Predictive Model of Supporting Factors Influencing to Moving and Transportation of Infectious Waste In Tambon Health Promoting Hospital in Upper North Eastern Region of Thailand (Sakonnakhon, Nakhonpanom and Mukdahan Province)

Abstract

This research aimed to study supporting factors influencing to moving and transportation of infectious waste in Tambon health promoting hospital at upper north eastern region of Thailand (Sakonnakhon, Nakhonpanom and Mukdahan Province). Sample were 127 who had responsible for infectious waste management in tambon health promoting hospital  selected by multistage random. Data were collected by questionnaires. Data were analyzed and interpret with frequency, percentage and mean.  The factors influencing and predictive were analyzed with stepwise multiple regression.

         The research was found that the tambon health promoting hospital were supported from the main hospital hub and others organization under control of public health ministry.   Supporting factors influencing to moving of infectious waste were mask and cart.  The predictive model in standard score was moving of infectious waste = 0.338 Z(Hospital hub supporting mask) + 0.209Z(Hospital hub Supporting cart ). The predictive value of model was 15.6 % statistical significant. (Adjusted R²=0.156: p-value <0.001).  The factors that influencing to transportation was only the main hospital hub contributed transporting of infectious waste. The predictive model in standard score was transporting of infectious waste = 0.396 Z(Hospital hub contributed transporting of infectious waste) The predictive value of model was 15.0 % statistical significant (Adjusted R²=0.150: p-value <0.001).
