ABSTRACT
This research objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the local Health Insurance Fund's management by using Strategic Root Map (SRM). The researchers adopted CIPP model for systematic evaluation. Ten of the Local Health Insurance Fund from 5 provinces including Chainat, Phichit, Nakhonsawan, kumpangpet and Utaitanee were investigated. Qualitative and Quantitative methods were applied. Research tools included guidelines for group and in-depth interview and questionnaires. Key informants were committees of the local Health Insurance Fund, project directors and project participants, in total 172 persons. Thematic analysis and percentile were adopted for data analysis. The project spent 1 year and six months. The study found that the objective of SRM and the local Health Insurance Fund were related to health problems. In term of input factors, the study found that most of the local Health Insurance Fund's committees were lack of readiness. Although there were 60% of them were trained, but only few understood about SRM. The data and budget were also sufficient for health community management. There were two management models found in this study. First, full application of SRM was applied. Second, partly applied SRM projects affected the operation process. The difference of both types of management models were in terms of participant preparing for planning, planning, role of participant and project approval. Meanwhile, there was no different in activity of projects. However, both types of management models confronted problems in terms of unclear division of work and evaluation and following up of Projects. In term of output, the community funds were able to achieve their goals. These were 1) people were able to assess health promotion services 2) the use of budget of all community funds was mostly focused on health promotion activities; and 3) after applying SRM all local Health Insurance Funds increased participation level.

Statistical analysis was performed by frequency, percentage, median, and odd ratio. Results showed a prevalence of 27.6% for emotional abuse, followed by sexual harassment (12.40%) and physical assaults (3.9%). The protective factor for physical assaults was physical assault perception at a low/median level (OR = 0.14, 95% CI 0.04 – 0.53) and risk factors of physical assaults related to personality factors, and neuroticism at a high/median level (OR 11.26, 95% CI 2.45 – 51.75), openness and agreeableness at a low/median level (OR = 1.06, 95% CI 1.03 – 1.09; OR = 24.56, 95% CI 15.03 – 113.80). The risk factors for emotional abuse were emotional abuse perception and sexual harassment perception at a low/median level (OR = 24.56, 95% CI 15.03 – 113.80; OR = 3.40, 95% CI 1.85 - 6.27), and the personality factor was agreeableness at a low/median level (OR = 2.73, 95% CI 1.57 – 4.76); the relationship factor was mutual help at a low/median level (OR = 2.56, 95% CI 1.40 - 4.81), and the work factors were violence related policy and violence-related values at a low/median level (OR = 4.50, 95% CI 2.15 - 9.42; OR 2.41 95% CI 1.04 – 5.60). The risk factors related to sexual harassment were gender and work experience, and violence related values at a low/median level (OR = 4.60, 95% CI 1.59 – 13.28; OR = 3.54, 95% CI 1.67 - 7.48;OR = 3.54, 95% CI 1.67 - 7.48); the protective factors related to sexual harassment were personality factors were extraversion, openness and conscientiousness at a low/median level(OR = 0.10, 95% CI 0.04 - 0.23; OR = 0.15, 95% CI 0.07 - 0.29; OR = 0.21, 95% CI 0.09 - 0.52);the relationship factors, confidence and trust at a low/median level (OR = 0.44, 95% CI 0.23 - 0.87). Results of the study suggested factors related to violence for agencies associated with occupational nurses to protect them from workplace risk violence in factories.

Factors that were significantly related to health risk behaviors were gender (X 2 = 25.818, p-value < .001), family relationship (X 2 = 6.821, p-value = .009), academic performance (rs = - 0.154, p-value = .002) having negative relationship, value (rs = 0.502, p-value < 0.001) having positive relationship, motorcycle possession/use (X 2 = 6.758, p-value = .009), sex information (X 2 = 12.626, p-value < .001), families (X 2 = 14.225, p-value =.001), and friends (X 2 = 8.175, p-value = .043).
