This model of home-based care for people with disabilities, as an integrated network model, brings together the community, health professionals and other organisations. The role of trained community health volunteers was mainly to deliver home-based personal care for people with disabilities, while health professionals focused mainly on controlling the quality of care, managing the knowledge and skills of volunteers, and co-ordinating the network. The difference between ADL scores before and after the implementation of the model (n=20) was statistically significant (p<0.01). Conclusion: This best practice model of home-based care for people with disabilities in rural Thailand shifts responsibility in the main service decisions from professionals to the community and other stakeholders and engages and empowered all stakeholders in the provision, co-ordination and management of care.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:57:09 AEST ]]> Identifying challenges and barriers in the delivery of primary healthcare at the district level : A study in one Thai province http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11864 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:57:09 AEST ]]> An integrative review of enablement in primary health care http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11850 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:57:08 AEST ]]> Perceptions from the front line : Professional identity in mental health nursing http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11851 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:57:08 AEST ]]> An exploration of the role that expert knowledge plays in the assessment of undergraduate clinical competence: registered nurses' experiences http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:7027 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:46:33 AEST ]]> Public perception of medical errors : experiences and risks shared in Australia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:15323 Tue 19 Oct 2021 15:44:18 AEDT ]]>
